Description
"John Strand had the whole government thrown against him."
-Charlie Kirk
January 6, 2021 remains a political battlefield-an event buried beneath weaponized propaganda and government cover-ups. Caught in the crossfire was John Strand, a Hollywood actor turned civil rights advocate, who walked into the Capitol as a licensed security guard at a permitted rally ... and walked out branded an insurrectionist.
The FBI then placed him on a "Most Wanted" poster, and a SWAT team's battering ram shattered his front door-and the life he thought he knew.
Patriot Plea was written in prison-and it's the story of a man who refused to break. The media mocked him as "MAGA Zoolander." The DOJ tried to crush him. Instead, he became a symbol of defiance, now known as The Maverick Conservative, stepping forward as a candidate for Congress.
This is the firsthand account of a political hostage who paid the price for telling the truth-and discovered the secret to the world's greatest treasure.

Reviews / Votes
"John Strand had the whole government thrown against him."-Charlie Kirk
"Patriot Plea is a masterclass in courage under fire. John Strand turns his persecution into a devastating indictment of the political class that tried-and failed-to destroy him. It's vivid, fearless, and impossible for any honest reader to dismiss."
-Roger Stone, Political Strategist, Author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy
"Patriot Plea is much more than a personal story. It is an account of what is happening to a nation divorcing itself from God and the Judeo-Christian values that made it great. John Strand's story persuasively demonstrates that freedom rests on biblical foundations, that good and evil are objective realities, that standards are indispensable to civilization, and that America's future depends on citizens who understand these truths-and act on them."
-Dennis Prager, National Radio Host, Author, Co-Founder of PragerU
"Actors who've spent years in Hollywood know the cost of truth in a culture built on lies. John Strand didn't flinch-he stood his ground and paid it in full. Patriot Plea is a powerful story of faith, courage, and the fight to stay free when the world turns against you."
-Kevin Sorbo, Actor, Director, Producer
"This book is profoundly important. John Strand's experience is a personal revelation of how certain politicians chose to abandon our justice system's guarantee of due process-AND it is a powerful testimony to the courage of conviction. In the spirit of our Founders, John Strand stood for truth regardless of the cost. Patriot Plea is a wake-up call to every American who cherishes liberty, and a roadmap for how you and I must respond."
-The Honorable Bob McEwen, U.S. House of Representatives (Fmr. Member, Ohio)
"Courage begins at home, where truth is taught and faith is lived. John Strand's story proves that homeschooling is a singular catalyst for instilling virtue and patriotism. Patriot Plea is inspiring, convicting, and beautifully real."
-Sam Sorbo, Actress, Author, Education Advocate

John Strand is an actor-and not just the Hollywood kind. This Maverick artist faced a defining choice in 2020, when his stand against tyranny transformed him into a civil rights actor and the Creative Director of America's Frontline Doctors. He later joined the founder for a speaking engagement in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021-where he was entrapped by a ruthless partisan operation, becoming a political prisoner in the Divided States of America.
Enduring years of persecution, a rigged trial, and a nearly three-year prison sentence, John Strand was offered a "golden parachute" plea deal by the Trump-targeting DOJ: a single misdemeanor. He refused-because it was a lie and a weapon against the innocent. Instead, he faced a 20-year felony and the full weight of weaponized corruption. As a political hostage, he suffered shocking abuse-yet emerged unbroken, with this defiant plea of his own: a call to patriots awakening to the Red Pill Revolution.
