The Berks County Patriots is a 501.c.4, non-profit, non-partisan, educational group committed to addressing, restoring, and promoting the conservative values and ideals espoused in America’s founding documents; that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.” We feel these include, but are not limited to, life, liberty, property ownership, free speech, a free market, the right to bear arms, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that a limited government is necessary to ensure these rights for “We the People.” Jan 2026

"Safe Berks" receives a Donation

Berks County has zero tolerance for abuse.

Auctioned Off - an invitation given to the White House from the King of England
Christian Leinbach donated an invitation that was auctioned off he received from the White House when the King of England visited.
Will ??? was the winner of the auction.
The Department of Health
mandated the wearing of masks, which it did not have the authority to do in our public schools.
The PA Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that the Department of Health never had that authority.
Now they are back at it, and they are also incorporating a new section that allows investigators to enter an apartment, a school, or a building on nothing more than their own credentials.
The public comment period closes Sept. 21. That’s less than two weeks.
That is how they planned it.
After that, the window for objecting without a lawyer closes with it.
“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it. “
Ronald
Reagan

It might be Ragged, it might be Torn but it Still Flies
This American Flag looks torn and ragged, and maybe it is. Our country might look the same to those looking at us from outside our borders. But to me it looks great from the inside. All the efforts of those who want to take away our freedoms and disobey our laws, we will defend and always remain UNITED as ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
By this Ragged Old Citizen who will Never Give Up.

STACY GARRITY
Raising Hope In Pennsylvania
A decorated veteran, business leader, and Pennsylvania’s trusted Treasurer—ready to lead with transparency and accountability.
A Proven Record
* A fighter who saved taxpayers almost two hundred million dollars by eliminating fraud and inefficiency.
* A strong ally of President Trump, and like the President, supports protecting healthcare and welfare benefits for vulnerable Americans.
* A proven leader who has made ethics in her office and full transparency a top priority.
“ I’m not just going to ask for your support; I’m going to put in the time… to earn it. “
Stacy Garrity will apply the lessons she’s learned and experiences she’s encountered as a successful businesswoman, soldier, and public servant to put THE KEYSTONE STATE back in place as the Keystone of the United States of America.
She will make Pennsylvania Strong Again.

Berks County Patriots Proudly Endorses Stacy Garrity for our next Governor

Stacy Garrity for our next Governor of Pennsylvania
Stacy Garrity grew up in Bradford County, earned a finance degree at Bloomsburg University, and served as a second-term state treasurer.
Stacy is a retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel; she was deployed three times between 1991 and 2008 in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. Garrity received two Bronze Stars and the Legion of Merit award for her service.
She believes Pennsylvania must continue in the natural gas drilling field to stay number two in the country in exporting energy. She has a strong desire to help farmers in our state.
She worked at Global Tungsten & Powders — a Pennsylvania-based company that makes powders used in electronics and tools. She began her career there as a cost accountant and rose to vice president of government affairs. According to her campaign, she was one of the company’s first female VPs.
She was also president of the Refractory Metals Association, an industry group, from 2018 to 2021.
She pushed for a successful bill to keep the U.S. Department of Defense from buying certain tungsten products from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
Garrity attends the Christian Life Church in Waverly, New York. She is an elected member of its prayer council.
Berks County Patriots Proudly Endorses Jason Richey for our next Lt. Governor
Jason Richey for our next Lt. Governor
Jason grew up in Aliquippa, Beaver County, and attended Hopewell Area High School, where he played football and wrestled while taking numerous odd jobs to help his family, including grass cutting, busboy, roofer, and McDonalds’s cook.
Jason attended Allegheny College, where he graduated magna cum laude, which earned him Phi Beta Kappa honors. Additionally, Jason became a three-time NCAA Academic All-American wrestler and finished his collegiate wrestling career as only the third wrestler in Allegheny College history with 100 wins.
Richey has also dedicated his time to giving back to his community. Richey founded the Quaker Valley Wrestling Association for the good of children, the school district, and his community. He partnered with friends who had young children in the Quaker Valley School District to bring a competitive community wrestling program available to all kids, including girls, to fruition.
After graduating from the Ohio State College of Law, he returned home to Pittsburgh to practice law.
Richey has represented companies to uncover government corruption and procurement irregularities at state and local governments throughout the country.
Jason Richey and his wife, Melissa, reside in Sewickley, Allegheny County. They are the proud parents of three sons: Justin, Logan, and Marcus.

November’s General Meeting
Speaker(s) soon to be announced
Thursday, November 19th, 2026
Berks County Patriots
November 3rd is the General Election. This election is also referred to as the midterm election.
This is halfway into the President’s term.
Patriots, currently, we have a trifecta.
This means the conservatives have the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the presidency.
If we lose them, get out and vote for conservatives.
When will my mail ballot be counted in Pennsylvania?
This is because every mail ballot outer envelope has an individual barcode that is specific to you. Once this barcode is scanned, it will be recorded that your mail ballot was received.
However, your mail ballot will not be opened and counted until Election Day, per Pennsylvania law.
**Mail-In Ballot Request Deadline: General
When will I receive my mail ballot?
As soon as ballots are certified and available, but no later than 70 days before the general election.
While any proceeding is pending in a Federal or State court which would affect the contents of any ballot, the county board of elections may await a resolution of that proceeding but, in any event, shall commence to deliver or mail official absentee ballots not later than the second Tuesday before the primary or election.
The second Tuesday before November 3rd is October 20th, 2026.
August 26th would be 70 days before November 3rd, 2026.
But most likely they won’t be mailed till mid Spetemeber.
