Gary Hart, former U.S. Senator from Colorado, will speak about "The New Security in the 21st Century" on Thursday, March 22, 7 p.m. in Coach Room D at the Hitching Post Inn in Cheyenne. The presentation, sponsored by the Wyoming Democratic Party, is free and open to the public. The Senator’s books will be on sale.
An author, lecturer, teacher, scholar, and attorney, this "elder" statesman shows no signs of slowing down. Most recently, Hart co-chaired both the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, which issued three public reports forecasting the age of terrorism and outlined a new, post-Cold War national security policy, as well as the Council on Foreign Relations task force on homeland security, which recently released its report "America: Still Unprepared, Still in Danger".
Hart is the author of more than a dozen books, including three novels (one co-authored with former Secretary of Defense William Cohen). In 2001, he earned a doctor of philosophy degree from Oxford University. His thesis, "Thomas Jefferson's Ideal of the Republic in 21st Century America", culminated a decade-long exploration of the idea of restoring the republican (small r) ideals of civic virtue and citizen duty. When published in book form in 2002, Restoration of the Republic completed a trilogy of works that began with The Patriot in 1996 and continued with The Minuteman in 1998. Throughout the trilogy, "Hart stresses the theme of republican restoration concurrent with a new definition of security that includes not only traditional national and homeland security, but also security of livelihood, security of community, and security of the natural environment."
