CPAC Needs Moral Leadership

CPAC Needs Moral Leadership

Just as a drop of poison can spoil a crystalline glass of water, a measure of compromise on non-negotiable principles might destroy the meaning of “conservative” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the largest annual gathering of its kind.

This year a pro-homosexual group called GOProud was allowed to co-sponsor the event, prompting a boycott by several prominent conservative groups. Not surprisingly, the liberal media gave GOProud ample coverage.

The American TFP decided to attend the event with a specific message to CPAC leaders and attendees: Don’t Betray Principles. During the February 10-12 conference, TFP Student Action volunteers manned a well-visited booth and distributed thousands of leaflets urging CPAC participants to defend objective moral law and oppose the homosexual movement.

As young Americans, TFP Student Action members call upon CPAC participants
to help save the future of our conservative movement by insisting that these
departures from objective moral law stop.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), held this year on February 18-20 in Washington D.C. is the largest annual conservative conference in the United States, with no fewer than 10,000 intellectuals, politicians, organizations, students and activists in attendance.

It is a window into the heart and soul of the American conservative movement. The issues that are discussed, the speeches that are delivered, the flyers that are distributed, the debates that are held; all hold significant sway over the general direction of the conservative movement and therefore America as a whole.
