LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Actor Chuck Norris plans to preside over a barbecue fundraiser at his Texas ranch for Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

Supporters who can't be at the event Sunday can follow it online by logging onto http://www.chuck4huckbbq.com/, following the special link to http://www.mikehuckabee.com/ and making a donation to the campaign.

Highlights of the event will be a performance by Huckabee's rock band, Capitol Offense, and a martial arts demonstration.

"Mike Huckabee is a gifted leader and a man of the people and he will change politics in this country," Norris said in statement. "Given his unprecedented success in this primary season, he already has. But the job is not finished by a long shot. He still needs our help as well as our vote. That's why I am calling upon my friends and people in my community to join me on Jan. 20 in support of 'The People's President' -- Mike Huckabee."

Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, said during a campaign stop in Michigan that he is "tremendously honored and grateful" for Norris' support.
