English: Citizens United and Congressman Jeff Duncan are teaming up to bring grassroots activists from across South Carolina and the surrounding area to hear directly from national conservative leaders at the South Carolina Freedom Summit on Saturday, May 9, 2015. With the critically important South Carolina Primary less than a year away, the Summit will be a launch point for conservative ideas as we head towards 2016.

The Freedom Summit will focus on how we can get America back on track by focusing on our core conservative principles of pro-growth economics, social conservatism, and a strong national defense. This must-attend Summit in the Palmetto State is free to the public and will be held at the beautiful Peace Center in Greenville.

Stay tuned for further updates as we announce more nationally recognized speakers in the weeks ahead. Since the Summit is free, we encourage you to sign up early because we have a limited number of seats. Please tell your family and friends about this important grassroots event. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 9th in Greenville for the South Carolina Freedom Summit!
