For years, Chris Widener has been considered one of the top speakers in the world. He is a member of the Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame. He has written 22 books that have been translated into 14 languages. He has spoken over 2500 times all over the world.

He has also been very involved in politics. Starting with listening to Rush Limbaugh in 1988 when he was living in New Jersey and Rush just starting on WABC in New York City, through 2004 when his closest friend ran for governor of Washington state and had that election stolen from him, to running himself for the United States Senate in 2010, to building out a 1 million person Facebook page called Positively Republican, to becoming the President of the American Freedom Tour, Chris Widener has been involved in politics for over 30 years. While he has always been open about his political persuasion, he’s never made it a big part of his public speaking, instead focusing on motivation and business.

Today, that all changed. He went public to his nearly 200,000 fans on Facebook to let them know that he was all in for freedom (to follow Chris on Facebook, click here). Check out the video below and be sure to follow Chris! You can follow him on Twitter here.
