CPAC 2022: Scenes from CPAC Central (the Exhibit Hall)          ...1 of 5 >
Feb. 24-26, 2022 - The exhibit hall is always interesting.  Interest groups, think tanks, publishers, and product vendors promote their ideas and wares and there are also book signings.  Photos of some of the booths follow (alpha):
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) "is America’s largest nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization of state legislators dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism. Comprised of nearly one-quarter of the country’s state legislators and stakeholders from across the policy spectrum, ALEC members represent more than 60 million Americans..."  alec.org

Atheists for Liberty "is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting for and sustaining individual rights and the separation of religion & government. We work to defend the fundamental freedoms that support the human quest for knowledge."  atheistsforliberty.org

Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) was "founded [in 1985] to promote a much-needed, positive alternative voice on issues of environment and development."  www.cfact.org

As described in an article on CFACT's website ("CFACT brings energy independence message to CPAC 2022"), CFACT president and co-founder Craig Rucker and director of communications Marc Morano did TV and radio interviews, while...
"at CFACT’s table...participants could play CFACT’s 'Energy Price is Right' plinko game for the chance to win a prize. Just like in the famous plinko game from the popular 'Price is Right' game show, attendees take a token chip and drop it at the top of the board (although CFACT’s version was just a bit smaller). From there, the chip bounces down until it falls in one of several boxes labeled 'solar,' 'wind,' 'nuclear,' and 'fossil fuels.'

"If the chip landed in solar or wind, attendees would get some candy, but if their chip landed on nuclear or fossil fuels, attendees won a restaurant gift card!

"'The point of the game was to show that while solar and wind can provide a little energy sometimes, the real way to power a society is with nuclear and fossil fuels,' explained CFACT President Craig Rucker. 'Solar and wind can play a part, but society needs reliable, efficient energy.'

"CFACT volunteers also offered copies of CFACT’s groundbreaking documentary Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy for purchase. Even a year after its initial release, the film still generates quite the buzz, as many stopped by to learn more and get their copy..."
The Florida Federation of College Republicans (www.ffcr.gop) has 20 federated chapters and more than 1,500 students active across the state.  FFCR is part of the College Republicans: "Founded in 1892, the College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is one of the nation’s largest, longest-running, and most active youth political organizations. The CRNC is comprised of 52 Federations, including one in each state in addition to the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, with a presence on nearly 2,000 college campuses and over 250,000 members nationwide."  crnc.org

"Concerned Methodists is a 'Renewal' organization working within the United Methodist Church, urging it to greater biblical faithfulness to its Wesleyan heritage and standing firmly on the Judeo-Christian ethic which extends back for over 6,000 years. It seeks to inform motivated Christians in actions contributing to church reform, provide assistance, and emphasize Christian discipleship."  cmpage.org

"The Conservative Caucus (TCC) (Americans for Constitutional Liberty) was founded in 1974 as in the belief that conservatives could win in Washington only by mobilizing conservative strength at the state and Congressional district level."  theconservativecaucus.org

New at the CO2 Coalition booth is a children's book, "Once Upon A Time: A true story about the miracle molecule - carbon dioxide."

"The CO2 Coalition is a group of more than 80 of the top scientists, engineers and energy experts who study and report on the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy.  The Coalition was established in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public... The Coalition seeks to engage in an informed and dispassionate discussion of climate change, humans’ role in the climate system, the limitations of climate models, and the consequences of mandated reductions in CO2 emissions."  co2coalition.org
