David Martosko
Center for Consumer Freedom

Thursday, August 26, 2010
American Royal
We are pleased to announce that David Martosko with the Center for Consumer Freedom will be the featured speaker for the Council’s next luncheon meeting on August 26 at the American Royal.  The event will begin with networking/registration at 11:30 a.m.  You may register for the luncheon by clicking here.

 

This is somewhat of a make-up event, given that Martosko was originally scheduled to address the Council’s June 3 Member Workshop on the “New Wave of Activists.”  Last-minute flight delays prevented his attendance at that Workshop.

 

Martosko may be best known as the person behind the scenes in organizing the www.humanewatch.org website which monitors the activities of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).  More broadly, the Center for Consumer Freedom promotes personal responsibility and protecting consumer choices.  Martosko is in his 10th year with the Center where he has developed extensive expertise on the animal rights and environmental movements.

 

David led CCF's launch of groundbreaking Internet websites like www.PetaKillsAnimals.com, www.ActivistCash.com, and the recently launched www.HumaneWatch.org. He holds degrees from Dartmouth College and the Johns Hopkins University.

 

Martosko has been a guest on most of the major broadcast and cable news magazine shows, and his writing has been published in many of America’s biggest newspapers. He has also testified before both houses of the U.S. Congress about the unique threats posed by the modern animal rights movement.

 

 

The August luncheon will be preceded by a Council Board Meeting which will begin at 10:00 a.m., also at the American Royal.
