Off to C-PAC

We'll be waking up in the middle of the night to begin our trek. The SHU CR's are making their first (hopefully of many) trip to C-PAC tomorrow. It's a big step for us that certainly required more fund raising and planning than our trip to the state CR convention last Spring. But it will be worth it.

C-PAC stands for "Conservative Political Action Conference," the largest gathering of conservative minds in the country. Sponsored by the American Conservative Union, it's a three-day conference featuring panel discussions, training demonstrations, and speeches. The keynote speaker of the event will be Vice President Cheney, and almost every Republican '08 presidential candidate will be making an appearance at the event.

The event offers a great opportunity for us to advance in our conservative thought. It's not sponsored by the Republican party, but rather by conservatives and libertarians--organizations like the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, The Leadership Institute, and the Heritage Foundation will be there alongside a ton of other exhibitors. They will be holding training seminars and running a conservative job fair.

It's going to be a fantastic trip, and you can check back here for lots of blogging from the event. I can't speak for the rest of the kids coming, but I can assure you that I'll have my laptop on me everywhere I go.
