Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo Returns to CPAC

ALEXANDRIA, VA—The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) announced today that Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo will address the nation’s oldest and largest gathering of conservatives on Friday, March 2, 2007 in the Omni Shoreham Hotel’s Regency Ballroom in Washington D.C.

"Few Members of Congress consistently display the brand of conservative leadership Tom Tancredo exhibits," said J. William Lauderback, Executive Vice President of the American Conservative Union (ACU), CPAC’s lead sponsor. "He is a man of principle, honesty, and distinct courage.  While Tom’s Lifetime ACU Rating of 99 makes him an obvious friend of ACU and CPAC, it is his willingness to stand up and fight for what he believes in that makes him a hero to so many of our 5,000 grassroots activists. We look forward to hearing his views on the state of the border enforcement debate in Congress and other important issues of our day," 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
