Three Days to Convention!

We are on our way to Des Moines!

So much is happening on the ground in Iowa, we don’t have time to tell you everything, but here are some highlights:

We’ve confirmed Santorum, Paul, Cain, Gingrich, and Anita Perry – and we’re in talks with the rest.

National media is coming: NBC, C-SPAN, CNN, Human Events, WorldNetDaily – and those are just the ones we know about.

Iowans are coming: If you have friends and family in Iowa (and we know you do) tell them about the Straw Poll, and make sure they come to support their candidate – or figure out who their candidate is if they aren’t sure yet. This is why we chose Iowa for convention! $20 gets them in the door, to the candidates, and lunch to boot. It’s a great deal! Straw Poll tickets are available on the convention website.

It isn’t too late to register for convention, but it is getting close. Don’t miss this once in a lifetime event!

We’re going to need your help. We are rolling out the carpet to Iowans and the candidates. We’ll be calling on you to help us put NFRA’s best foot forward. If you can help, or can serve in particular ways, please reply to this email so we can connect you with the Hospitality Committee. Everything is in place but you!
