This week, Mine Your Own Business returned to Washington for a two-day marathon of screenings--and met with spectacular success. On Wednesday, the minority staff of the House Natural Resources Committee hosted a screening for 50 Capitol Hill staffers. Later that day, the Heritage Foundation, Ethics & Public Policy Center, and Institute on Religion and Democracy co-hosted a screening at the Heritage Foundation. Open to the public, the screening drew a crowd of more than 100 people. On Thursday, Cato's Center for Global Liberty & Prosperity hosted a thirdscreening for an audience of over 75 international policy experts.
Attendees included not only Congressional staffers and policy experts, but also civil servants from many government departments (including Commerce and Energy) and representatives from the Chilean embassy, George Soros' Open Society Institute, and the American Petroleum Institute. Many people requested copies of the DVD and plan to show it to their colleagues and communities.
