Each year the Minuteman Project chooses a person whose historical contributions to our nation’s heralded stature as a nation of laws is so profound that he or she merits our organization’s designation as “Patriot of The Year.”
It is our sincere honor to announce the Minuteman Project Patriot of the Year for 2013, Mr. Steven Eichler, the C.E.O. of TeaParty.org, one of the largest and most influential Tea Party groups in the country.
Mr. Eichler has substantial experience as a political and social activist and was instrumental in helping Jim Gilchrist to build the Minuteman Project into the most influential immigration law enforcement advocacy group of all time. He has also very successfully fended off hostile attempts to discredit the Minuteman Project by selfish propagandists and opportunists like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
After a five-year term as chief executive officer to the Minuteman Project, Mr. Eichler moved on to create and build other internet-based activist organizations, most notably, TeaParty.org, a political activist group with followers numbering in the millions. The Minuteman Project wishes our trusted friend Steven Eichler well in his endeavors and is proud to name him “Patriot of the Year.” His impressive resume appears below.
