Mastering Conservative Rhetoric in the Battle of Ideas

Do you have what it takes to be the next Great Communicator?   President Ronald Reagan was a skillful debater and used classic American rhetoric to advance his ideas and inspire the American people.  Conservative leaders since him have often struggled to articulate and effectively advocate those ideas.  Obama, on the other hand, has used effective oratory skills to advance his agenda and entice the American public with his vision of big government.

Young America’s Foundation invites full-time college students and young professionals to attend the Mastering Conservative Rhetoric in the Battle of Ideas seminar at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, from February 7 to 9.  This program seeks to train rising young leaders to master the use of rhetoric to advance conservative principles, especially in communicating the moral case for free enterprise.

• Wynton Hall; celebrity ghostwriter, rhetoric expert, and Foundation director
• Marc Thiessen;  author, columnist, and presidential speechwriter to President George W. Bush
