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, Santa Barbara, 93101. The schedule is below.
