James O’Keefe of Project Veritas
2015 PA Leadership Conference Luncheon Speaker
(Harrisburg, PA) – His undercover investigation into ACORN led to the group’s collapse; he caused a Planned Parenthood vice president to be fired; prompted firings at National Public Radio, exposed the unsecured nature of the U.S. Mexico border by crossing into the U.S. dressed as Osama Bin Laden without being stopped, and currently has a video revealing Al Sharpton’s exploitation of recent tragedies.
He is James O’Keefe of Project Veritas and he will be the featured luncheon speaker at the 2015 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference on Saturday, April 18th. This year’s Pennsylvania Leadership Conference will be held April 17th and 18th at the Radisson Penn Harris Convention Center in Camp Hill (Harrisburg), Pennsylvania.

James O’Keefe is an award-winning journalist and writer. He is the founder of Project Veritas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to investigating corruption, dishonesty, was and fraud both in public and private institutions. His investigations have led directly to the passage of new legislation, federal and state investigations, congressional inquiries, the de-funding of taxpayer-funded groups, resignations, firings, re-trainings and disciplinary actions.
O’Keefe’s series on voter fraud exposes inspired several states to reform their election laws, forced resignations in Washington, and pushed FBI and Department of Justice officials to defend themselves before lawmakers. In 2014 he authored the New York Times bestseller Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose Fraud and Save Democracy.
O’Keefe joins a growing list of announced speakers for the 2015 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference include featured dinner speaker Sharyl Attkisson, author of the best-selling book Stonewalled; U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai, Phelim McAleer, producer of the film Gosnell, Brent Bozell from the Media Research Center, and John Gizzi of Newsmax.
