There is still time to RSVP for the Buckeye Institute’s breakfast lecture on Tuesday, Dec 11, 8:00am-9:00am at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Our speaker is Dr. Arthur Brooks, author of Who Really Cares: The Suprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism.

In his book Who Really Cares, Dr. Brooks thoroughly refutes the conventional wisdom that conservatives are cold-hearted and lacking in compassion for others and society at large. Brooks has discovered just the opposite, and that for reasons of faith, family and other traditional American values, conservatives overall give significantly more to charity than liberals despite earning less in income.

Listen on our BuckeyeVoices podcast to an interview between our Reagan Fellow Ken Blackwell and Dr. Brooks and you’ll hear why this is an event you and your friends will want to attend.

This unconventional truth is the starting point for a revealing journey Brooks takes looking at the role of charity in strengthening civic virtue in individuals, communities and our nation.

Along the way Brooks shows why government funding can never substitute for privately donated resources – a policy point in need of understanding and appreciation by political leaders in Ohio.

We hope you can join us! Please contact Jenna McNulty to RSVP for this event.
