O'Keefe to headline Raleigh conference

James O'Keefe, the conservative activist who became known for his undercover investigations of ACORN, voter fraud, Medicaid, and National Public Radio, will be the keynote speaker later this month at a “N.C. Watchdog Training” conference in Raleigh.

The two-day conference is scheduled for July 27-28 at the DoubleTree Raleigh Brownstone Hotel in Raleigh. It is being sponsored by the Civitas Institute, a conservative advocacy group based in Raleigh and the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.
