Glenn Beck, the popular and outspoken Fox News host, says he wants to go beyond broadcasting his opinions and start rallying his political base — formerly known as his audience — to take action.
Beck is looking to turn his popularity into political victories

Thanks, Glenn for WALKING your TALK!
We, the great Silent Majority, are also ready to speak out and QUESTION WITHOUT FEAR! You have inspired many of us who had lost hope – we WILL overcome this 'locust infestation' that has come upon our great country! Americans will NOT willingly accept communism…and that appears to be the direction this administration is aiming for.
Beck is one of the worst people ever given a TV show too. He's absolutely ridiculous.
