From National Right to Life's Dave Andrusko regarding National Right to Life's annual three-day convention:
The convention, held this year in Nashville June 22-24, would be worth attending even if there were no general sessions. So much information is conveyed in such an accessible manner in the workshops that'd be reason enough to travel to the Volunteer State.But this year's convention is blessed with an especially impressive line up of general session and prayer breakfast speakers. Let's begin with Fred Barnes.
Many of you know him from his television work on Fox's "The Beltway Boys," his impressive coverage of politics at the Weekly Standard, and for his 2006 biography of President George W. Bush, "Rebel-in-Chief: Inside the Bold and Controversial Presidency of George W. Bush."Another author and political analyst convention goers will meet in person is Ramesh Ponnuru. A Senior Editor for National Review, Mr. Ponnuru is author of "The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life."
The list just keeps on getting better. NRLC 2006 will also feature author and actress Jennifer O'Neill, a national spokeswoman for Silent No More campaign. In 2003 she received NRLC's "Proudly Pro-Life Award."
A mentor for pro-life journalists, Paul Greenberg is the Pulitzer Prize winning editorial page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. His essays are stunning insightful and the model of intelligent discussion.
Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway is CEO and President of the polling company�, inc. She was recognized as the most accurate predictor of the 2004 elections and received The Washington Post's "Crystal Ball" award. Like Mr. Barnes, Mr. Ponnuru, Mr. Greenberg, and Ms. O'Neil. Mrs. Conway is published author.
Last, but by no means least, Erin Brady Worsham has inspired thousands by her profound witness to the value and dignity of every human life. Although Mrs. Worsham suffers the effects of ALS which have left her paralyzed and breathing with a ventilator, she creates powerfully beautiful illustrations using a computer program directed by her eyebrows.
Please, if you possible can, attend NRLC 2006 June 22-24. I can only hope this overview gives you some sense of just how wonderful this convention will be.
