Organizers see the conference as especially timely with the battle over Terri Schiavo's life, the state court decision voiding California's defense of-marriage law, the uncertain fate of Bush judicial nominees and the pending Supreme Court decision on public display of the Ten Commandments.
The conference will prepare a declaration of principles, an action program and a structure for future activities.

Rick Scarborough, temporary chairman of the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration, organizer of the event, said it will be an action-oriented conference.
"Our purpose is to draw up a plan of action to oppose the liberal judges who are abrogating our most precious human rights – including the right to life," he said. "Out of it will come a coalition of family groups, ministries and churches dedicated to reversing the tide of the past 40 years."
