One of the luminaries in the Esparza Speakers cadre of outstanding speakers, is Betsy McCaughey. In addition to speaking before a wide variety of audiences, Betsy is the founder/chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths, and a tireless advocate for patients rights, medical excellence and personal liberty. She is also a Constitutional historian, published author, popular pundit on various radio and TV talk shows, and an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute.

This Sunday, Valentine's Day, Betsy will not only keynote an event for the Queens Village Republican Club, in Queens, New York, but that organization - the oldest Republican club in the country - will present her with American Freedom Award.

A former Lt. Governor of New York, Betsy stays on the front lines of the ongoing fight for safety in our healthcare system and patient rights. She is also committed to exposing the dangers of federal health bills. Betsy is one of the few individuals to immediately read through the thousands of page of proposed legislation that comprised the House and Senate healthcare bills in late 2009. She was seen in a variety of venues, as well as TV and radio, explaining in plain talk the impact that these bills would have on our country's healthcare system, as well as our Constitutional rights and the pocketbooks of American citizens.

Congratulations, Betsy!
