Tim Pawlenty: Courage to Stand January 13, 2011

Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota and a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2012, will speak at a National Press Club luncheon. Pawlenty, who will leave the governor's office Jan. 3, will launch his book tour at the National Press Club for his memoir 'Courage to Stand.' In his book, Pawlenty tells his story of going from blue-collar South St. Paul to the governor's mansion, about his time as governor and shares his ideas for the direction of the country and how some of the things he's done in Minnesota might translate nationally. Pawlenty will sign copies of his book from 2 pm- 2:30 pm, after the luncheon. The National Press Club luncheon will begin promptly at 12:30 pm and Pawlenty's remarks will begin just after 1 pm, followed by a question-and-answer session.
