Mary Fallin and other GOP Heavyweights to Speak at National Gathering of State Legislators in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin (OK-5), will be speaking regarding federalism issues at the 2008 American Legislative Exchange Council's (ALEC) annual States & Nation Policy Summit in Washington, D.C.

State legislators from across the United States will gather for three days of intensive discussions on the critical issues facing the states and nation, share their knowledge and experiences with each other, and hear from national leaders and renowned policy experts who share their commitment to common sense, conservative policy.

"ALEC members participate in substantive public policy sessions throughout these meetings and legislators return to their state capitols better prepared to serve their constituents," said Arkansas State Senator Steve Faris, ALEC's 2008 National Chairman.

ALEC conferences are renowned for developing cutting edge legislative policy and garnering top policy speakers. This year's speaking with Rep. Mary Fallin (OK-5) will be: Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who will speak on state budget issues; former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, who will provide election analysis; syndicated columnist Amity Shlaes, author of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression; and U.S. Rep. Tom Price (GA), the only medical doctor currently in the House of Representatives will speak on health care reform issues.

The American Legislative Exchange Council's (ALEC) annual States & Nation Policy Summit will be held in Washington, D.C. at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, 2660 Woodley Road, NW, from December 4-6, 2008.
