Speakers:
John P. Walters,

Hudson Institute Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President

Mitch Daniels,

Governor of Indiana and former Hudson Institute President and CEO

David Brooks,

New York Times Op-Ed Columnist

William Galston,

Senior Fellow of Governance at The Brookings Institution

Describing our national debt as a "survival-level threat to the America we have known," Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels is nonetheless hopeful that its citizens can rise to meet the challenge:

"I urge great care not to drift into a loss of faith in the American people. We must never yield to the self-fulfilling despair that these problems are immutable, or insurmountable. Americans are still a people born to liberty. Addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy."

This is the message of Governor Daniels' new book, Keeping the Republic: Saving America by Trusting Americans, which was the focus of a panel discussion on September 26th.
