My buddies at the Virginia Institute for Public Policy are hosting “A Vision for Victory in Virginia,” a two-day conference in Williamsburg Sept. 21-23. Confirmed speakers include Sandra Froman, the president of the National Rifle Association; former Congressman Dick Armey; and syndicated columnist Cal Thomas and Thomas Jefferson.

Topics include: the advantages of an articulated vision such as the “Contract with America,” the Freedom & Prosperity Agenda, educational reform, property rights, fiscal policy and, of course, golf, tennis and a tour of colonial Williamsburg.

If you’ve never attended a Virginia Institute event, I highly recommend it. The Institute raised the level of intellectual discourse in Virginia by 20 IQ points when it convened its monthly breakfast conclave in Richmond.
