Deborah
Ringhaver Lane
A housewife, mother of four, entrepreneurial
capitalist, and fierce patriot, Deborah Ringhaver
Lane lives in a small town in her home state
of Florida. Florida’s high profile role
in the nation’s grassroots efforts to
reclaim our nation’s founding ethos made
it easy for her to find a way to become involved.
She began in 2008 when she founded BEEME.US,
a small business that creates and sells politically
incorrect car magnets. In March 2010 she began
development of TSPAN.US, a web channel designed
for all people interested in all aspects of
the patriot activist movement. The site was
launched in June of 2010. During this time she
began joining and volunteering for such worthwhile
groups like “As A Mom…A Sisterhood
of Mommy Patriots” and Homemakers For
America where she became the Vice President.
It was through her involvement with the Homemakers
for America that she became so devoted to its
adjunct project: The Abigail Adams Project.
“After the 9/12 March on Washington, D.C.
in 2009, I knew that I needed to apply all of
the time and money (I was spending on going
from rally to rally waving signs) to some concrete
activity that would make a measurable difference
when the elections were held. What we needed
were results! I was looking for a way to help
my country and its future reclaim some of what
has been lost through years of complaisance
regarding the political process. The Abigail
Adams Project was the perfect fit! Through the
Project I could influence election outcomes
without entering into the seaminess of the political
fray. Eureka!”

Foster
Friess
Renowned investor Foster Friess works to encourage
private sector solutions to improve the lives
of others. Through his web presence at FosterFriess.com
and his Campfire Blog, Foster works to promote
the Founding Father principles of free enterprise,
limited constitutional government, fiscal responsibility,
and traditional American values.
Born in Rice Lake, Wisconsin in 1940, Foster
Friess is a first-generation college graduate.
His mother dropped out of school in the eighth
grade to pick cotton in order to save the family
farm in Texas. His father dealt cattle and horses.
Lacking enthusiasm about the prospects of
being drafted as a private first class foot
soldier, Foster enrolled in the Reserves Officer
Training Corp at the University of Wisconsin.
He trained as an Infantry Platoon Leader and
served as an Intelligence Officer for the First
Guided Missile Brigade in El Paso, TX.
In 1974, Foster and Lynn launched Friess Associates.
The firm’s flagship, the Brandywine Fund,
averaged 20 percent annual gains in the 1990s,
causing Forbes magazine to name it one of the
decade’s top mutual funds. Business Week
heralded him as the “longest surviving
successful growth stock picker” and CNBC’s
Ron Insana dubbed him one of the “century’s
great investors.”

Chad
Biddinger
Chad Biddinger is the Founder of LibertyLinked.
He was raised in Detroit, where he watched the
‘poster child’ city of the Left’s
progressive policies demolish massive wealth
and devastate families by creating generational
dependency. From an early age, he became passionate
about eliminating the tyranny of the Left that
destroyed his hometown and its people.
For much of his career, Chad served as youngest
VP at EDS, a company with 140,000 employees
where he was responsible for the executive oversight
of solutions development, negotiation and approval
of over $3 billion in total contract value,
and numerous $100+ million business units that
spanned the globe. After EDS, Chad spent 3 years
serving the poor in a Mission in Calcutta, India.
Upon his return Chad successfully ran etalk,
a $50M software company and led several technology
start-ups, building technology solutions for
companies such as Dell, American Airlines and
AT&T. In 2008 Chad led the development of
a Social Networking company. Regarded as a quick
learner, strategic thinker, expert negotiator
and creative problem solver, Chad’s strength
lies in his ability to assemble and motivate
small teams to accomplish big goals.
As he watched the providential rebirth of liberty
in the tea party movement, he knew he was strategically
positioned to serve the grassroots with his
technology experience and passion for liberty.
Today Chad is working with our partners to provide
the proven methodology and tools required to
create the ultimate ground game.

Lorie
Medina
A LibertyLinked partner, Lorie Medina led the
creation of Victory in a Box. Lorie grew up in
a small Missouri town outside of Kansas City.
Soon after earning her BA in General Business
at Baylor University in 1990, she moved to Dallas
to begin her successful career in telecommunications.
Today, Lorie and her husband, Russ own a company
that provides managed telephony services to small
and medium-sized businesses. Russ, Lorie, and
their two daughters live in a suburb of Dallas.
Lorie has been concerned with America's growing
disconnection to our founding principles for
many years. When the Tea Party movement began
February 27, 2009, she was inspired, and founded
the Frisco Tea Party in association with the
Dallas Tea Party. Her Frisco group started with
11 people in her family room and has since grown
to a vibrant and effective organization with
more than 750 members.
Lorie used her strong business background and
organizational talents to replicate her success
and established local groups all over the Dallas/Fort
Worth metro area. She continues to recruit and
train new tea party leaders on how to best lead
an effective grassroots group. Within the 18,000-member

groups. ViBx was taught to over 200 leaders
in 6 meetings that were geographically positioned
across the Dallas/Fort Worth region. The leaders
subsequently rolled out the program to their
local members.
"Victory in a Box" achieved eye-popping
results. The North Texas region experienced
historic voter turnout numbers including off-the-charts
participation of first-time voters. The November
elections resulted in an historic 101-49 Republican
majority in the state legislature - the largest
majority since Reconstruction.
Lorie wrote "Community Organizing for
Conservatives" which was published by Harper
Collins' Broadside Books division. It is part
of an ongoing series called, "Voices of
the Tea Party." Lorie was a recognized
Finalist in the Dallas Morning News' Texan of

