Williams has traveled the nation supporting conservative principles and activism; I first saw him speak in 2008, at Americans for Prosperity’s answer to Netroots Nation, where he impressed the entire crowd with his engaging, dynamic speaking and his dedication to small government and personal liberty. ...
