Rally for the Republic speaker and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson will be joining C4L at CPAC 2010 for a Friday night (Feb. 19) event titled “Our American Dream.” Governor Johnson has been making quite a few appearances on the east coast recently, and we’re excited to have him at CPAC, where he’ll talk about his principles of good government and his experience with putting principle before power.
Also joining us on Friday night will be Tim Carney, reporter and author of Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses. Carney’s book exposes the corporatism championed by both parties, and it features a foreword by Congressman Paul. Tim will also stop by our booth at 3 pm on Friday for an Obamanomics book signing.
In addition to these two great speakers for the Friday night event, Sirius radio host and the man behind The Spirit of ’76, Mike Church, will be joining us as the emcee! Listen to Ron Paul’s recent interview on The Mike Church Show here.
A private briefing with Governor Johnson will start at 6:15 on that Friday.
Here’s our promotional information for the event:
Gary Johnson served as the Governor of New Mexico from January 1995 to December 2002, serving two terms in a state dominated two to one by Democrats.
Under Governor Johnson’s administration, New Mexico experienced the longest period without a tax increase in the state’s history. The rate of growth in the state government was cut in half.
Half of the state’s prisons were privatized. State Medicaid was shifted to managed care, and the state was left with approximately one thousand fewer employees (with no firings) and a budget surplus. He also vetoed more than 750 bills.
Gary Johnson’s speech will take place in the Thurgood Marshall Ballroom South/West on Friday, February 19 at 8:30 p.m.. A question and answer time will follow Gov. Johnson’s presentation.
