    <title>Floyd and Mary Beth Brown's Townhall.com Column</title>
    <description>Floyd and Mary Beth Brown are both bestselling authors and speakers. 

Time magazine wrote of Floyd: "Brown has stature among devoted conservatives that almost matches his physical heft (6 ft. 6 in. and 240 lbs.)" Together they write a weekly column about politics, culture and the economy for www.caglepost.com. They also blog at www.2minuteview.com. 

Mary Beth's latest book, Condi: Life of a Steel Magnolia was published by Thomas Nelson. www.condibook.com. Her book Hand of Providence: the Strong and Quiet Faith of Ronald Reagan appeared on both The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists in 2004. 

Floyd is president of Excellentia Inc., a consulting company specializing in new media, and philanthropy for conservatives. www.excellentiainc.com. 

From 2001 until 2006 he served as the executive director of Young America's Foundation, which saved Rancho del Cielo, Ronald Reagan's Ranch and Western White House. As executive director Brown oversaw the preservation of the historic ranch home and the building of the $20 million Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, California. 

In 1988, working from their kitchen table, they formed Citizens United and Floyd served as its President until 2001. Citizens United is the largest and most effective conservative citizens' action organization in America. 

They have both written extensively for many publications including the San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Times, National Review and Human Events.
