Featured Speaker
James O'Keefe
James O'Keefe is an investigative journalist and
filmmaker. He filmed and produced a 2009
investigative report that helped expose corruption
within ACORN, including ACORN employees
providing individuals they believed to be involved in
an international under-age prostitution scheme with
advice on how to break the law. Congress voted to
defund ACORN shortly after the videos were released.
James began his career as a journalist as the founder
and editor-in-chief of The Centurion at Rutgers
University. He has helped start over a dozen campus
newspapers nationwide. His past projects include an
investigation of Planned Parenthood, where his
reporting exposed the organization's willingness to
ignore apparent instances of statutory rape and
eugenics-based racism. He is currently working at
VeritasVisuals.com and blogs at BigGovernment.com
