This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is being held this week and once again my organization, Citizens United, the nation’s premier conservative filmmaker, will be hosting the CPAC Theater and Film Festival throughout the weekend.
We will be kicking things off on Thursday with an event featuring Dr. Ben Carson, giving activists both a chance to hear from Dr. Carson about his vision for the country and a chance to meet him as well. Later that day we will be showing our film Rocky Mountain Heist, with a live introduction from film host Michelle Malkin.
On Friday we will host a meet and greet with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Attendees will be able to hear from the Governor and have a chance to meet with him too. Following that event, we will be hosting Mr. Donald Trump who will discuss his views on the Obama Administration and meet with attendees.
Our premier event will be in the main CPAC ballroom, and I couldn’t be more excited as we join with Breitbart News to present the Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award to Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty. This particular event will be one of the most-talked about of the conference and we hope you will attend if you are at the conference, or tune in to a livestream or on television if you are at home!
Many of our films will also be featuring live introductions to some of our groundbreaking films by Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista, as well as Senator Rick Santorum.
Our mission is simple: the leaders of this country must listen to conservatives and enact conservative legislation. For the past six years, liberals have run this country into the ground with their failed policies.
Enough is enough.
We, as a nation, need to return to the policies of the free market, economic trade, family values, peace through strength and national security. We know it works, and that Americans thrive when they are implemented. The Conservative Political Action Conference is a time where the leaders of the conservative movement and all of Washington takes note of what conservatives envision for America, and I am honored to take part in this event every year.
Here is your CPAC news items of the week:
TODD AKIN and RICHARD MOURDOCK – both re-considering runs for United States Senate
Politico, February 26, 2015
Todd Akin — yes, that Todd Akin — is hinting at making a comeback by running again for Senate.
“I have not ruled anything out,†the former Missouri representative told The Hill in an interview. He added that there is a “high level of dissatisfaction among conservatives†who feel like they’re being edged out of the Republican Party.
“The sentiment is there,†Akin said. “The Tea Party is skeptical and wants some fresh blood, not just the same establishment guys.â€
“If it is a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,†Akin said in 2012 when asked about his stance on abortions for victims of sexual assault. His remarks proved fatal to his candidacy and along with Indiana’s RICHARD MOURDOCK, lost the Republican Party two important Senate seats that were clearly in the hands of the GOP.
Instead, the Tea Party and the two (big time Tea-Party-crazy-loser) candidates were both responsible for handing two practically guaranteed Republican Senate seats to the Democratic Party.

AT CPAC THIS WEEK — Donald Trump (yes, Donald Trump for President of the United States, go figure), Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, and led by the quintessential proud icon of the Tea Party, the hayseed Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty (you know you are surrounded by total whacko paranoid bunker people when your role model is the Duck Dynasty guy).
At CPAC, with nearly two dozen possible presidential candidates, the Tea Party is saddled with fools. There can’t possibly be that many people who are real candidates. This is the way to win the White House…ride in the clown car from event to event.
Good post, CCO. Enjoy CPAC this week fellas.
Shem, Trump might not be a bad idea. He brought his company out of bankruptcy. He could do the same for our country.
4:55 am…….? Have you considered therapy?
PAK…After years of getting up early for work, I still get up early (and go into work where I still have an office). Old habits.
Everybody’s mornings are different. I would get up around 3:45 and leave for work by 5:45. Spend 30 minutes at the office/shop, and be at the job site ready for work at 7:00. Maybe not all of us has a 9:00 to 5:00 job!
Those people don’t sound much like real Republicans. They’re the Tea Party, and they sound dangerous to me. I wonder where they find all of these people that believe they’re qualified to run the country. They love equality, as long as they are more equal.
We are all for equality of opportunity which definition precludes affirmative action.
D-T – you are pure Palin. Ready, FIRE, then aim. Every time. Target hit – nowhere. I’m not aware of anyone discussing affirmative action D.
D-T: They have changed their tactics and nowadays what they want is “equality of outcome”. Other words that come to mind are: transfer of wealth, reparations, getting paid.

If it is fear you feel wino, then might I suggest you examine the basis for your fear. When others are given license to control your emotions it speaks to a severe case of an “External Locus of Control”.
Problem being, if you develop an “Internal Locus of Control”, you will no longer be a fear driven twit.
Me thinks, your grasp is extremely tight on your ideology and loosening your grip on that skirt might garner you a degree of self confidence and self determination you couldn’t handle.
You best grab on to that skirt with both hands.
Oh…you jest wrongly Luther! WINO expressed no fear. (You did, which is telling.) Wino made an observation about dangerous people. That’s smart and wise.
Wino, The people of Wisconsin really like Gov. Walker. They elected him 3 times in 4 years or something like that.

Yeah, those people wanting less taxes and exercising their constitutional rights are scary.
