CPAC’s 5,000 Grassroots Activists Eager to Hear More from

Congressman Duncan Hunter

ALEXANDRIA, VA—The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) announced today that California Congressman Duncan Hunter will address the nation’s oldest and largest gathering of conservatives on Friday, March 2, 2007 at 8:30 a.m. in the Omni Shoreham Hotel’s Regency Ballroom in Washington D.C.

“ For more than a quarter of a century, Congressman Duncan Hunter has been a strong and reliable voice in the U.S. House for conservatives, fighting the good fight to keep our military up to speed, up to date, and up to the dangerous tasks our nation asks of them,” said J. William Lauderback, Executive Vice President of the American Conservative Union (ACU), CPAC’s lead sponsor. “What some conservatives may not know is that also during that quarter century Congressman Hunter has proved himself as a Member of solid conservative credentials on a host of other issues important to conservatives, as reflected by his ACU Lifetime Rating of 92. We look forward to hearing from our friend and ally,” concluded Lauderback.

Lisa De Pasquale, CPAC Director added that, “In addition to speeches and debates, CPAC features a Radio Row for syndicated and local talk radio shows, exhibitor booths for organizations and campaigns to recruit members and exchange ideas, a job fair and activist training opportunities. At the end of the conference the results of a straw poll will be announced indicating the conservatives’ choice for president in 2008,” concluded De Pasquale.

CPAC is a project of the American Conservative Union Foundation, in association with Young America's Foundation and Human Events. The conference is co-sponsored by over 70 of the nation's leading conservative organizations. For continued updates on the program or to register online, visit www.cpac.org
