Michele Bachmann
WASHINGTON, D.C.–Former Presidential candidates U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain will both be featured speakers at The American Conservative Union’s CPAC 2012 – the 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
More than 3,000 conservative leaders and activists are expected to attend the conference which will be held February 9 to February 11 in Washington, DC.
“We are proud to welcome Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain to CPAC 2012 next month in our Nation’s Capital. Congresswoman Bachmann is one of the House Chamber’s fiercest advocates for constitutional conservatism, and Herman Cain remains a favorite among many of our supporters across the country. Both are great additions to our exciting CPAC agenda,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “In less than one month, the American Conservative Union looks forward to hosting 2012’s premier venue for highlighting and advancing conservative leaders, principles and polices.”
Every year, the ACU brings thousands of grassroots conservatives and conservative leaders together in Washington, DC for three days of blockbuster speeches, policy discussions and networking opportunities – all celebrating the shared principles of smaller government, a strong national defense and traditional values. Based on this year’s theme, “We STILL Hold These Truths”, CPAC 2012
