Dear Fellow Patriots,
I am so excited to see you at Wednesday's upcoming Virginia Forum presentation by Xi Van Fleet; the brave author who escaped from Communist China!
There are still some tickets available.
Xi is sounding the alarm that the seemingly bizarre conflicts, violence, confusion, and political insanity of the last few years are actually the American version of the Communist Cultural Revolution that we didn't think would ever happen here!
You must be with us for this important presentation!! Get tickets here.
AND if you have your tickets for Xi Van Fleet you will get the first chance to buy tickets for October's Forum on Conservatives in Hollywood and Entertainment!
We will announce the Hollywood star who will be our October guest on Wednesday night at the Forum! And then you can buy tickets before anyone else!
It's going to be epic! Some would say Herculean! (Hint hint)
See you Wednesday!!!! Get your tickets asap.
