@Chapman_Law 3. Sean O'Hare is the youngest American scheduled to speak, from a new generation of Religious Right voices (he's apparently close to Tim Tebow): thinkprogress.org/here-are-the-a…

@Chapman_Law Update: Alexey Komov is officially scheduled to speak at this month's WCF conference, alongside these other Religious Right figures. wcfverona.org/en/speakers/
