Levin Calls on Tea Party to Fight Tyranny in USA

Keynoting an event honoring the five-year anniversary of the Tea Party on Thursday, conservative scholar and talk radio host Mark Levin said that the Tea Party movement is the only thing standing between what is left of the country's republic and the tyranny of runaway government.

Levin said the government that is supposed to serve the people is "devouring" us, while the Constitution's firewalls are being breached by a lawless president, a feckless Congress, and an all-powerful Supreme Court.
He said it was an honor to speak in front of the Tea Party and thanked those in the movement for having the "spirit and enthusiasm of the founding fathers" and not being afraid to insist "on the federal government's compliance with the constitution's limits."
Levin said that for this, the Tea Party is "smeared and attacked by the ruling class, Democrats and Republicans alike," in addition to the media and "countless others who are dragging the nation into the abyss."
Levin said that, under this assault, it is understandable for those fighting for liberty to want to live quiet lives with family and friends and wonder "if it is worth it" and "if it will be able to reverse course." But he said that he also knew "you are Americans. You cannot be idle. And you will not be silent while a relative handful of self-aggrandizing masterminds seek to lord over you and your fellow citizens."
"You will not allow your country to fail," Levin declared.
Levin said that those in George Washington's Continental Army, before they crossed the Delaware, read Thomas Paine, whom President Ronald Reagan always read and quoted on the stump and to his advisers.
Levin quoted from Paine's The American Crisis about these being the "times that try men's soul" and "the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph. Triumph we must and triumph we will."
He emphasized that Reagan was an outsider who was not a part of the establishment and who had the "courage to stand up and be counted." And like today's Tea Party, Reagan was blasted by George Will, Nelson Rockefeller – who Levin quipped runs today's Republican party – and the Wall Street Journal. Levin read their disparaging attacks on Reagan before he went on to win two landslide victories and defeat the Soviet Union.
Levin, who campaigned and worked for Reagan, said that Reagan would have stood before the Tea Party and thanked them for all that they have done. He said Reagan would have been "enormously proud" of the movement and reminded those in attendance of Reagan's words about freedom being just one generation away from extinction. Levin said that the Tea Party movement is "astutely aware of the peril of the moment and all that is at stake."
Levin will also be honored with the inaugural "Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award" at this year's CPAC on Thursday, March 6.
As Breitbart News has reported, Levin's monumental book, Liberty and Tyranny, sold over a million copies even though the mainstream media did not discuss or review it. The book presaged the Tea Party movement and was published shortly after Obama took office in 2009, and it predicted much of Obama's statist agenda. Like the Tea Party movement and Levin, "it circumvented the legacy press to make a lasting impact. The success of the book also proved that the mainstream press are no longer the sole gatekeepers in today's media environment."
Jeffrey Lord, a conservative writer for the American Spectator and former Reagan administration official, also spoke at the event and said that nobody has done more to bring awareness to the meaning of the Constitution than Levin. Lord called Levin a "national treasure" and said "we owe him a considerable debt of gratitude."

Exclusive: Mark Levin to Receive Inaugural Citizens United 'Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award' at CPAC

Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin will be honored with the inaugural "Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award" at this year's CPAC on Thursday, March 6.

Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow will introduce Citizens United President David Bossie, who will present the award to Levin along with Breitbart News President and CEO Larry Solov and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon.
"Mark Levin fearlessly and passionately stands up for conservatives and everyday Americans whose voices the mainstream press often tries to marginalize or silence," Solov said. "And like Andrew Breitbart, Levin has a way of cutting through the mainstream press's filter with his words and is never afraid to have arrows slung at him by the institutional left on the front lines of the fight."
It will mark Levin's only appearance at this year's conference. The ceremony will take place in the CPAC Theater in the Chesapeake conference rooms that Citizens United will sponsor.
"Levin is not only a friend, but supports and defends the vision of our Founding Fathers on his nationally syndicated radio program daily," Citizens United President David Bossie told Breitbart News. "There is nobody better to receive this inaugural award and I am happy that he will be joining us at CPAC to accept it.”
Bossie said Citizens United was again "so thrilled to once again host the CPAC theater and give conference attendees a chance to view great conservative films that have had an impact on our culture.”
“Throughout the conference we are honored to host a number of conservative warriors in the CPAC theater, and look forward to a fantastic weekend with conservative activists who are on the front lines fighting for freedom every day in their communities," he said. "This year’s CPAC theater program is going to be a great one.”
Citizens United will have a special tribute to the late Andrew Breitbart from 12 PM to 2:30 PM EST on Thursday in the CPAC Theater, which will also run various conservative films and Citizens United productions throughout the conference.
Levin, who will keynote a conference this week marking the fifth anniversary of the Tea Party movement, has been one of the Tea Party movement's most important voices. His book, Liberty and Tyranny, sold over a million copies even though the mainstream media did not discuss or review it. The book, published shortly after Obama took office in 2009, predicted much of Obama's statist agenda and, like the Tea Party movement and Levin, circumvented the legacy press to make a lasting impact. The success of the book also proved that the mainstream press are no longer the sole gatekeepers in today's media environment.
