Welcome everyone to Family Talk.

It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute,

supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us. Well, welcome to a very special edition of Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr James

Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh.

Joined in studio today by Gary Bauer.

Gary is our Senior Vice President of Public Policy.

Here at the Dr. James Dobson

policy center Gary it's good to have you on the program today.

Hey great to be with you as always Roger this these are exciting times

they certainly aren't as a matter of fact we were together a couple of weeks ago and we're going to hear some of what we heard at what we call the gathering event.

It's a event here in Colorado Springs that brings together friends of the ministry.

And boy, did we bring a speaker lineup I don't

think I've ever seen one top to bottom and I'm saying that because one of the guys

who was on the lineup was Gary Bauer I mean Gary was right smack dab in the

middle of this but I don't think I've ever seen a stronger lineup from start to end at any event that I've ever been at.

Well, you know on the first night, Roger, we had just an incredible lineup. People would pay thousands of dollars to go here the

three speakers we had I spoke the next day and I got to be honest with you I

think I do a pretty good job giving his speech, but when I was listening to the people that night, I was thanking God I wasn't on the same night. I would have people to be able to have a good night sleep. And then maybe they wouldn't be remembering those great speeches

when I got up the next morning.

Yeah, well, Eric Botaxes was there talking about the letter
