Excerpt:

This year in particular, with the presidential election getting closer by the day, there’s a feeling of unity among conservatives. Ron Meyer, a spokesman for Young America’s Foundation, cites the disappointment many young people feel with the Obama administration as a key source of motivation for those attending the conference. 

“Young people are feeling the heat,” he says. “They’re disappointed that the promises from the president haven’t panned [out].”

Meyer sees CPAC as an opportunity to get them more involved.

“It’s a chance to get young people energized … to give them the intellectual firepower,” he says.
