Friend,

Congressman Kinzinger is on military duty this week, and unable to write himself, but we've got some fun things to share and couldn't wait to tell you. 

First, by popular demand, we're thrilled to announce that today we launched The Country Over Party Pop-Up Shop Event!  This is all great quality, well designed, limited edition, American made gear that will only be available for the next week, and then the shop will close.  All orders must be submitted by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, March 27th.  All sales will go toward growing the Country First movement and helping candidates who vow to put our Country before Party.  These items are a great way to showcase one of the chief values of our movement... and may even be the perfect gift for someone who needs to hear it!?

Next, in case you aren't aware, Adam has been hosting Country First Conversations with thought leaders each week, and has some great guests coming up in March and April.  You can listen to the podcast re-runs on our website, our YouTube channel, and on every podcast network.  Just search for "Country First Conversations."  Subscribe, Rate, and Review if you enjoy the podcasts -- it helps the message get to more people.  If you're interested in participating in these chats live, in real-time, you can join the Country First Clubhouse by downloading the Clubhouse Drop-In Audio App on your iOS device and have the opportunity to ask questions.  We'd love to have you!  Below is a link to our latest episode.

Please also stay tuned this week for an exciting Country First endorsement that perfectly highlights the kind of leaders our movement wants to support -- people who place our country and principles before parties and power, are willing to face uncomfortable truths, and lead people in a better direction.

Finally, thank you for your continued support of Congressman Kinzinger and Country First.  His National Guard duty this week reminded our team of something he's repeatedly said when asked if he's worried about losing his seat to one of his four declared primary challengers:  "We ask our young men and women in the Armed Forces to risk their lives in defense of the country we love.  How can I be afraid of losing a job for doing the same thing?"

As this movement continues to grow, we will be there to help and protect leaders like Adam, battle the darkness and lies trying to overtake our nation, and replace toxic politicians with good, reasonable, principled leaders.  Your encouragement and support makes this possible, and we appreciate it very much.

Until next time, and Adam's return, be well,

The Country First Team

PS:  Thank you very much to the many thousands of you who participated in the in-depth survey we commissioned.  We had an excellent sample size, and were amazed by the results.  More details to come as we have a chance to digest the data points, but to sum it up, Country First has attracted exactly who we hoped it would: Reasonable people of good will who want to find common ground to make our country better.  It's all very encouraging!
