The American Conservative Union has announced that Dr. Ben Carson will be a featured speaker at CPAC 2013 - the 40th annual Conservative Political Action Conference in mid-March.
Dr. Ben Carson represents the optimism and hope of the future of the conservative movement, while at the same time he articulates the deep fiscal and social challenges that our nation faces, says chairman Al Cardenas.
Dr. Carson, director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has been on conservative radar plenty since his straightforward speech about the state of America at the recent National Prayer Breakfast, before an audience that included President Obama.
The Wall Street Journal ran an immediate op-ed titled Ben Carson for President, in the aftermath, declaring that Dr. Carson may not be politically correct, but hes closer to correct than weve heard in years.
Many agree, and have acted on the sentiment. Already Internet domains have been filed with Register.com, the official depository of new websites, including BenCarson2016.com and Bencarsonforpresident.com, among others.
