Today on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, one of our favorite Senators, Jim Demint, author of The Great American Awakening: Two Years that Changed America, Washington and Me, gives a behind the scenes look at the Senate in a time of the Tea Party, town halls and rallies across the country. “I have no power at all unless I’m standing with millions of Americans who feel the same way,” says the South Carolina Senator, who explains that it is really the next two years that will determine the future of our nation. Via the Senate Conservatives Fund, Demint helped elect Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Pat Toomey and others last November, and explains how he will continue to fight in the election year ahead, and why now more than ever we must preserve “peace through strength.”
