SUMMARY:NOW CANCELLED: Virginia Tea Party Winter Summit
DESCRIPTION:NOW CANCELLED –  Dec 1st VATP SUMMIT\n\nAs the Virginia Tea Party ushers in the close of the year\, we have a lot to look back on and celebrate. Thanks to supporters like you\, our organization is stronger than ever. We held several successful conferences\, and played a key role in facilitating thoughtful debate among Virginia’s conservative activists as they nominated candidates for public office across Virginia. \nOur December 1st conference\, coinciding with our annual meeting\, was planned to be the latest in our string of successes. We put together a compelling program with issue leaders from all over America\, and looked forward to seeing you on Saturday. \n\nHowever\, I am writing to let you know that at this time\, the conference has been cancelled.\n\nWith each conference\, we strive to achieve two goals: (1) develop an excellent educational program; and (2) facilitate networking and collaboration between the activists and organizations of Virginia’s conservative movement. \nAs frustrating as I know this is for you (and for all of us)\, due to factors outside of our control\, we simply could not guarantee the experience that we strive to provide to our members and attendees. Accordingly\, a full refund will be issued to all those who have purchased tickets. \nWe have an excellent group of new officers nominated to lead our organization\, and I have no doubt that they will do an excellent job building the organization in the new year. Many exciting plans are already in the works\, and we look forward to updating you with more information shortly. \nHave a Merry Christmas\, and a very Happy New Year. \n\nSincerely\,\nRick Buchanan \nVATP Chairman \nAgenda \n\n\n\n\nTime\nSession\n\n\n\n\n10:00\nCall to order – Pledge of Allegiance / Prayer\n\n\n10:05\nOpening remarks\n\n\n10:10\nMorning Session\n\n\n12:00\nLunch\n\n\n1:00\nAfternoon Session\n\n\n3:00\nBusiness Meeting \n– Election of officers \n– Other business items as required\n\n\n4:00\nEvent Close\n\n\n\n\nSpeakersJEFF THOMAS\nVirginia Politics and Government in A New Century: THE PRICE OF POWER \n“In Virginia Politics and Government in A New Century: THE PRICE OF POWER Jeff Thomas demolishes the state’s conceits that it operates by the honorable principles of gentlemanly cavaliers [known as ‘the Virginia way’]. As his richly reported work reveals\, the state is run entirely opposite to the Jeffersonian values it pretends to embrace.” \n-Peter Galuszka\, reporter at Style weekly \nDAVID LUSK\nSession 1: Combating Advocate Fatigue: Practical Tips for Boosting Engagement\nRecruiting advocates for your cause isn’t easy. It requires time\, energy\, and sometimes\, financial resources. Now that you have these valuable activists\, don’t risk losing them to disengagement. \nLearn how organizations like yours are making the most of their advocates’ participation to build organizational value while growing subsets of ambassadors to champion their causes. \nThis session delivers tips and best practices for recruiting advocates\, maintaining momentum\, and boosting engagement for your cause\, helping you avoid advocate fatigue and disengagement.          PODCAST \nSession 2: Key Interests-Based Advocacy\nHow to be most effective in influencing legislators. \nDAVID T STEVENSON\nFighting State Carbon Taxes – The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) \nDave has spent the last seven years as the Director of the Center for Energy Competitiveness for the Caesar Rodney Institute.

Dave has been a leader on energy and environmental policy in the State Policy Network. He served on President Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency Transition Team\, and has become a resource for national energy and environmental issues. \nDAVID A. HYMAN\nOvercharged: Why Americans Pay Too Much for Healthcare \nDavid A. Hyman is an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and a Professor of Law at Georgetown University.

(PODCAST) (BIO) \nSTEPHEN D. HANER\n“Yes Virginia\, There Are Four Tax Hikes in Your Future” \nEach of these tax increases has been recognized on its own\, and debated on its own\, but they are not widely recognized by the voting public. The fourth and largest of them\, the windfall from federal conformity\, is still easy to prevent. (LinkedIn)\nStephen is a Senior Fellow\, State and Local Tax Policy\, Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy. \nCHRISTOPHER C. HORNER\nLaw Enforcement for Rent \nMr. Horner will detail a donor-funded scheme of law enforcement for hire\, using public office to expend resources not appropriated or approved by the AGs’ legislatures\, which raises statutory and significant constitutional issues as well as ethics concerns.\nSee: VIRGINIA AG HERRING HIT WITH LAWSUIT OVER LEGALITY OF PRIVATELY FUNDED CLIMATE PROSECUTORS \nHealthcare Solutions for the 2019 General Assembly\nPanel Members \n\nJeff Ryer – Exec.
