Herman Cain to Headline YAF Conference

Published April 13, 2012 5:18pm ET



Don’t understand why Herman Cain decided to throw his support to Mitt Romney this week after endorsing Newt Gingrich? Ask him yourself this weekend at the Young America’s Foundation’s Freedom Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today and tomorrow.

This dramatic lineup of Cain, Human Events Editor-At-Large Jason Mattera and National Review Online Editor-At-Large Jonah Goldberg, in addition to many other impressive conservative speakers, is part of a series of conferences hosted by YAF across the nation.

At the Regional YAF conference in Raleigh, NC, in March, undercover investigative reporter Jason Mattera showed young conservatives how Hollywood stars lead hypocritical lives when it comes to their political convictions and their personal actions.

Dinesh D’Souza offered unique insight into the underlying reasons why President Barack Obama holds seemingly contradictory political positions.

YAF crowds are mainly made up of high school and college students but some young professionals also show up to challenge the rhetoric of conservative leaders and to get ideas about ways to defend their conservative positions.

At this small, exclusive event, young conservatives are able to personally meet and have important political conversations with many of the leaders in the conservative movement.
