"Yesterday afternoon, I donated photos of Andrew Breitbart to the Wisconsin Historical Society. The Society had requested photos from American Majority’s I Stand with Walker Rally held last February 19, at the peak of the Budget Repair Bill Battle. As I reviewed Breitbart’s photos prior to donating them, I remembered Breitbart’s boldness and fearlessness that have inspired so many people across this great nation. Thanks to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Breitbart will live on in Wisconsin.

It seems like just yesterday, Andrew Breitbart was getting dropped off on the Wisconsin Capitol Square, just a block from thousands of union protesters who were beginning to march around the Tea Party faithful that turned out on a cold Wisconsin February day to support the Budget Repair Bill. I went out past the barriers separating the union protesters and the Tea Party to meet him and welcomed him to Wisconsin.

He surely had read about the union protests taking place all that week in Madison. With such an unprecedented amount of protesters in Madison I was very concerned for his safety. But when Breitbart left his vehicle, he had a fearlessness about him that amazed me. He wasn’t scared of these protesters. I could tell from the look in his eye that he lived for moments like these, where he could inspire patriots, taunt liberals, and call out the mainstream media before a national audience. All eyes were on Wisconsin that day and Breitbart was the center of the Rally.

The words from his speech live on. He started by thanking the patriots there for making history in Wisconsin."...
