HERNDON, VA – Young America’s Foundation is holding a Freedom Conference (#FreedomCon) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on April 13 and 14, at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center Hotel. This conference will be the second in a series of nationwide student conferences aimed at energizing young conservatives.

In Milwaukee, scores of students from across the country will hear from leading national speakers including:
 Herman Cain, Former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza
 Senator Ron Johnson, United States Senator from Wisconsin
 Jonah Goldberg, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Liberal Fascism.
 Jason Mattera, Editor-at-Large of Human Events and New York Times best-selling author of Obama Zombies and Hollywood Hypocrites
 Charlie Sykes, Host of Midday with Charlie Sykes (AM620 WTMJ) and television commentator
 Ron Robinson, Young America’s Foundation president and coauthor of Funding Fathers
 Kate Obenshain, Young America’s Foundation vice president and Fox News commentator.

These speakers will contrast the virtues of the free enterprise system versus the vices of the job-killing, corrupt policies of the Obama administration.

Herman Cain will kick off the conference at the opening banquet on Friday night with an inspiring speech on conservative solutions. Jonah Goldberg will open the Saturday sessions and has a new book due May 1, The Tyranny of Clichés. Senator Ron Johnson—a rising star in the Conservative Movement—will speak on the economy and the failures of government overspending. Jason Mattera will present the surprising findings his new best-seller, Hollywood Hypocrites.

#FreedomCon will have lasting impact when these young participants take the conference’s pro-freedom message back to their schools. Young America’s Foundation is dedicated to advancing conservatism through campus lectures, activism events, and informative literature. By the end of each Freedom Conference, students will know how to effectively use all three.

Ron Robinson, president of Young America’s Foundation, said, “This conference will give students the tools they need to positively promote their ideas. These conferences are about much more than criticizing the Left and their policies—they’re about educating young people about the moral virtue of America’s free enterprise system.”

Conference attendees will also get a sneak peak of Young America’s Foundation new film, The Conservatives—featuring Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Monica Crowley, Stephen Moore, Peter Schweizer, Jonah Goldberg, and Walter Williams.
