“Americans are opposed to the unprecedented expansion of government power and secrecy. With our participation in CPAC, Judicial Watch is proud to stand with other conservatives to say ‘enough is enough.’ We must fight for ethics, accountability and transparency on Capitol Hill and in White House — that is our message for CPAC,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.About CPAC: Taking place in Washington, DC each year, CPAC brings together nearly 10,000 attendees and all of the leading conservative organizations and speakers who impact conservative thought in the nation.
