Virginia Senator George Allen, a leading contender for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, will be the keynote speaker at North CarolinaÂ’s first-ever Conservative Leadership Conference April 7-8 in Durham. Arizona Congressman J.D. Hayworth, North Carolina Congresswomen Virginia Foxx and Sue Myrick, and American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene will join Senator Allen as speakers during the conference.
“We are very excited to have Senator George Allen and such an outstanding lineup of conservative leaders to speak at our conference,” said Civitas President Jack Hawke. “They all have solid conservative credentials and years of solid experience. I’m confident they will help us jumpstart the conservative movement in North Carolina, which is one of our goals for this conference. We want to being together some of the best and brightest conservatives minds in North Carolina and America to share with other conservatives the knowledge that conservatism works; that it is the best way for people to be governed with personal freedom and opportunities.”
I find it particularly ironic that they're holding this conference in Durham. Durham is about the most socialist, uber-liberal city in the entire state. I break the law every time I enter the city limits there -- and I'm probably breaking more that I don't even know about.
But hey, laws are made to be broken, right? Well, I'll tell anyone who asks that I'm a Democrat, and then it will be okay.
Seriously, though, the Ogre WILL be at this conference -- in the press area, representing this blog. If you can't make it, be sure and check by here, as there should be lots of live blogging going on -- I'm still trying to decide on the format.
