UPDATE: I just returned from the Defending the American Dream Summit, at the Nation’s Capitol in Washington, D.C.. The weather was gorgeous, the view amazing, and the crowd riled-up. Tim Phillips of Washington, D.C., Dallas Woodhouse of South Carolina, Peggy Venable of Texas, Peter Foy of California, and Steve Lonegan of New Jersey all gave rousing speeches to the theme of, No, Nancy Pelosi, the free market didn’t cause the mortage crisis – it was government interference in the free market that caused this crisis.

Inspiring a round of “Drill, baby, Drill!” chants, Peggy Venable said,

Government is not responsible for the American Dream; we are…Government is not the answer; we are!

Steve Lonegan said that he has never seen our principles under attack like they are now, and started the crowd of about 1,000 chanting enthusiastically, “No new taxes! No new taxes!

As soon as I got back to the beautiful Crystal Gateway Marriott and turned on FoxNews, I saw the rally on Neal Cavuto’s Common Sense program. Hopefully, more media outlets will report on this report, and our legislators will get the message.