In 2008 she came forward as the confidential

the impoverished and marginalized communities,

Brandon
Darby
A LibertyLinked partner, Brandon Darby founded
Citizen Patriot Response on the belief that
people and communities help those in need more
efficiently, timely, and sustainably than a
centralized federal government.
Formerly, Brandon was an activist who rose
to international recognition for his role in
co-founding and directing the Common Ground
Relief organization in New Orleans’ 9th
Ward in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Though once a prominent radical who worked with
former Black Panther Party members, Palestinian
and various other radical groups, his experiences
led him to have a deep love for his country
and to feel an obligation to support and protect
its system.
As a result of seeing first hand the misguided
motives and practices of the far left, Brandon
experienced an amazing metamorphosis and is
now no longer an activist serving the “dark
side” – he is now one of us. As
a part of his conversion, Brandon once again
gained international recognition for his role
as an undercover operative in the FBI's Informant/Human
Source Program, working with the FBI’s
Joint Terrorism Task Force and having directly
participated in stopping violence against U.S.
and Israeli citizens. Furthermore, his public
stance of being proud to have served with the
FBI and his refusal to be silent and enter the
Witness Protection Program has been a source
of controversy and outrage amongst radical Leftist
groups.
His work and efforts have been profiled in
hundreds of print, radio, and television interviews,
and he is regularly published on sites such
as BigGovernment.com. He has been a subject
of numerous documentaries.
He currently resides in his home state of Texas
and continues with his passion to investigate
and expose groups and individuals who intend
harm to the United States, though he now does
so as a private citizen. He has become a staunch
ally and advocate for the FBI’s use of
informants and for the role they play in the
front lines of keeping citizens rights and safety
protected. |

Sheriff
Richard Mack
Author/speaker and former sheriff Richard Mack
has served in a wide variety of roles over the
course of his nearly twenty year career in law
enforcement, which began in Provo, Utah.
Mack began his career with the Provo Police Department
as a parking enforcement cadet while attending
BYU. A couple of years later he became a full-time
officer and was soon promoted to Corporal, Sergeant,
and Detective. His most traumatic experience there
was a one-year assignment as an undercover narcotics
agent. After nearly 11 years at Provo PD, Mack
decided to return to his childhood turf in Arizona
and run for Graham County Sheriff. His campaign
took off and he was elected in 1988.
He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. He was
named Elected Official of the Year by the Arizona-New
Mexico Coalition of Counties in 1994, received
the NRA Law Officer of the Year, inducted into
the NRA Hall of Fame, 1995 Cicero Award, Samuel
Adams Leadership Award from the Local Sovereignty
Coalition, and Gun Owners of America Defender
of the Second Amendment Award.
During his tenure, federal officers informed the
sheriffs of the state that they would be required
to enforce the so-called "Brady Bill" and run
background checks at their expense under the law.
In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across
the country, challenged the constitutionality
of the Brady Bill and ultimately, fought it all
the way to the United States Supreme Court, where
they won a monumental decision for freedom.
Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision
based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States
Constitution, Mack won his case.
During the past two years Sheriff Mack has been
a speaker at more than 70 different Tea Party
rallies all across the country, ranging all the
way from Honolulu to Bangor, Maine. Mack has supported
this noble movement, because it is both effective
and peaceful. |

Democratic Party, from Barack Obama to the grassroots
level. New Zeal has broken several significant
stories, including the connection of a young
Barack Obama to the Hawaiian-based communist
Frank Marshall Davis, and exposing the communist
roots of Obama’s “Green Jobs Czar,”
Van Jones – which led to Jones’
resignation from his White House position.
New Zeal has been cited in several books,
dozens of magazine articles, hundreds of radio
broadcasts and countless blog posts and websites.
Material has been used by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh,
and many other broadcasters. New Zeal work has
even been read into U.S. Congressional Record.
Though based in New Zealand, Loudon’s
New Zeal blog has consistently rated amongst
the top US political blogs.
Trevor Loudon is also the editor of KeyWiki,
a rapidly expanding online encyclopedia focusing
on the US left. In October this year Mr Loudon
will be releasing his new book “Barack
Obama and the Enemies Within.”

Todd
Allen Herendeen
From country music, to rockin’ some
of the pioneers of music, Todd is the ultimate
performer.
Todd hails from the great American mid-west
state of Indiana, which has had many fabulous
talents come out of it like James Dean, The
Jackson 5, John Melloncamp, Abraham Lincoln
& David Letterman- to name a few!
Todd's goal every night as he walks on stage
is for everyone to leave saying "that was
the best show I've ever seen." That's exactly
what we hear! His drive, along with his dynamic
voice and excellent showmanship have gained
him much success in his 12 years of performing
professionally.
He is so versatile, his show can be country,
rock 'n' roll, and much more. This versatility
has lead him to perform as the opening act for
such rock 'n' roll legends as: Jerry Lee Lewis,
Chuck Berry, Chubby Checker, The Four Tops,
The Platters, Leslie Gore, Danny and the Juniors,
Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon, Diamond
Dave Somerville, and The Beach Boys. He recently
worked with B.J. Thomas and The Drifters! Opening
for Foreigner twice was awesome too, as Todd
got to do some classic rock!

Stephen
Kruiser
Stephen Kruiser's comedic biography is difficult
to write when the writer isn't a comedian. But
I will say this guy will keep you in tears.
His biography? Laugh, Laugh, Laugh.
From the ridiculous to the impossible. He's
one great conservative comedian. |
