Veteran Georgia journalist Phil Kent will be speaking to the breakfast meeting of the Fayette Republican Party Saturday at 9 a.m. at the IHOP in Fayetteville.

A veteran award-winning journalist, Kent was an editorial writer, editorial page editor, and political columnist for The Augusta Chronicle for 25 years. In 1981-82, Phil served in Washington, D.C., as press secretary and public affairs advisor to the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.). Afterward he returned to The Augusta Chronicle as editorial page editor and traveled extensively around the globe and filed columns.

Kent will be talking about his latest book, “Foundations of Betrayal: How the Liberal $uper-Rich Undermine America.” His thesis: the awesome power of unaccountable, tax-exempt, left wing foundations has grown to the point of becoming virtually a shadow government operation in America.

The informal breakfast meeting is open to the public and is held the first Saturday of every month. For more information contact the Fayette GOP headquarters at 770-716-1545.
