The PC Libertarians were well represented at the 36th annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. The largest gathering of conservative activists in the country, CPAC features speakers, workshops, and networking over the course of three days. Among this year's speakers was Rep. Ron Paul, a hero to many who support limited government. Some of the PC delegation volunteered with Campaign for Liberty, his organization, and Young Americans for Liberty, its sister group. The volunteers were also able to attend Liberty Forum, which included appearances by Rep. Paul, Judge Andrew Napolitano, and others.
Libertarians in general were received quite favorably at the event, with a strong sentiment toward fiscal discipline and social tolerance that has been sadly absent from American conservatism in recent years.
Below are some pictures from the trip:
