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

Thank You to all Americans that voted.
We who side with the conservitive Vaules and issues didn't win every battle, but we fought the good fight for what is right through the eyes of GOD.
Remember, this was our midterm election and we said it was important.
Did we keep the U.S. House?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the Pennsylvaia House?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the U.S. Senate?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the Pennsylvania Senate?
Doesn't look like we did.
Tony Ratiocination
“Now, with a Democratic trifecta in Pennsylvania, the Democrats,starting in Jnauary 2027, will have the opportunity to pass more laws through the House, the Senate, and to the governors' desk to make them law. To start, they want to raise the minimum wage and change various firearms laws, build more (free) housing, and codify abortion rights.”
This could make our state just like California and New York.
The U.S. still has President Trump to veto Democrats' liberal agenda but not so in Pennsylvania.
Remember, this was our midterm election, and we said it was important.
Folks, this is what makes our country so unique.
Unfortunately, for those of us with conservative values, we need to pray and have faith in Jesus and hope for a future where we know God will be there, no matter the outcome here on earth, for we know the future- the future of our souls.
Did we keep the U.S. House?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the Pennsylvaia House?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the U.S. Senate?
Doesn't look like we did.
Did we keep the Pennsylvania Senate?
Doesn't look like we did.

HIGHLIGHTS
FROM OUR LAST MEEITNG
Please Consider
Volunteering
To ensure our next election
Primary on May 18, 2027,
is fair and honest.
This will be about YOUR children.
Who is in charge of your schools?
We need volunteers for poll watching and other various duties.
We need more people for this
important responsibility.
Additionally, for those who will not be available for poll watching or
do not wish to do poll watching, we still need representation at all of the following:
PRE-Election Period
Logic and Accuracy testing of the precinct scanners/tabulators, high-speed scanners/tabulators, ballot marking devices, and electronic poll books.
The "precinct" scanner and tabulator testing will begin Monday, October 5th and may last more than one day/one. You do not need to be an expert in computer technology.
On Election Day
Observers for the processing of the mail ballots, which will take place at 7 AM on the day of the election. This will continue until it is completed (most likely Wednesday morning after election day). You should be willing to arrive by 6:15 AM on election day but need not stay for the entire duration.
Post-Election Functions
Observers for the official canvass of all ballots and the adjudication of provisional ballots are vital.
This could take several days; we ask volunteers to serve an entire shift if possible or a partial shift. These volunteers would be considered Observers or Auditors and would need the approval of the Berks County Republican Committee Chair, Jim Billman, and the Election Services Director.
How do I go about volunteering?
Come to the Berks County Patriots
October 15th Meeting
Ask any board member for details.
Or leave your phone # and a message at
484-818-1169
Or if you see Tony Ratiocination at the meeting, ask him.
What happens after all the Votes are counted:
We will need Observers & Auditors for the "2% Audit".
This is scheduled after the election. This job would require one to be actively involved in observing ballots, counting the votes, and tabulating the results of 2% of the ballots as determined by the law.
An Auditor is expected to work an entire workday if needed. Depending on various circumstances, the Audit may take more than one day to complete.
The Auditor would work with a paid election staff and a Democrat.
Everyone would verify the vote together. Believe it or not, working with a Democrat is fun; we are both doing it for the same reason: to audit the vote as prescribed by law.
Volunteers are needed for many other jobs, meetings, etc.
I am willing to talk to anyone who has an interest in serving in any of the operations.
These are all volunteer positions and can take place at 600 Penn Street in Reading (a secure bldg.), the South Campus in Mohnton, or the Elections Office on Court Street in Reading, various polling places, as well as the Republican headquarters in Berks County near Routes 73 & 222. It all depends on the job.
Thank you for considering this request.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."

“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.

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.
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.
