The North Carolina Coastal Conservative Conference here in Wilmington is being co-hosted by Russ Hauptman, of the local Americans for Prosperity chapter, and state Rep. Carolyn Justice. Curtis Wright and Cat Pratt from The Big Talker (WLTT-FM) are coordinating the event, along with several volunteers. The conference sponsors include The Big Talker, AFP-North Carolina, the Civitas Institute, the John Locke Foundation, and Cape Fear Fair Tax.

Of course, many thanks to Wilmington Christian Academy for the use of their beautiful and easily accessible campus.
