James
O'Keefe is the Founder and President of Project Veritas, a non-profit
organization dedicated to developing a national network of effective and
courageous undercover citizen journalists. O'Keefe's groundbreaking
investigations have exposed corruption and malfeasance in major
taxpayer-funded institutions, including ACORN, Planned Parenthood,
public education, labor unions, NPR, Medicaid, Organizing for America,
State Election Divisions, Obamaphones, and many other organizations. And
this crucial work continues.
O'Keefe's undercover investigations
have generated media firestorms that frequently prompt state
investigations, federal inquiries, and congressional action.
Investigations into entitlements have led to worker retrainings, firings
and criminal investigations by authorities. Recently, O'Keefe's voter
fraud exposés inspired several states to reform their election laws,
induced high-level resignations in Washington, and forcing FBI and
Department of Justice officials to defend themselves before lawmakers.
Even
the left-Nation wrote, "O'Keefe's influence on voting rights opponents
and legislators alike is particularly jarring." Slate conceded, "O'Keefe
has had more of an impact on the 2012 election than any other
journalist." And O'Keefe succeeded despite constant threats of legal
action from embarrassed State Attorney Generals and relentless
defamation from major media.
In 2013, O'Keefe authored The New
York Times bestselling book Breakthrough: Our Guerilla War to Expose
Fraud and Save Democracy, which tells the true story of subverting a
corrupt and complacent media establishment, surviving many gratuitous
legal challenges, and restoring truth to journalism by successfully
pioneering a new form of guerilla reporting.
O'Keefe is a
graduate of Rutgers University. A congressional resolution was
introduced in 2009 with 31 cosponsors praising him for his work. He is
the recipient of the Robert Novak Award for Journalistic Excellence
(2011), has been named "Fox News Power Player of the Week" twice by
Chris Wallace, and was placed on the Forbes 30 under 30 for media
moguls.
James O'Keefe is one of several speakers coming to
