On September 21-23, the Virginia Institute for Public Policy and Tertium Quids will co-host a conference titled A Vision for Victory for Virginia. The conference will be held at the brand new Williamsburg Lodge in Colonial Williamsburg.

From the Book of Proverbs ("Where there is no vision, the people perish") to old Chinese proverbs ("If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there"), it has long been understood that if one lacks direction or a clear goal, achieving anything of significance is unlikely.

A Vision for Victory for Virginia will open with a retrospective look at the Contract with America - what was intended, what was accomplished, where did we fall short, what did we learn. The balance of the conference will be dedicated to the Freedom & Prosperity Agenda, an eleven-plank legislative program introduced by the Virginia Institute prior to the 2006 General Assembly session. Two of the eleven planks, including the elimination of Virginia's estate tax, were passed into law this year. What is the current status of the Agenda? What have we learned? Where are we going from here?

There will be ample opportunities to enjoy the amenities in Williamsburg from discounted tickets to the colonial area, to a specially arranged concert at the historic Bruton Parish Church by internationally renowned harpsichordist James Darling, followed by an afternoon tea at the Williamsburg Inn.

If you want to enjoy the Colonial Williamsburg experience with a hint of fall in the air; meet leaders who are making a difference at both the state and national levels; hear policy experts discuss the answers contained within the Freedom & Prosperity Agenda to the most pressing issues facing Virginia (How can we limit government? How do we control state spending? What taxes can be eliminated? How can private property be protected from government encroachment? How can education be improved by competition and the discipline of the market?); then we will see you in Colonial Williamsburg.

Join us to walk in the footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Henry, and Mason.

At a time when it could have cost them their liberty, their property, and their very lives, they stepped forward and shouldered what they understood to be their responsibilities as citizens.

Display your own civic virtue and strike a blow for liberty while enjoying yourself at the brand new Lodge in Colonial Williamsburg. Register today!
