Jindal to be featured at conservative conference in Florida

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will travel to Florida at the end of August to give a keynote speech at "Defend the Dream," the 7th annual meeting of conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity.

"I'm thrilled to announce the addition of Governor Jindal to the Defending the American Dream Conference. As a two-term governor and current Chairman of the Republican Governor's Association, Governor Jindal is one of the most important voices spreading the message that the American Dream is for all Americans," AFP President Tim Phillips said in a press release.

Phillips cited Jindal's background and his "leadership" in being "a forerunner in opposing ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion" as reasons for featuring the Baton Rouge native at the annual meeting.

The event will take place in Orlando on August 30 and 31. Senators Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Ron Johnson, R-Wisc. and Marco Rubio, R-Florida, will also speak at the event, along with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and conservative pundit Michelle Malkin.
