* Matt Gianneschi – President of Colorado Mountain College, with a background in public policy and education.
* John A. Daly – Thriller novelist, political columnist, host of the ‘Daly Express’ podcast, and co-host of the ‘Reagan Caucus’ podcast and ‘Bernie’s Goldberg’s No BS Zone’ podcast.

Two weeks ago, we hosted a successful event with Protect Democracy at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where we explored the threats facing our democratic institutions and discussed actionable steps to safeguard our freedoms. With thought-provoking discussions led by prominent figures in law, government, and advocacy, we walked away with renewed determination to stand up for what we believe in. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the event.

If you missed the discussion, you can watch it here ([link removed]) . Photos are also available here ([link removed]) .

Your participation is crucial as we continue to work toward a future that prioritizes our founding principles. If you missed the event in D.C., don’t worry – we’ll be bringing that same passion and insight to Colorado, and we’d love to have you join us!

We look forward to seeing you in Colorado as we continue this important conversation.
