Take a Moment to Remember

 

From an enewsletter post at Susquehanna University:

“As students wake up and faculty return to campus on 9/11, they will notice 2,977 flags placed in grass near the fountain outside of Deg. Each flag commemorates a life lost seven years ago. The flags will remain in the grass for a few days to allow the campus community to take time to reflect on the events of the tragic day. The SU College Republicans acquired the flags, however a number of SU students helped the club members place them in the ground. Thank you to everyone who helped! ”

Please take a moment of silence to remember those whose lives were lost on this tragic day. No matter what political affliliation, this is a day to remember our friends and loved ones.

Sarah Palin

Anyone that knows me knows that I am as anti-feminist as it is possible to get.  I hate the idea of breaking up the family unit all in the name of “women empowerment” and abortion on demand.  I hate the “chickification”, as Rush Limbaugh terms it, of the male population because the feminazis take offense at men acting like men.

Recently, however, I have felt like a feminist.  I am almost ashamed to admit it.  Almost…The reason why I can admit that freely and hold my head high is two words:  Sarah Palin.

“Official Statement”

There have been several inquiries regarding our former executive director, Adam Laduca. After discussion with members of the board, Adam decided to step down from this organization. We will not be publishing Adam’s entire private letter to the board.

Adam’s remarks in other private blogs were the cause of his resignation. Adam apologized for these remarks, and to the board for any problems this may have caused anyone.

Upon his resignation, we removed him from the website, and from the blog. The PA Federation of College Republicans will continue to push for their Republican candidates and promote their ideals. We’ve encountered a small bump in the road, and we plan to move forward with tradition and integrity.

Sincerely,

Michael Ubbens
Co-Chairman

Obama/Biden?

Obama selected Biden for VP.  Does Barry remember that Joe said he wasn’t ready?

“The Presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.”

Mr. Biden, you are a political opportunist.  Why would you say yes to being the running mate of someone who you don’t think can cut it?

Pics! John McCain in Wilkes Barre/Scranton

Mike Ubbens and myself were able to go to a John McCain event about a month ago in Wilkes Barre/Scranton. Our crew of College Republicans were interviewed by local papers, NPR (did anyone hear me on NPR??), and The Wall Street Journal. Pretty exciting! I finally got the pictures on to the computer. It’s a good thing I am NOT going to school for photography. The only video I got was McCain blowing his nose so thats obviously not going up. Anyway here are the pictures for your viewing pleasure :)

My advice: Get out there! Get to events! If you feel comfortable do some interviews but always be polite, educated on the topic and well spoken :) Check out this picture. CR’s totally took over the stage!

Russia Invades Georgia: What Does This Mean for America?

As the world turns its head towards Beijing, Russia has seized the opportunity of an occupied limelight and invaded Georgia. I cannot say I’m surprised. Just the hour or so of research I’ve done on the Ossetia-Georgia conflict shows that something was eventually to happen. With no ceasefire in sight and the quick advance of Russian troops beyond South Ossetia, things may escalate further.

American Soldier’s E-mail

Last week I received this e-mail and I knew right away that I had to post it. This e-mail is from an American Soldier that is not overly involved in politics, but this was his big step into it. Obama is a liar and personally, I don’t want a president that is a liar. If I ever met Sen. Obama, my serious question to him would be, “Who wouldn’t want to spend time with our troops?” They fight for OUR freedoms! So…here’s the e-mail:

PA Federation of College Republicans Endorse Thought! Creative and Introduce Special Website Offer for State Federations

The PA Federation of College Republicans announced today their official endorsement of Thought! Creative, the company behind the recently-debuted PACR website (www.pacollegerepublicans.com), as well as a personal endorsement of the site’s creator, Vincent Arezzi.

State Chairman Anthony Pugliese stated, ”We were very pleased with the website developed by Thought! Creative. The quality of work and attention to detail exceeded our expectations”.

Through our partnership with Thought! Creative, the PA CRs have negotiated a special offer for any state organization looking to enhance their presence on the web.  Any State CR Federation looking for functionality similar to the PA Website but with their own unique design can have it for under $2,000. This package would include a Home page, Board Member Bios page, Events List page (with google calendar integration), a contact page, donate page, sign-up page, youtube, flickr, google analytics and wordpress integration.

State Co-Chairman Mike Ubbens commented, “Our previous website had very little traffic and was difficult to update. Now we can easily update the events in Google calendar and add blog posts as we desire.  Our traffic has improved greatly and our blogging community is growing.

For more details on this package please contact Thought! Creative at info@thoughtcreative.com and ask for the “State CR package”.

Obama Flips, Now to Back Offshore Drilling, Maybe

“Shifting from his previous opposition to expanded offshore drilling, the Illinois senator told a Florida newspaper he could get behind a compromise with Republicans and oil companies to prevent gridlock over energy.”

A little too late, Senator. He conveniently waited until the house Dems shut the lights off on the house Republicans to announce this CHANGE. This is politics as usual.

McCain Surges to 4-Point Lead

I found this relevant to previous comments to one of my posts. I find it to no surprise that McCain made this jump in the polls. He’s been doing the right things - being honest with the people. Is the American public realizing who Senator Barack Obama really is?

I hope so. Only time will tell.
