The 2015 CPAC countdown begins with gusto: Ted Cruz, Mark Levin among the speakers

For those pining for the next Conservative Action Political Conference- their beloved CPAC - the countdown has begun. The big four-day event is just over 100 days away, set to begin on February 25. Already signed up to speak: Sen. Ted Cruz, radio kingpin Mark Levin and potential presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina.

“These three conservative leaders reflect our desire to ensure that CPAC 2015 represents conservative policies that highlight the importance of free markets, national security, and traditional cultural standards,” said American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp

“Ronald Reagan delivered one of his most important speeches at CPAC, uniting conservatives and ultimately restoring our country’s greatness. This CPAC will be decisive,” observed Mr. Levin. “I’ve been asked by the American Conservative Union to explain why our principles are just as important today as they were at our Founding. We must get this right.”

Mr. Cruz anticipates “one of the best CPACs ever” while Ms. Fiorina looks back to the lessons of Nov. 4

“The recent midterm elections reflect American desire for conservative policy solutions that will restore America’s standing after years of liberalism’s failed policies and cynicism. The Left has wasted America’s time with its so-called war-on-women for long enough. Conservatives will focus on lifting up all Americans,” she said.

CPAC will once again be staged at the glittering National Harbor, some seven miles south of the nation’s capital on the Potomac River. The organizers have also launched “The Road to CPAC” - a year-round online CPAC “experience,” complete with a 100-day educational lead-up to the events, which last until Feb. 28.

“We must respond to Americans’ call for real change by expanding CPAC from a four-day event to a 365-day, year-round experience,” Mr. Schlapp explained.
