Cool. Congratulations, Intersting Times! May you live in them. (Ha ha -- bet you never heard that joke before.)

Ok, everyone, forgive my ignorance, but what's the ACU? (I'm a bit of a newbie.) Is that like the ACLU but without the "liberal"? We need one of those. The liberals are always threatening to sue. Like our DC Chapter rally last weekend had these guys in green hats that were supposed to be legal observers, but they were leading leftists protestors into our permitted space!! They were actually breaking the law!!! Not the sort of thing the ACLU will ever care about. In terms of support for front-line action, I often wonder, whether there are conservative law firms or lawyers that would help when *our* civil rights were violated.

OK, while I'm asking stupid questions: when and where is CPAC?

Ok, everyone, forgive my ignorance, but what's the ACU?

The ACU is the American Conservative Union HERE.

CPAC, Conservative Political Action Conference is organized by the ACU. CPAC WEBSITE

Every year FR has a booth at CPAC and this year will be no different. Take a look at the CPAC website and see if you are interested in attending, if you are in the DC area already, you should go! It is an fantastic time. In about two weeks, we will be promoting CPAC on the website here, with more information about it and we will probably hold a contest to give away two platinum packages to the conference.

I see those "legal" reperesentatives at the LA freeps as well...strange stuff.
