Bring a Conservative To Your Campus - Michelle Easton

From this afternoon’s Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Emphasis is mine:

“If you’d like to bring Kate [Obenshain] and Star [Parker] and many of the other great women in the movement to your campus, I hope you’ll come to our website, cblpi.org. Those of you in the room and those watching on C-SPAN. We’d love to help you bring a conservative woman’s voice to your campus. Sometimes the woman speaker you bring is the only conservative voice that will be heard on your college in the four years that you’re there. Think about that. Think about the difference you could make in the lives of the students who hear it.” 

-Michelle Easton, Clare Boothe Luce President

“When you have to pass a law to tax somebody a tax they’re not paying, to me it seems as though that’s a new tax. Is it a fair tax? That’s where the subjectivity comes.” - Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-California, 24th District

“Are all businesses going to flee to states with no internet tax?”
