As tens of thousands rallied at the nation's Capitol, several hundred conservatives gathered in downtown Raleigh Saturday to bone up on conservative policy and strategies, and seek inspiration from some of the movement's stars.
Former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean and Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund gave speeches, and local conservatives hosted more than a dozen workshops on topics such as health-care reform, taxes, government transparency and same-sex marriage.
"We want to train grass-roots activists and educate people about conservative solutions to public issues," said Francis De Luca, executive director of Civitas, the Raleigh-based think tank that hosted the conference. (N&O)
