Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman, Jenny Beth Martin, released the following statement after hearing about the passing of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh: 

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rush Limbaugh. He was a legend in every sense of the word. He not only gave conservatives a powerful voice, he inspired and encouraged tens of millions of our fellow citizens to embrace ideas that allowed them to achieve the American Dream — in Ronald Reagan’s words, to become whatever God intended them to become. Rush helped change America for the better, and his legacy will long outlast those of his detractors. We thank him for his unmatched contribution to the country he dearly loved. He will truly be missed. We will remember him and his loved ones in our prayers.”
