This annual event is something I would encourage anyone to attend to get a boost about the vitality, depth and strong principles of the American social conservative movement. Sure, there has also been a lot of talk about economics, the military and Israel at this conference, but it is all woven around a genuine, deep and often stated love of God and understanding of the great need to protect human life and the family. There have been many moving statements and personal witnesses today from individuals who have fought against the culture with courage and self sacrifice. The morning sessions with Senator Rand Paul, Actor Kirk Cameron, Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Former Reagan assistant Bill Bennett, VP candidate Paul Ryan and others were impressive. Bennett’s introduction of his former aid Paul Ryan was a class act full of self deprecating humour and touching remembrances of the new rising star, that at one point caused Bennett to briefly choke up when stating that Ryan has not at all changed from the sincere young man who worked for him some years ago. It’s great to be here. These types of conferences we consider a must to attend and report for our LifeSiteNews readers. They give evidence that there is strong cause for hope because of the goodness and strong determination among notable forces that love life, the family and God, without whom these leaders emphasize we cannot win any of the battles ahead of us.
