HON. DANA ROHRABACHER
TO BE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT
40TH TRIENNIAL BANQUET


The Hon. Dana Rohrabacher, a twenty year member of the Sons of the Revolution in the State of California, will be the keynote speaker at the General Society Sons of the Revolution 40TH Triennial Meeting Banquet, a gala black-tie/white-tie dinner scheduled for September 26, 2009 at the Glendale Hilton Hotel. Currently serving his eleventh term in Congress, he represents California's scenic 46th District.

In 1988, he scored an upset victory with the help of Col. Oliver North to win his seat in Congress. His more than 20-year record in Congress is one of strong support for our military and respect for our nation's heritage.

Congressman Rohrabacher is proud of his membership in the Sons of the Revolution in the State of California, becoming a member in 1989 by right of descent from Pvt. Moses Tyler, who served in Capt. Peter Harwood’s Company, Massachusetts Militia. He is well versed in the history and spirit of our revolutionary heritage.

As Ranking Member of the International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Rohrabacher is a most forceful spokesman for human rights and democracy around the world. He is also committed to securing our borders and a staunch opponent of amnesty for illegal immigrants. During his tenure as Chairman, one of his first priorities was to investigate the U.N. Oil for Food program and potential foreign influence in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Rep. Rohrabacher will continue to look into technology transfer issues, visa policies practiced by the State Department, Chinese proliferation of nuclear weapons technology as well as other volatile areas of concern such as the massive cultivation of opium poppies in Afghanistan. As a senior member of the International Relations Committee, Rohrabacher led the effort to deny Most Favored Nation trading status to Communist China, citing the rogue nation's dismal human rights record and opposition to democracy.

Rohrabacher led efforts in the 104th and 105th Congresses to restore the intellectual property rights of American inventors legislated away with the implementation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), authoring the Patent Term Restoration Act.

The 46th Congressional District is the birthplace of California's Proposition 187, a reform initiative which removes illegal aliens from the state's welfare and education rolls. Rohrabacher inspired the grassroots movement and, as a principal congressional spokesman for Prop. 187, framed the debate that led to the passage of the popular measure.

Prior to his first election to Congress in 1988, Rohrabacher served as Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan. For seven years he was one of the President's senior speechwriters. During his tenure at the White House, Rohrabacher played a pivotal role in the formulation of the Reagan Doctrine and in championing the cause of a strong national defense. He also helped formulate President Reagan's Economic Bill of Rights, a package of economic reforms that the President introduced in a historic speech before the Jefferson Memorial. Prior to joining Ronald Reagan's White House staff, he was an editorial writer for the Orange County Register.

Congressman Rohrabacher serves as Ranking Member of the Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Committee on International Relations and is a senior member on the House Committee on Science.


COMEDIAN EVAN SAYET
HEADLINES
JBC DINNER


Well known political commentator, satirist and comedian Evan Sayet will entertain attendees at the Triennial Meeting's Friday evening dinner, September 25, 2009, at the Jonathan Beach Club. His recent gigs have included the Heritage Foundation in 2007 and 2009, as well as numerous television appearances.



Evan has written and/or produced in virtually every medium there is. Starting out as a standup comic he was quickly spotted by David Letterman and offered a spot on a special episode featuring young talent. Segueing into writing, he was an integral part of the team that made “The Arsenio Hall Show” the first late night program in thirty years to give “The Tonight Show” a run for its money and then the very first Creative Consultant on the highly respected “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” (back when Maher was funny). After that Evan wrote and produced the highest rated special in Discovery’s The Learning Channel’s history (“The 70’s: From Bellbottoms to Boogie Shoes”), perfected the book for a musical comedy, wrote a screenplay optioned by Penny Marshall and even tried his hand at game shows as the original writer of the cult classic “Win Ben Stein’s Money.”

You'll be exhilarated! You'll laugh! You'll take notes You'll search for a transcript (if it becomes available)! It's WONDERFUL!

Watch as Sayet brilliantly proves that the modern Liberal invariably must choose: Evil over Good. Wrong over Right. Behaviors that lead to Failure over those that lead to success. Then, in the afterglow of this brilliant speech, you can go to the one he gave two years ago. I thought then, and I think now, that Even Sayet is a national treasure - an American treasure.




What the critics are saying:

Evan Sayet explodes pernicious stereotypes with refreshing humor that is simultaneously thought-provoking and hilarious... -- Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio talk show host.

At last I can delight in a show that is genuinely funny. My thanks to Evan Sayet. –- Larry Elder, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and best-selling author.

Evan has crossed that line from funny to important. -- Michael Barone, US News and World Report.

Evan is HILARIOUS!!! -- Ann Coulter, bestselling author, "If Democrats Had Brains They'd Be Republicans" and "Guilty."
