PHILADELPHIA, July 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former U.S. Senator, and possible presidential candidate, Fred Thompson and Gov. Mike Huckabee will speak before an audience of nearly 2,000 state legislators and business leaders at the American Legislative Exchange Council's National Forum luncheon at ALEC's 34th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia on Friday, July 27.
This event is just part of ALEC's annual meeting held July 24 to 29 at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown at 1201 Market Street. Other speakers will include Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, The Honorable Dick Armey, The Honorable Billy Tauzin, Neil Cavuto of FOX News, John Fund of OpinionJournal.com, Miss America, Lauren Nelson, and many others.
"ALEC's Democrat and Republican members participate in substantive public policy sessions throughout the Annual Meeting, and legislators return to their state capitols better prepared to serve their constituents," said Iowa State Representative Dolores Mertz, ALEC's 2007 National Chairman.
The special workshops featured at this meeting will cover energy, health care, education and technology issues.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is dedicated to developing model policies based on the Jeffersonian principles of free markets, limited government, federalism, and individual liberty. ALEC is the nation's largest nonpartisan, individual membership organization of state legislators, with over 2,400 legislator members from all fifty states, and 87 former members serving in the U.S. Congress. http://www.alec.org

Fred - a featured speaker wanna bet all the 'declared' candidates aren't grinding their teeth.
They are attending an event at the Marriott huh? I hear the Marriott is a great hotel. Top notch board of directors if you ask me.

LOL! And now that Lawrence Small has resigned in disgrace over his mismanagement of the Smithsonian Institution (you know it's bad when the Senate takes action before the board of directors!), he should have more time to focus on his Marriott position. :-)
I work here, and actually the President of the United States is coming... and it is a beautiful hotel
