The $25,000 contribution from NASGW will buoy Protect Liberty PAC’s efforts ahead of the November 2026 election to ensure voters in key battleground states and congressional districts across the country are informed about candidates who will fight for their Constitutional rights and not carry out a “woke,” progressive, far left political agenda that threatens those rights.   “This is an extremely generous contribution from NASGW and represents their belief in Protect Liberty PAC’s mission to elect candidates who will fight for our liberties and freedoms, including the Second Amendment,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Protect Liberty PAC’s Treasurer. “There is less than a full year ahead before Election Day next November and we hope more businesses in the firearm, ammunition, hunting, recreational and shooting sports industry will consider following NASGW’s lead this early on and support Protect Liberty PAC – their industry’s super PAC.”   “Our rights are precious, and in our system of government, if we want to continue to preserve and protect those rights, we need to elect people to Congress who have our best interests at heart,” said NASGW President Kenyon Gleason. “NSSF’s Protect Liberty PAC was created to assist leaders who strongly represent and share the values of our members so it’s incumbent on us to help them amplify their voice by providing much needed resources. We’re proud to continue our support and urge others to consider supporting this important work as well.” Protect Liberty PAC is a federally registered “super PAC” founded in 2023 by NSSF.  Protect Liberty PAC is an independent-expenditure only political committee and can accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions from companies in or outside of the industry, so long as they do not have federal contracts. Protect Liberty PAC will expressly advocate for the election or defeat of specific candidates and that advocacy will be completely independent of any candidate or political party. Contributions to Protect Liberty PAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Federal law requires Protect Liberty PAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and the name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. Protect Liberty PAC can accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions.  However, contributions from foreign nationals, federal contractors, national banks, and federally chartered corporations are prohibited.     Protect Liberty PAC is an independent-expenditure only political committee. We may receive unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labor unions and other political action committees for the purpose of financing independent expenditures in federal elections. Contributions from foreign nationals, federal contractors, national banks or federally chartered corporations are prohibited. Only U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens (green card holders residing in the U.S.) may make or be solicited for contributions.
