She appears in Michael Moore’s movie “Sicko” and has participated in prominent debates and public forums, testified before five committees of the California and Oregon legislatures, appeared on popular television programs on Fox News, CNN and NBC, participated in talk radio shows nationwide, and has written numerous opinion pieces in publications around the world, such as The Wall Street Journal,Washington Post, Financial Times of London and Investor’s Business Daily.

The Reagan Ranch Roundtable is typically held on the third Friday of each month at the Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara. Designed especially for the Santa Barbara community, the luncheons advance the principles that Ronald Reagan championed—individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values. Santa Barbara community members and students gather to hear from speakers such as Jonah Goldberg, Dennis Prager, and Ken Starr, MichelleMalkin, and John Stossel.
