*Senator Jim DeMint * The Leadership Institute is delighted to present Senator Jim DeMint as its May Wednesday Wake-up Club Breakfast featured speaker. Since his first campaign for Congress in 1998, Senator DeMint has proven to be a principled leader who has fought to secure South Carolina’s and America’s future. Elected as South Carolina’s 55th senator in 2004, Senator DeMint quickly established himself as one of the most effective conservative leaders in Washington, seeking to enact innovative solutions to improve America for future generations. He has been a tireless advocate for smaller government, individual liberty, a strong national defense and traditional values. Senator DeMint has earned national acclaim for his work to end the system of earmarks. Following the November elections in 2006, the senator stood up against big spenders in Congress and stopped over 10,000 wasteful pork projects. Famed Washington journalist Robert Novak called him a “hero.” Wall Street Journal editor Steve Moore said the senator’s actions saved Americans about $17 billion and called him the "taxpayers' greatest ally." In early 2007 DeMint also fought for commonsense immigration reform by leading the effort to defeat the amnesty bill and calling on government to first secure our borders, enforce the laws already passed, and streamline the legal immigration system. Senator DeMint was recently ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. Bring a friend! Breakfast is served at 7:30 a.m. and the program begins at 8:00 a.m. at the Leadership Institute, located just 100 yards from the Clarendon Metro Station on the Orange Line.
