Making Your Government Work for You! Having worked in President Reagan’s and President Bush 41’s White Houses, as counsel to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert for several years, and most recently, as President George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement from 2003-2005 for Colin Powell, Robert Charles offers a unique opportunity to hear how government can work for you – whether in procurement, appropriations, legislation, or regulation. Current, exhilarating and humorous, he is a sure success for a corporate, convention or academic setting. Where Will Islamic Terrorists Hit Next? Having served in two White Houses, President Reagan’s and President George H.W. Bush’s, for one US House Speaker, Dennis Hastert, and with Colin Powell at the US State Department as Assistant Secretary of State, charged with training the Iraqi and Afghan Police, Robert B. Charles is uniquely positioned to speak about the potential threats to heartland America from Islamic terrorists. He is also a Navy Reservist who served active duty after 9-11, and has wrote the seminal volume on Narcotics and Terrorism, in 2004. Will the next event be in a major US coastal city or in the heartland? Will it be cyber-terrorism, agro-terrorism, or a weapon of mass destruction? Are the vulnerabilities known, and are they being addressed? Charles delivers a realistic picture of present possibilities, with a solid and uplifting message of US commitment to anticipate, meet and beat these threats where they originate – from the Near East to this hemisphere. He will leave you riveted, better informed and – oddly – more hopeful about the future. What You Don’t Know Can Kill Are you concerned for kids today? Do you know the real impact of 100% available, 100% pure and 100% deadly drugs in your own community? Do you know what is happening in your state? Or what can you do about the rising threat? Exactly what are the real facts? Why is drug legalization absolutely not an option? Where does all that drug money go? How does that affect our national security? And what can corporate leaders, community leaders, teachers, principals, superintendents, policy makers, and parents do to turn back this hidden – and rising – threat to our next generation of Americans? Robert B. Charles, former top staffer to the US House Speaker’s Task Force on a Drug Free America, former Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics under Colin Powell, former White House staffer for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush 41, award-winning Harvard University Extension School Professor in 2000, author of Narcotics and Terrorism, and widely read columnist – can walk you through the threats, facts, best ways to educate, solutions and answers, details that few know, and how lives can be saved in this area. He will leave you riveted, better informed and – oddly – more hopeful about the future. Why Do Companies Fail to Get Federal Dollars: With experience in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the Federal Government, receiving appropriations requests and pressing them from within and outside the Federal Government, Robert B. Charles offers the inside track to the Federal Market! Having worked in President Reagan’s and President Bush 41’s White Houses, as counsel to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert for several years, and most recently, as President George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement from 2003-2005 for Colin Powell, Robert Charles offers a unique opportunity to hear how government can work for you – whether in procurement, appropriations, legislation, or regulation. Current, exhilarating and humorous, he is a sure success for a corporate, convention or academic setting. Following Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan: A recognized author on Theodore Roosevelt, who worked in the White Houses of President Reagan and President Bush 41, was counsel to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert and, most recently, served as President George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement under Colin Powell, Robert Charles presents a strong pitch for rethinking the direction of the Republican party – melding a strong empowerment agenda and assertive moral authority with greater outreach to minorities, market-led protection of the environment, and public diplomacy. A unique blend of Edmund Burke and traditional thinking from the Founding Fathers, market-oriented solutions to intergenerational problems, moral leadership, oversight of government and a Powell-like view of the World – produce a riveting argument for taking the bull by the horns and defining the party as in ways that will attract unprecedented new adherents. Current, exhilarating and humorous, he is a sure success for a political, academic, corporate or convention setting. Why Ronald Reagan, Edmond Burke, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and the Founding Fathers – were Conservatives and NOT Neo-conservatives A recognized author on Theodore Roosevelt, who worked in the White Houses of President Reagan and President Bush 41, was counsel to US House Speaker Dennis Hastert and, most recently, served as President George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement under Colin Powell, Robert Charles presents a strong case for carefully reviewing what it means to be “conservative” in modern – and historical – terms. He presses the case for a return to thinking about the world in optimistic, not hegemonic; intergenerational and diplomatic, not incessantly military; traditional and moral, but not un-listening and deterministic terms. A Naval Reservist who was active duty after 9-11, as well as writer and teacher on government oversight, security and cyberlaw, he is a forward thinker who makes the audience Examine what it means to hold a political philosophy – and what the implications are for lumping traditional conservatives together with the newly fashioned “neo-conservative” movement. Current, exhilarating and humorous, he is a sure success for a political, academic, corporate or convention setting.
