Mitt Romney Headlines West Coast Leadership Conference

Tue Nov 10, 2009 1:36pm EST
Conservatives Resist Obama's Extreme Agenda  

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Young conservatives
from 12 states and 44 colleges and universities will gather near the Reagan
Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, for Young America's Foundation's West
Coast Leadership Conference on November 13 and 14. The impressive list of
speakers includes Mitt Romney, Congressman Joe Wilson, Victor Davis Hanson,
Andrew Breitbart, and Hannah Giles, the brave student activist who exposed
ACORN's corruption.

"Barack Obama is moving this country in a radical direction," says YAF
President Ron Robinson. "He's seizing entire sectors of the private industry
and encroaching on more of our individual liberties with each awful bill that
makes its way through Congress."

Robinson continued: "The West Coast Leadership Conference allows students to
hear from the best and brightest speakers in the Conservative Movement. We're
showing young people how to resist Obama's radicalism."

The conference will be held at the Reagan Ranch Center, 217 State Street,
