Karen has a love for young people.  She directs and coordinates the student leadership program of CRI, which involves speaking at local high schools, conducting “Class at the Capitol” and the weeklong “City on the Hill” summer leadership conference.  Karen began her active involvement in public policy issues as a volunteer for Concerned Women for America and Eagle Forum as their Legislative Liaison.  She joined these groups because she was outraged by the anti-family policies and wanted to make a difference for her own children and all posterity. Karen is married with a daughter and 3 stepchildren.  Karen is a lively and informative speaker who passionately shares her vision for people making a difference in their community.

Doris Pop, 13, is in eighth grade at Cornerstone Christian School in Roseville, CA.  Her father spent three years in prison in Romania for refusing to renounce His faith in Christ and for not stopping his witnessing.  Doris was born in America after her parents immigrated here.  Two of her favorite activities include Project Truth outreaches and pageants. She has been participating in the Christian based American Coed Pageant system for only two years now, and has already won the title of Miss Roseville, CA 2004 this past July.  Unlike most pageants, this organization does not have a swimsuit competition or judging based on outward beauty.  Instead, you are required to make speeches, give presentations, show talents, and have personal interviews with each of the judges. Their goal is to provide girls of all ages with an activity that stresses education, love of country, and commitment to church and family.  Although people involved with the pageant counseled her to say nothing about her pro-life work, she boldly kept it in her speech each time she has competed.  She placed 3rd Runner Up to for the Miss Northern California competition and was 1st Runner-Up in the Speech Competition for that same event.
