Cain, Cawley, McElhinney to Address 2012 PA Leadership Conference Join Brit Hume, Pat Toomey, Grover Norquist & John Gizzi as featured speakers

A Press release from Lowman S. Henry Regarding the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference:

Harrisburg, PA -- Former Presidential candidate Herman Cain, Pennsylvania Lt. Governor James Cawley, and film producer Ann McElhinney will join the line-up of featured speakers at the 2012 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference to be held March 23-24 at the Radisson Penn Harris Convention Center in Camp Hill (Harrisburg), Pennsylvania.

Herman Cain has launched the Cain Solutions Revolution in which his mission is exactly the same as that which drove his presidential campaign. That is to empower the American people to demand and drive solutions to the problems that threaten America's future. The Cain Solutions Revolution is focusing on reform of the federal tax code, energy independence, monetary reform, regulatory reform and peace through strength and clarity.

Jim Cawley serves as the 32nd Lt. Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Since his election in 2010, Lt. Governor Cawley has taken on a workload and a higher profile than most lieutenant governors in recent history. Last year, Governor Corbett set up the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission and appointed Lt. Governor Cawley to lead the panel with the mission to develop a plan for the responsible development of natural gas in Pennsylvania. The Governor also asked Lt. Governor Cawley to head up the effort to help Pennsylvanians recover from the flood waters caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.

Ann McElhinney is an Irish journalist and documentary film maker. Her work examining the real life costs of environmental policies has outraged many in the environmentalist movement. In 2009, she produced and directed Not Evil Just Wrong, a film which critiqued concerns about global warming. Previously, she produced and directed Mine Your Own Business (2006) - the first documentary that asks difficult questions of the environmental movement. Her upcoming film is FrackNation, a film that will look behind the exaggerations and tell the truth about fracking.

These speakers are just the latest additions to a growing program of activities planned for the 2012 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference. The premier annual gathering of conservatives each year in Pennsylvania will also feature a keynote speech by Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume. Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform and Human Events White House correspondent and political editor John Gizzi have also been announced as speakers. Candidates for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator will debate at the conference luncheon on Saturday, March 24th.

Four interactive panel presentations will constitute the policy core of the conference with topics set to include: Right-Sizing State Government; Marcellus: How Shale We Proceed; Obama's Regulatory Overkill; and Reagan-izing the PA GOP. The Constitution Organization of Liberty (COOL) will present a pre-conference seminar on the Bill of Rights. Also scheduled for Friday morning, March 23rd, is an activist training workshop conducted by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation and the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.

The Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council will be sending their "Values Bus," to promote voter registration efforts.
