PATRIOT ACADEMY HOSTS LARGEST CLASS OF GRADUATES IN 2025
Patriot Academy closed out July with the largest Leadership Congress on our very own campus in Fredericksburg, Texas. Approximately 150 youth took part in the premier leadership training program at the campus this summer, which combines the most realistic, simulated legislative session with training on principles, strategies, and skills required for them to lead their generation and our nation with character and courage. The first Leadership Congress took place twenty-two years ago in 2003 with only 35 students. Leadership Congress has grown immensely over the past twenty-two years, expanding to different regions around the country, annually reaching over 400 young leaders, 16-25 years old.
Students who attend are committed to restoring America’s Constitutional Republic by renewing the Biblical principles of liberty upon which this nation was built, and many go on to serve as members of Congress, as State Legislators, campaign consultants, legislative staffers, and more.

REBUILDING LIBERTY—WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
July also saw the celebration of our nation’s 249th birthday. With less than a year left before America turns 250 on July 4, 2026. The time to Rebuild Liberty is NOW. In a move to inspire patriotism and encourage action, we released a brand new course giving participants practical steps to be a part of the movement to restore freedom and rebuild liberty.
As part of this course, we’re releasing a brand new book by Rick Green titled, “A Blueprint for Rebuilding Liberty Just in Time for America’s 250th.” There will also be a workbook, DVD, and Thumb drives for you or any of our 30,000+ Hosts/Coaches to use to host classes in your community. We’re excited to help others take the steps to rebuild liberty in our nation. To learn more, visit: https://www.patriotacademy.com/250th/
HILL COUNTRY FLOOD RELIEF
In July, while hosting a month-long intensive program on the campus, devastating floods struck the Hill Country, destroying homes and upending lives. Thankfully, our campus—located 10 miles from the Guadalupe River—remained safe. This allowed us to step in and serve as the hands and feet our local communities needed. In the immediate aftermath, we mobilized with our equipment, distributed supplies, assisted in search efforts, and more. Rick shared his thoughts as Patriot Academy worked to support those impacted by the disaster.
LIVE IN THE TAVERN
The Tavern is now LIVE on Facebook, X, Rumble and YouTube with new episodes airing every Monday night at 6:00 PM CT. In the latest episode, Rick shared his thoughts on what’s good, bad, and ugly happening right now, including the recent ruling by the IRS that pastors can endorse a candidate from the Pulpit.

CONSTITUTION CITY
“Alright it’s Day 1 of becoming a City. We are pushing back because of the over-regulation of our property and having to jump through hoops and wait for county regulators and engineers to tell us that it’s okay to put a parking spot in, or an RV slot. So, we are now Day 1 of starting Constitution City, Texas. Yes, we’re creating a city so that we can be an example of how to make logical, common sense decisions about how to develop our property. We’ve got people coming in from all over with lots of folks moving here to be inhabitants of Constitution City and help us start this. It’s going to be a great adventure and I believe it’s going to be something that catches fire across the country to restore basic property rights.” – Rick Green, Founder & President of Patriot Academy, July 3, 2025.
Years of frustration at overregulation occurring at the county level of government inspired Patriot Academy to begin the process of incorporating into a city and fully live out what is required to effectively run city government. An unexpected betrayal is setting Constitution City back a year, but we are not done! We will continue to work towards becoming a city.

We are continually amazed at how God is moving in this nation and the incredible opportunities we have had as an organization to touch lives and make an impact. It has been a very full 2025 so far! We are looking forward to what’s next and would love for you to join the journey. Until next time!
