David Barton is the Founder of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that presents America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious and constitutional heritage.
WallBuilders is a name taken from the Old Testament writings of Nehemiah, who led a grassroots movement to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore its strength and honor. In the same way, WallBuilders seeks to energize today’s grassroots to become involved in strengthening their communities, states, and nation. David is the author of numerous best-selling books, with subjects drawn largely from his massive library of tens of thousands of original writings from the Founding Era. He also addresses well over 200 groups each year. His exhaustive research has rendered him an expert in historical and constitutional issues and he serves as a consultant to state and federal legislators, has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court, and has helped produce history textbooks now used in schools across the nation. A national news organization has described him as “America’s historian,” and Time Magazine called him “a hero to millions – including some powerful politicians.” Newsmax named him as one of America’s top 100 most influential evangelicals, and Time Magazine named him as one of America’s top 25. David and his wife Cheryl reside in Aledo, Texas. They have three grown, married children (Damaris, Timothy, and Stephen), and five grandchildren

Rob was the Mayor of the City of Thousand Oaks Ca and while serving on the City Council, he took on Governor Newsom and the County of Ventura during the lockdowns when the Governor declared the church to be nonessential. He disobeyed the unconstitutional order of the Governor ,and kept their church open. He was threatened with arrest and fined $3000 every time the doors of the church were opened to the public and as a result was found guilty of contempt twice and amassed total fines of over $300,000.

He refused to close and ultimately the county and the state lifted the fines and relented. He declared then and still does today that the church is essential and that God is greater than government.
