MISSION STATEMENT
The Berks County Patriots organization is a non-profit, non-partisan group located in Southeastern Pennsylvania. We are committed to restoring and promoting the conservative values and ideals espoused in America’s founding documents. “We are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights” including life, liberty, property, free speech, a free market, and the pursuit of happiness. A limited government is necessary to ensure these rights for the people.

Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
Oniy a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to controi them.
Gun control is not about guns: it’s about control.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns, no peace, no safety.
You don’t shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
Assault is a behavior, not a device.
