American Dream Summit, Oct. 4-5 in D.C.

"You can't put a price tag on the American Dream. That Dream is the heart and soul of America; it's the promise that keeps our nation forever good and generous, a model and hope to the world."
President Ronald Reagan October 22, 1986

Remember the "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska? A $223 million pork-barrel earmark courtesy of Senator Ted Stevens to build a bridge to an island with 50 people. It was killed only after the outrage from grassroots activists like you and me.

By registering for the Defending the American Dream Summit on October 4-5th at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC, you can send a powerful message to the politicians, special interests, and the mainstream media that that there exists a national grassroots movement committed to protecting our economic freedom.

Presidential candidates Senator Fred Thompson, Governor Mitt Romney, Senator Sam Brownback, and Rep. Ron Paul will all speak at the Summit. They will join ABC 20/20's John Stossel, Senator Tom Coburn, Rep. Jeff Flake, best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza, Lt. Governor Michael Steele, economist Art Laffer, and many more of our nation's leading voices for freedom and limited government.To view our exciting agenda, please visit

The goal of the Summit is simple: send a clear message to Presidential candidates, Congress, government bureaucrats, and the national media that Americans have had enough of out-of-control spending and taxation, while giving you the tools, training, and inspiration to go back home and more effectively impact public policy at both the state and national level.

With over 1,000 people registered from 34 states, space is limited.

What truly sets the Summit apart is that we're bringing together the nation's leading grassroots experts to give you the tools to help you recruit, motivate, and develop even more grassroots leaders to carry on this important fight.

You will learn from national experts how to more effectively make your voice heard on Capitol Hill or in your state legislature, how to recruit additional grassroots activists at the local level, and how to organize your own grassroots Summit in your home state. The Summit promises to be a massive show of force for our shared beliefs -- and one you will not want to miss! All of these leaders are participating.Will you?
