Next month, Family Research Council Action will be hosting The Washington Briefing, one of the premier annual events for social conservatives.
This year my friends at Americans United for Life are joining FRC Blog in sponsoring several events for bloggers, including the New Media Row and a panel discussion on Politics and Blogging. Some of the bloggers that will be attending include: Erick Erickson (RedState), Amy Hall and Melinda Penner (Stand to Reason), Nathan Bradfield (Church and State), Soren Dayton (eyeon08.com), David All (TechPresident), Marc Ambinder (The Atlantic) and Andrew Sullivan (The Atlantic).
After I ran out of free passes to give away, I convinced FRC that if they reduced the registration fee, more bloggers would come (or at least help promote the event). The cost for the conference is normally $95 but with this promotional code (PNCH4CRD) bloggers (and blog readers) can get the reduced rate of $50. (The registration page can be found here)
All of the GOP Presidential nominees are expected to attend (sadly, none of the Democrats accepted the invitation). There will also be a number of other interesting speakers, including Chuck Colson, Bill Bennett, and Ben Stein. We're working on making this a great event for politically-inclined bloggers so if you're within driving distance of Washington, D.C. I highly encourage you to come out.
Joe,
Does the coupon expire? I need to clear this with my wife....
Matt Does the coupon expire? I need to clear this with my wife....
No, it should be good up until a week before the event. But the student rate is always $50 so you could always use that one too.
If only I were still a student...... : )
This is a great event put out by FRC. We need more events like this.
I also enjoyed the Values Voter Debate and found it curious that it was not highlighted on this blog, given that it was a very important debate for social conservatives. Mike Huckabee won over the delegates in a landslide, getting 5 times as many votes as the 2nd highest candidate (Ron Paul). His win will reverberate throughout evangelical circles. I really think Mike Huckabee will consolidate the evangelical base, given that James Dobson has refused to support Fred Thompson:

Even Rudy?
Even Rudy?
To our surprise, Rudy is indeed expected to attend.

WOW!!! This is a must see event. For people who cannot attend in person, is there a possibility for a live webcast?
Impressive website and list of speakers.
As this is a moral values and Christian type of meeting how come there doesn't appear to be any discussions of the growing income inequality in our country?
I'm already going to be in DC for the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities annual conference. Now, how am I going to balance the two?
I guess I'll finally find out whether I'm more of a bioethics groupie or a political junky.
Thanks for the discount info!
