Wisconsin Conservatives to gather in Dells for AFP's Defending American Dream Summit

Posted by Kyle Prast on March 10, 2010 | 22 comments

Conservatives, Global Warming/Climate Change, Government / Bureaucracy, Special events, United States, WISCONSIN

There is still time to register and attend the Americans for Prosperity 3rd Annual Defending the American Dream Summit this weekend, March 12th and 13th. The event runs 2 days at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The event begins on Friday with registration and a reception. The speakers and seminars begin at 9:30am on Saturday and continue until 7pm, and then there is an After the Tea Party Party in the evening.

Some of the speakers include: Lord Christopher Monckton, former adviser to Margaret Thatcher (he gave that compelling speech warning of the US ceding our rights if we entered into the Copenhagen treaty last Oct.) , Grover Norquist - Americans for Tax Reform, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner, Representatives Leah Vukmir and Jim Ott, Niger Innnis-Congress of Racial Equality, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, Vicki McKenna, Michael Reagan, and Fred Kelly Grant of Stewards of the Range - land use rights.

Issues include Global Warming-Climate Change-Economic Suicide, Net Neutrality, Hands Off My Health Care, Voter Fraud, and Property Rights and Coordination, and more.

I attended this event last year and found it very worthwhile. In looking at the speaker lineup, I see some of last year's speakers will be there again. Of particular interest is Fred Kelly Grant of Stewards of the Range. Last year he told how a community stopped the NAFTA highway at the very local level by using land rights law. This process might apply to High Speed Train right of way too. I don't know if it would be of any help with the recent 10 million acre land and ocean/lake waters grab, via Executive Order, from the Obama Administration, but you could ask Fred.

If you are interested in the Conservative perspective on local and national issues, I urge you to attend. The cost is $39.99 for adults and $24.99 for students. Register here

    If God is so fed up with the ways of the world, why don't we have another great flood? (Or locusts, or other worldwide plagues...) Oh that's right, he said there would be no more. Any whattya know? He was right.

    Why does God allow abortion? Why does God abort millions of fetuses every year?

    Another frozen pizza? Good one :)

    Let us all ask ourselves, WWFSMD?

    Just in case anyone is interested in a serious comment, AFP appeals to "Patriotic/Free-Market/ Conservative/Libertarian/Constitutionalist" type people and yes, some Republicans.

    Don't worry about the "babysitter" wanting smaller government. We now have a babysitter who has promised to "fundamentally change" our government. Judging from all the avowed Communists, Socialists and Maoists in his administration, it is clear what he wants to do to America. He has taken over banks, lenders, real estate, auto makers, unions (or they have taken him over) and he keeps trying to take over our healthcare. We found someone who hates America to do the babysitting.

    Well Had To, I do believe we have essentially reached consensus on one issue at last.

    Listen Tarz, you want everything to swing in unison while you're on that vine, watch out for us little men. Ms. Elf takes very good care of her Elfie boy.

    Tarzan not gay.

    Tarzan wonder about Elf who live with big group of little men with old fat man at North Pole. This none of Tarzan's business.

    Tarzan say live and let live.

    Tarzan tell Mortified Tarzan not worried about lecture from Leah Vukmir.

    Tarzan smooth things with banana daiquiri.

    It's true that abortion needs to be regulated and discouraged but it's also true that making it illegal results in another set of horrors. There will never be a good answer to this problem but I know banning it outright is not the way to go either. That's been done...it's probably even more horrible for the babies that are aborted illegally when it was illegal. Life is precious and that has to be taken into consideration, but there are to many circumstances and view points to deal with so simply saying...it should be illegal....is kind of short sighted...in my opinion.
