Steve Beren 2009 Speaking Tour

BIOGRAPHY

Steve Beren is a speaker, writer, blogger, and activist on the issues of international terrorism, the Iran nuclear threat, and the relationship between politics and morality. A Seattle-based conservative activist, Beren is deeply involved in the new, but growing "tea party" taxpayer movement in opposition to the Obama administration's far left economic agenda. Beren was the 2008 Republican candidate for Congress against far left Democrat incumbent Jim McDermott.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Beren was a Vietnam antiwar activist and socialist, but since then he has become a patriot, a Christian, and a Republican. Beren supports our troops and our mission in the U.S.-led war against terrorism. He has a special insight into the motivations of the current antiwar movement, and the fallacies of their arguments.

Beren is a powerful speaker and gifted debater, and has appeared at meetings, conferences, rallies, panel discussions, debates, and on talk shows.

After the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, Beren felt he had a responsibility to do what he could (as a private citizen activist) to help win the war against terrorism. In particular, he seeks to bring his message to young people, challenging the leftist political domination of our nation's campuses.

A native of New York City, Beren moved to Seattle in 1987. As a former antiwar activist, Beren has a unique perspective on the activities of today's radicals and far left extremists. A former Democrat, Beren came to realize that the Democrats were weak on national security, and considers himself a "9/11 Republican" and a "five star conservative." He and his wife live in Seattle, where they are members of Christian Faith Center.

Report on Tuesday 9/1 Jim McDermott Townhall

By Steve Beren | 09/02/09

Steve Beren, September 2, 2009 Congressman Jim McDermott held a healthcare townhall last night at Meany Hall at the University of Washington in Seattle. There appeared to be about 900 or 1,000 in a hall that seats 1,200. Most of those in attendance were supporters of a "single payer" healthcare plan, and many were unhappy with any plan that did not do away with the private insurance industry. Many of those in the audience openly... read more »

By Steve Beren | 07/24/09

MY 2008 PREDICTION Source: http://bit.ly/Wf6ZI If Barack Obama is elected president, we'll have a second Jimmy Carter term.
