Brian A. Iannucci is an entrepreneur from Jacksonville, Florida. With a B.A. in political science from the University of Florida and a M.B.A. from Liberty University, he attacks the political problems of the day with a common-sense approach. Brian brings a business-like approach to politics that is a refreshing change from the status quo.
Brian is a fun, enthusiastic, and interactive speaker that brings his vast knowledge of today's political climate combined with a foundation rooted in conservative principles. During his presentation he discusses the impact of political policy, political correctness, and the future of American Politics.
While discussing his book. The P.C. Fraud: Political Correctness in American Politics, Brian brings real world examples of political fraud, politicians misleading the people, and abuses of power that are in direct contradiction with the best interests of the American people.
In either a lecture setting, or a round table discussion with questions and answers, Brian brings the audience to the realization that ideas and facts are the important deciding factors in politics. Further, he discusses the fact that those who do not rely on facts and ideas, but rather on rhetoric and spin, are bringing about a political climate that is creating more political correctness, and thereby increasing the chance that more government waste and political corruption.

Hailed as a “truth-telling visionary” by Brass Magazine and a “lyrical prophet” by the Caymanian Compass, CARLOS ANDRÉS GÓMEZ is a leading voice at the forefront of the oral poetry movement. The iconic slam poet, actor, and playwright is a Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poet and 2006 International Poetry Slam Champion. A proud Latino and native New Yorker, Carlos co-stars in Spike Lee’s #1 blockbuster smash hit film “INSIDE MAN” with a leading role alongside Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, and Clive Owen.
Called a “must-see” and given five out of five stars by Hairline Magazine in England, he has performed at over 100 colleges and universities and toured across North America, Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa.

Their much lauded performance, featured as part of the Nuyorican Poets Café’s “Aloud and Alive at 35” anniversary show, received a standing ovation from the sold-out audience.
