IT'S OFFICIAL: 2011 AMERICAN RENAISSANCE CONFERENCE CANCELED!

The following is the email being sent out to those registered to the 2011 American Reniassance Conference. On the day that Charlotte gained the 2012 Democratic Convention, they lost another, less significant conference. The American Renaissance Conference will be forgotten by Charlotte soon, and we don’t believe that Jared Taylor will have much to work way regarding a lawsuit. For the second time AmRen was stopped, and this will continue to be the case so long as people make it clear that they or their community will not have anything to do with the likes of the scum that attend these things. And as a symbolic note: February 4th, the day that AmRen was to start, is the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the Confederate States of America. Now on that day we can reflect on how we kept that old South from rising again. And screw that nonsense about them not having their freedom of speech. Were it not for them using it, we would not have known just how sick and depraved those attendees are. And to that end we all used our freedom of speech to win the day. Meanwhile as it goes with white supremacists, while they crow about all the publicity they received in all of this, our mission benefits from that publicity more than theirs. If we were afraid that people would know about them, we would have tried other approaches this past decade. But we don’t because sunlight is the best disinfectant – and it all but killed this germ.

Jared Taylor, Editor American Renaissance

Dear Conference Registrant,

I am very sorry to inform you that the AR conference scheduled for February 4 through 6 must be canceled. Despite strong assurances that it would not submit to pressure, the hotel with which we had initially contracted has broken its contract with us. We have investigated many possible alternative venues but have not been able to find one.

There is evidence that at least one elected Charlotte official was working behind the scenes to deny us a venue, and our legal counsel is looking into grounds for action against the city.

We are deeply sorry for the great inconvenience this causes you, and I apologize to you personally. As the head of the publication that organized this conference, the fault is entirely mine.

At your instruction we will, of course, refund all registrations and banquet fees.

Many of you will have bought non-refundable air tickets. Generally, the amount spent on such tickets can, for a period of a year, be used to buy a different ticket on the same airline. However, most airlines then deduct $150 from the amount that can be spent to buy the new ticket. If you bought a non-refundable ticket, please send us proof of purchase and we will send you a check for $150. We do not want anyone to suffer financial loss because of this cancellation.

We have heard that because of the impending storms, some airlines are offering full refunds on “non-refundable” tickets. This offer may not apply to tickets for February 4, but it may be worth inquiring.

We are considering alternative models for future American Renaissance conferences.

Again, please accept my sincerest apologies. We greatly value your continuing support, and deeply regret that we will not be seeing you on February 4.

Warm regards,

Jared Taylor
