I will be in Washington, DC next weekend to attend the Americans for Prosperity Defending the American Dream Summit.

As some of you remember, I got to speak at the Texas Defending the American Dream Summit this summer.  I also got to attend the DC Summit last year where I got to meet Dinesh D’Souza, Senator John McCain and many more, in good company of fellow YCT-ers Cassie Daniel and Randy and Michele Samuelson.

One would assume that a mayor of a city would have a lot of responsibilities that he would have to address on a daily basis, especially if you are the mayor of as large of city as (let’s say) Forth Worth. One would think that there are important issues a mayor would take priority in addressing, but would you ever imagine that one of those issues would be the fashion trend of baggy pants among our youth?

From the Daily Kansan:

It’s not the easiest gig at a university considered one of the most liberal in the Midwest. Still, last Thursday, members of Young Conservatives of KU stood a hundred yards east of Wescoe Beach, trying to interest passers-by in joining their ranks. Young men handed out American flag lapel ribbons and urged people to remember the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.

Check out our profile in this ABC News Campus piece written by Andrew Egan.

Deep in the heart of Texas, amid an ocean of red, is a single blue dot.

By far the most liberal city in a state long considered a conservative bastion, Austin has a history of activism. Thousands showed up to march for civil rights in the 1960s, and thousands marched for immigrant rights in 2006.

 

 

A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

September 11, 2001, was etched into America’s memory when 19 terrorists attacked us with barbarity unequaled in our history. On Patriot Day, we cherish the memory of the thousands of innocent victims lost, extend our thoughts and prayers to their families, and honor the heroic men and women who risked and sacrificed their lives so others might survive.
