Joe Bast at CPAC on the Brian Wilson Show — Talking Parent Trigger

.

The Heartland Institute was at CPAC last week, where we all had a great time spreading the gospel of liberty — even if yours truly came back with the CPAC Plague as an unwanted souvenir.

Heartland President Joseph Bast (at left in the photo) and I hosted panel discussions at the event, and we’ll be posting the video when/if it becomes available. Meanwhile, you can listen to the podcast audio in this post to hear Bast talk about The Heartland Institute, school reform efforts across the country, and The Parent Trigger — the best tool parents have to save their schools and children from the bureaucrats.

As a proud side note: ABC News’ “The Note” blog called Heartland’s Liberty & Freedom Playing Cards one of the Top 10 collectibles at CPAC. You can get some of your own at Heartland’s online store.
