Americans for Prosperity Foundation is pleased to announce that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is joining the line-up of participants in the organization’s “Summit on Spending and Job Creation” on April 29 at The Executive Court in Manchester. Confirmed attendees also include former MN Governor Tim Pawlenty, former US Senator Rick Santorum and businessman Herman Cain.

“We are honored to welcome businessman and former MA Governor Mitt Romney to speak at the first major summit to discuss spending and job creation as we approach the 2012 election cycle,” said AFP Foundation President Tim Phillips. “The American people are eager to hear how Governor Romney and other speakers might plan to change the ‘spend now, pay later’ culture in Washington,” continued Phillips.

Other invited guests include Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS), former Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK), Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (R-MN), former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR).

“The summit will provide the people of New Hampshire with an opportunity to hear firsthand from some of the most notable conservatives on the national scene about government spending and job creation,” said AFP Foundation-New Hampshire State Director Corey R. Lewandowski. “We look forward to a lively discussion on the issues. Once again, the people of New Hampshire will play a critical role in determining the standout ideas during this political season,” Lewandowski concluded.

Tom Thomson, Honorary Chairman of NH Americans for Prosperity Foundation and son of former Governor Meldrim Thomson said, “I am proud to play a role in planning what may be one of the largest events in NH’s First in the Nation Primary season. This event will help to change the direction and the history of this great nation, bringing it back to its conservative values,” Thomson concluded.

Before the summit on “spending and job creation” that same evening, AFP Foundation will host a dinner honoring Ovide Lamontagne as “Conservative of the Year.” The dinner begins at 7:00pm, followed by the summit at 8:00pm.

As additional speakers confirm attendance, AFP Foundation will update all relevant parties. For more information or to RSVP to the dinner and Summit, please visit: http://nhdinner.eventbrite.com.
