One of the really cool things about The Hayride is just how much it focuses on doing the right thing – the conservative thing – and supports the people in our government who do it every day. It’s a constant battle, and one that requires the help of grassroots activists across the state to hold folks accountable and, if need be, get rid of those who don’t and replace them with those who will.

I know a lot of you guys read RedState (thanks, by the way), and this August, you’ll have a chance to meet a lot of the folks not just from the site but from all across the country who do the same thing The Hayride does, just on a national scale. The annual RedState Gathering is a collection of grassroots activists who come together to talk about and listen to the big issues concerning conservatism in the U.S., and every year, it’s getting bigger.

This year, I’m inviting you guys to represent our state.

Come hang out with me, the RedState contributors, and tons of other great guests. Here’s what you get when you sign up:

• General access to RedState Gathering speaker & breakout session lineup (25+ speakers and panelists)
  Lunch on Friday & Saturday, Breakfast Saturday & Sunday
  Access to Friday & Saturday evening events
• Activism Training!
• Tracks on Criminal Justice Reform and Corporate Cronyism

Now, since I have a special place in my heart for Louisiana conservatives, here’s a bonus for you: When you register, enter the promo code “RSGJOE” and you’ll get $20 off the Early Bird pricing – meaning you just pay $229 to register. When you do go to sign up, you’ll also have special access to the discounted hotel rate of $169 per night at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Denver.

I’d love to see a big Louisiana turnout at the Gathering this year, so let’s make it happen!
