Herman Cain, Mitt Romney Defending the American Dream Summit 2011


Republican presidential candidates Herman Cain and Mitt Romney are among the confirmed speakers for today’s Defending the American Dream Summit in Washington, D.C.

The summit is a product of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a pet project of fossil fuel industry tycoon David Koch, Executive Vice President for Koch Industries. In fact, two of the five members of the group’s Board of Directors also serve on the Board of Directors for Koch Industries.

As such, it’s no surprise to see anti-environmental topics like “Extreme Power Abuse: The EPA’s Job-Crushing Regulatory Assault” tucked into the event's agenda, in between such wholesome sounding sessions as "How to pimp your website". 

A live stream of the Defending the American Dream Summit is set to begin at 11:00 AM, with Herman Cain taking the stage at 1:00 PM, followed by Mitt Romney.

Update: Click here to see what Herman Cain and Mitt Romney had to say about energy, the EPA, Solyndra and, yes, the Koch brothers.
