The Pacific Research Institute (PRI) champions freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility by advancing free-market policy solutions. It provides practical solutions for the policy issues that impact the daily lives of all Americans, and demonstrates why the free market is more effective than the government at providing the important results we all seek: good schools, quality health care, a clean environment, and a robust economy.

#1,
Pretty much kills this event for me too…
A head’s up from the event organizer. Tom Tait is a former Anaheim councilman. He did not serve on the Irvine city council.
The error was in the press release.
Art I beg of you – for the love of God, stop using that disturbing image.
