Stan Blake in November.ĭonate Now Burt’s “Three Percenter” tattoo, seen here on his left forearm. National Libertarian Party chairman Joe Bishop Henchman first posted it on his public Facebook page shortly after Burt’s victory over incumbent Democratic Rep. The photograph of Burt - in which he is sitting at a table with a smiling young supporter - initially appeared online last year. A number of militia groups and anti-government activists have adopted the symbol. The name comes from the debunked claim that only 3% of colonists fought against the British during the Revolutionary War but “achieved liberty for everybody,” according to a policy brief by the Anti-Defamation League. The tatoo’s symbol - which closely resembles a Betsy Ross flag - is associated with a loosely organized anti-government movement known as the Three Percenters, which has been growing in influence within American conservative politics. “I have never been a member of a militia group, and I think we have much bigger issues to address, like reducing wasteful spending and getting patients and veterans access to treatments, rather than to dwell on something as minor as a tattoo.” It's not over, it's only just begun.“I got the tattoo because the American Revolution symbolism appealed to me, and to me it represents my solid commitment to the Second and Tenth Amendment,” Burt wrote.

Every morning at 6am, we had a family huddle. In the seven years he was with me, he gave me one of the greatest gifts. Even in his absence he taught me so many lesson's.
