Dear Friend,

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, (HJTA) has some exciting news to share with you!

The Western Conservative Political Action Conference, (WCPAC) with President Jon Coupal will host a dinner opening night of the conference, featuring a speech on fiscal responsibility from conservative leader and champion of taxpayer’s rights, Minnesota Governor TIM PAWLENTY.

A likely contender for president in 2012, Gov. Pawlenty will appear at WCPAC to talk about conservative values and what it takes to maintain government accountability. President Obama will have his work cut out for him with this Republican! Our country has a lot to look forward to with a leader who will commit to protecting and preserving fundamental rights and individual freedoms, which this nation was founded upon.

WCPAC will be held at the Radisson Newport Beach on Oct. 16 and 17 this year. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a host of political leaders including Wall Street Journal Political Reporter and Columnist, John Fund, Founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Ralph Reed, Jr., Congressman Ed Royce,(CA-40), and California Insurance Commissioner and Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Poizner.

Sign up NOW to reserve your spot at WCPAC today!
