KCC is here at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington at the Defending the American Dream Conference.  The event, sponsored by the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, has had educational sessions this morning, including some that were repeated from the RightOnline conference that your blogger recently attended in Las Vegas.

There are over 2500 people at this event, the largest number of attendees ever.   In fact, they had to turn people away and the Wardman Park Hotel has been booked solid for months.  Popular radio host, Chad Adams, formally of Civitas, told this blogger that there were over 460 delegates from the “ole’ North state”.

Also joining us in the hotel are people wearing name tags stating they are with the Restoring Honor Rally. Your blogger assumes they must be staff or volunteers for that event.  They looked at those of us wearing Dream names tags with a bit of suspicion, which was odd, because the AFP will be running buses to the Glenn Beck event on Saturday afternoon.

Currently, KCC is sitting with the large North Carolina delegation, listening to a poll presentation by Francis DeLuca of the Civitas Institute.  (DeLuca is an American hero, as he is a retired U.S. Marine Colonel and once served as a combat helicopter pilot.)

Dallas Woodhouse announced that the NC AFP will be shooting an issue ad to be shown in the 8th and the 11th Congressional Districts.  He issued a call for people living in those districts to show up in the morning to appear in those ads.

Look for more reports coming.  Next up are the main speakers of the afternoon.  Exciting stuff.
