Patriot Post Mid-Year Report -- Defeating the Obama Regime

"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." --Thomas Paine in The American Crisis, 1776 Fellow Patriot, Thank you for your steadfast devotion to Liberty and for supporting our part in keeping the flame of Liberty burning bright! This has been a very challenging year for The Patriot Post, as it has for most of our Patriot brothers and sisters. However, with your support we have met those challenges and are forging ahead full throttle. Despite so many financial obstacles, our Patriot ranks made sure that we met our 2012 Independence Day Campaign goal. In fact, we exceeded our 2011 goal by 1.8 percent -- that doesn't sound like much, but thanks to you, The Patriot Post is on solid financial footing. Our mission and operations are fully funded through the end of the third quarter. Thank you also for being patient with our campaign appeals. We run three campaigns each year -- Patriots' Day, Independence Day and our Year-End campaign. Because we are totally supported by grassroots Patriots, those appeals keep The Patriot Post's "Voice of Essential Liberty" loud and clear. Running these campaigns and operating on such thin margins causes a lot of heartburn, but that is much more than offset by the honor of serving our fellow Patriots across the nation. I did receive one note from a young Patriot during this campaign, which didn't make the deadline for comments in last Monday's Brief. Let me share it with you now: "I am a high school senior and I worked weekends through the school year and many summers as a waitress, in order to afford college tuition. That being said, I have donated to The Patriot Fund three times in the last two years. The Patriot Post led me to a full understanding of, and love for Liberty. I know for a fact that The Patriot operates on a tight budget because my father knows Mr. Alexander personally -- and says his business and ministry endeavors succeed because he is a very good steward of what God provides through the hands of the Post's supporters. The Patriot has helped me win many political debates and more than a few converts! I will be voting for the first time this November and will be voting right!" --Sarah from Nashville Sarah represents the next generation of American Patriots. With Sarah, and millions of other frontline grassroots Patriots, we will defeat the Obama regime in November! Since our inception back in 1996, we have tirelessly defended and promoted Essential Liberty, and we have done so with very limited resources. Our Patriot Post Team of editorial and technical folks work hard and receive little compensation, but we are all mission driven, and you will find no more dedicated group of Patriots anywhere. Your generous support ensures that The Patriot Post's timeless advocacy for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values, is distributed to an ever-wider audience of conservative grassroots activists. A key resource for reaching, educating and uniting new Patriots is our website, which was completely revised last month. While the appearance changes are obvious, there are numerous unseen technological upgrades making our site more accessible for mobile devices and other platforms. Two outstanding resources on our site are the Patriot Headline Report (the Internet's most comprehensive and easy-to-navigate source for news relevant to Liberty), and The Right Opinion (the best selection of nationally syndicated conservative columnists anywhere). As always, our site is not cluttered with any advertising. Please bookmark those pages for news and opinion updated 24/7. Of course, you are our best source for reaching other Patriots. There are some quick ways you can help spread the brushfires of Freedom so please click here to learn more. On behalf of your Patriot Post Team and National Advisory Committee, thank you for standing on so many fronts in defense of Liberty! Sincerely, Mark Alexander, Christy Chesterton
