Featuring Honored Guest & World-Renowned Speaker: Dr. James Lindsay.
Citizens for a New Louisiana and New Discourses have joined forces to bring Dr. James Lindsay to Lafayette, Louisiana, on November 21st, 2024.
Citizens for a New Louisiana is excited to invite you to sponsor our Banquet and Silent Auction, Champions of Change: Spot-Lighting the Movement to de-woke government institutions. Our honored guest, James Lindsay, Ph.D., is a world-renowned Classical Liberalism and Enlightenment advocate who champions values like reason, individual rights, and free speech. Lindsay argues that Critical Theory, especially in modern iterations like Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender studies, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), etc., undermines traditional scholarship, science, and societal norms.
The founder of New Discourses, Dr. James Lindsay, is a vocal critic of modern educational and governmental policies that aim to reshape cultural norms through “Social Justice” frameworks. Dr. Lindsay, an author known for exposing the mechanisms of “Critical Social Justice,” will delve into how these ideologies are funded by tax dollars and implemented in our educational systems, public libraries, and government policies.

About Dr. James Lindsay:

An author, mathematician, and political commentator, Dr. James Lindsay has written eight books spanning a range of subjects, including education, postmodern theory, and critical race theory. Dr. Lindsay is the Founder of New Discourses, an organization dedicated to shining the light of objective truth in subjective darkness.

Secret Lunch with Congressman Clay Higgins
2025-06-20 12:00 - 13:30 | Deano’s Bertrand, 305 Bertrand Drive, Lafayette, LA, 70506, United States
Join us at DeanO’s on Bertrand Drive for Lunch with Congressman Clay Higgins this Friday, June 20th, 2025. Pizza will be provided for a recommended $20 donation.
About Congressman Clay Higgins
Louisiana didn’t send a politician to Washington—they sent a street cop. Known affectionately as “Uncle Clay” to the people of Acadiana, Congressman Clay Higgins represents Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District with the same grit and tenacity that defined his years in law enforcement. With a booming voice and an unflinching commitment to truth, justice, and the Constitution, Higgins has become a force to be reckoned with on the House floor.
When he descended into the belly of the beast—the sprawling leviathan that is the federal government—he vowed to fight for the people, not the politicians. A fierce defender of Constitutional conservatism, he frequently invokes the Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution itself to hold Washington accountable. His no-nonsense style and ability to cut through bureaucratic double-talk have made him a favorite among those who appreciate direct, unapologetic leadership.
With a law enforcement career rooted in service and integrity, Higgins was recently entrusted with leading an independent investigation into the assassination attempt on then-candidate Donald J. Trump, a testament to his fearless pursuit of truth and justice. Whether dismantling liberal narratives in heated committee hearings or standing firm against government overreach, his unmistakable presence continues to resonate both locally and nationwide.
At a time when America needs courageous voices, Clay Higgins remains a warrior for the Republic, never backing down from the fight to restore liberty, accountability, and the rule of law.

Secret Lunch with Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple
2025-08-22 11:30 - 13:00 | Fezzo’s in Broussard, 6701 Ambassador Caffery Pkw, Broussard, LA, 70518, United States
Will insurance rates finally start coming down?
Louisiana’s 2025 regular session put insurance and tort reform front and center, aiming to lower rates for families and businesses. Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple introduced a comprehensive package of more than 20 bills to address the crisis. Some made it across the finish line; others fell short.
Join us as Commissioner Temple breaks down what passed, what didn’t, and what reforms are still needed in future sessions.
This event is free to attend; however, please note that lunch is not included. Fezzo’s will provide full table service during the program, so you can order off the menu while we meet. Come early, grab a seat, and enjoy connecting with fellow conservatives. Most importantly, you’ll have a rare opportunity to ask the Commissioner your own insurance questions directly.

Bob McEwen Joins Champions of Change
2025-10-21 18:00 - 21:00 | City Club at River Ranch, 1100 Camellia Blvd, Lafayette, LA, 70508, United States
A Rare Evening with America’s Most Connected Conservative
The Man Who Witnessed History, Now Shaping America’s Future
The only American present in the Kremlin when the Soviet Union dissolved, Bob McEwen witnessed firsthand what it takes to defeat socialist regimes. Now, as Executive Director of the Council for National Policy, he leads over 400 of America’s most influential conservative leaders in the fight to restore our founding principles.
This October, New Louisiana Foundation brings you exclusive access to a man who operates in the most guarded circles of conservative strategy, circles the leftist press desperately tries to infiltrate but can never penetrate.
Extraordinary Access
Bob McEwen built his legacy in the rooms where decisions are made – rooms that the mainstream media would kill to gain access.
The Council for National Policy maintains such strict confidentiality that leftist reporters regularly attempt to sneak into their events, desperate for any glimpse inside conservative strategic planning. They fail because CNP’s security protocols are ironclad. Members are bound to keep their strategies confidential and away from hostile media.
You’ll hear from someone who rarely speaks publicly about the real work happening behind the scenes, work that shapes national conservative strategy while remaining invisible to the Left’s surveillance.
McEwen’s Unmatched Track Record
Elected to Congress at just 30, McEwen quickly became one of only four Republicans on the powerful House Rules Committee, managing nearly one-third of all Republican legislation. His National Strategy Act was credited by Defense Secretary Dick Cheney and General Norman Schwarzkopf as playing a significant role in the success of Operation Desert Storm.
McEwen’s most extraordinary moments came on the world stage:

August 23, 1989: With Senator Bob Dole, he witnessed Poland’s first non-Communist election, the spark that toppled the Berlin Wall 10 weeks later
1991: Official U.S. observer during the Soviet coup attempt
January 1992: The only American present in the Kremlin as the Soviet Union was dissolved

Today, from his Washington headquarters, McEwen continues this work through the Council for National Policy, a confidential network so exclusive that even its high-profile members are bound by strict secrecy.
A Timely Message for Louisiana
Louisiana faces the ghost of Huey Long’s socialism at every turn. We have the nation’s highest sales tax, a budget that is double that of similar states, yet we rank last in nearly every positive category and first in almost every negative one.
McEwen understands what Louisiana conservatives face because he’s witnessed socialism’s collapse firsthand. He’ll share insights on:

Exposing Government Overreach: How to shine light into bureaucracy’s dark corners (his specialty for over 30 years)
Defeating Socialist Expansion: Lessons from someone who literally watched it collapse in real time
Building Winning Networks: How today’s most effective conservative leaders coordinate strategy while staying invisible to hostile media
Restoring Individual Liberty: How faith, family, and free enterprise principles defeat government expansion

His 95% American Conservative Union lifetime rating and annual “Watchdog of the Treasury” awards prove he delivers results over rhetoric.
An Evening of Exclusive Access
At New Louisiana Foundation, we believe that shining a light into the dark corners of government is the first step toward reform. Bob McEwen embodies that same courage, fearlessly challenging the status quo while operating in circles the Left desperately wants to infiltrate.
This evening offers something the mainstream media would pay anything to access: unfiltered insight from someone at the center of national conservative strategy. You’ll walk away with a sense of connection to an exclusive network working to restore America’s founding principles.
Limited seating ensures an intimate setting where you can engage directly with one of America’s most connected conservative leaders.
