In Touch Events is proud to present our inaugural benefit in support of Operation 300 on Saturday, March 22. Here’s a bit about this worthy organization, but be sure to click on Operation 300 to find out more about them and how you can help support their mission:
Operation 300 is a non-profit foundation designed to create a week long experience for children who have lost their fathers as a result of service to our country.
The camp will provide an opportunity to participate in activities that embody the spirit of adventure that characterized the lives of their absent fathers while fostering a culture of courage, strength, freedom, endurance, honor and godly morality embodied by fearless patriots throughout the history of our American Republic.
We’re thrilled to confirm the following fabulous speakers:
Trevor Loudon is a libertarian author, activist and political researcher from Christchurch New Zealand. His newest book The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress is like no other book written on American politics. It’s designed to expose, in layman’s terms, the comprehensive communist, socialist and extreme progressive infiltration of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. His latest effort explains to American voters exactly how modern communism works and impacts their lives, every single day.
Just how do the communists win big on things like Obamacare and immigration “reform,” which go completely against the wishes of the American people?
The Enemies Within answers this perplexing question, building upon Louden’s first book, Barack Obama and the Enemies Within, which details the Communists, Socialists and Progressives that shaped and influenced the President from an early age, and exposes his close relationship with Van Jones. Glenn Beck says, “Trevor Loudon does the job that few in the media ever attempt.”
Loudon believes in freedom with responsibility, not freedom from responsibility. His ideal society is one in which government is confined to protecting its citizens from criminals and external enemies and he believes in working with all those who are moving in broadly the same direction. This prolific author, blogger, political researcher and speaker is also the founder and editor of KeyWiki.org, a rapidly growing website with the goal of unlocking the covert side of U.S. and Global politics.
Billy Vaughn was a farmer and local businessman from the heartland of America.
Since the tragic loss of their son, Billy Vaughn and his wife Karen have found a new mission dedicated to the preservation of the military and the defense of our nation’s defenders.
After the stunning news of their son’s death on August 6, 2011, the Vaughns began searching for answers to what they believed to be simple questions. But as they searched, their eyes were opened to vile atrocities being played out on America’s military. They quickly came face-to-face with their worst nightmare…our men shouldn’t have died that night.
The downing of Extortion 17 was at best unnecessary and at worst a negligent, reckless loss of life.
Political games, criminal Rules of Engagement and Washington’s total, wanton lack of regard for the battles our fearless warriors face on a nightly basis finally culminated in the greatest one-day loss of life in the history of Naval Special Warfare.
If these atrocities had ended on August 6, 2011, their battle would never have begun. But multitudes since have breathed their last –at the hands of the same disgusting lack of regard and/or criminal behavior. Our defenders deserve to be defended. The burden of their covering rests on us, the patriots of this nation. It is imperative that we stand together and demand change. Although the Vaughns cannot be engaged in this war kinetically as Aaron was, they feel the absolute need to be engaged culturally.

John L. Casey is a former White House space program advisor, consultant to NASA Headquarters, and space shuttle engineer. He is one of America’s most successful climate change researchers and climate prediction experts. Mr. Casey is the leading advocate in the US for a national and international plan to prepare for the next climate change to one of a dangerous cold climate era. This new cold era is caused by a historic decline in the Sun’s energy output, what he calls a “solar hibernation.” In the spring of 2007, he became the first researcher to announce this dramatic change in the Sun to the White House and the mainstream media. In addition to correctly predicting the hibernation of the Sun, recently confirmed by NASA and other science organizations, he has correctly predicted the end of global warming, and the long term decline in the Earth’s temperatures. He is the author of the internationally acclaimed climate science book, Cold Sun which describes the rationale for understanding why global warming has ended and the effects of the new cold climate era. Mr. Casey is currently President of the climate research company, the Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC), in Orlando, Florida. Through his years in climate research he has been outspoken in saying that the Sun is the primary driver to climate change.
