Mr. Cristofaro will then share his story with us about the New London case and give us an update of what has happened since then.

Jim Gilchrist will be Saturday night's keynote speaker. His speech will be about “The  Minuteman Project”, which he founded on Oct. 1,  2004, after  years of frustrated efforts trying to get a  neglectful U.S  government to  simply enforce  existing immigration laws. He will speak after a buffet dinner, Saturday September 27 at 6:00 pm. Separate registration required.  

Robert Levy, Senior fellow in Constitutional Studies, CATO Institute. Mr. Levy will be speaking at our Sunday buffet breakfast on the topic of “Is the Supreme Court Eroding Our Liberty?” Mr. Levy will offer his analysis and be available afterward to sign copies of his new book, “The Dirty Dozen – How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom”
