Paul Ryan To Headline OCPA Spring Dinner
The Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs (OCPA) will feature Congressman Paul Ryan, Wisconsin Republican, at its annual spring dinner held at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum on the evening of March 31, 2010."I had the opportunity to hear Congressman Ryan about a year ago, and his message of free market entrepreneurship and individual liberty resonates not only with the core values of OCPA, but all Oklahomans," said OCPA Chairman Dr. David Brown.
"Congressman Ryan is excited to be back in Oklahoma, his wife's native state, and will most assuredly be speaking about his views on our country's future and the role of Oklahoma in shaping that future."
Ryan, now serving his sixth term in Congress, serves as a ranking member of the House Budget Committee and is a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to address the Oklahoma City community and appreciate the invitation from the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs. At this critical moment in our nation's history, we must recommit ourselves to the founding principles - individual liberty, self-determination, free enterprise - the timeless principles that made our nation the most prosperous and free on earth. We must work tirelessly to advance these timeless principles to the challenges of our day, and I am honored by the invitation to work with those in Oklahoma to restore the promise and prosperity of our exceptional nation."
A rising star in national politics, Ryan has been mentioned as a possible Speaker of the House. He will join a prestigious line of preceding OCPA Citizenship Dinner speakers including Justice Clarence Thomas, General Tommy Franks, Newt Gingrich, and the late William F. Buckley, Jr.
