Have you clicked on the link at the top left of the page to make a donation to the Augustana College Republicans to attend CPAC in March? They’re at 47% of their $5000 goal. In case you’re wondering why:
One of the greatest opportunities for young conservatives to hit the ground running is the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, in Washington, D.C. in March, 2016. The conference hosts thousands of conservative leaders, and is even hosting a few of the Presidential Candidates who are fighting for Republican Nominee. CPAC is a bootcamp for young conservatives: it engages them in the political process, creates networks, and provides hands-on learning about how college students can relay their political experience and skills onto their campuses; thus sharing conservative values, engaging more students into one of most important parts of being an American citizen.
That’s where you come in. Augustana University Republicans want to take as many students as possible. Our goal is to take 18 students to Washington, D.C for four nights during the conference. We will use the funds to pay for flight tickets, transportation to and from the airport, and lodging.
As the conference is in Washington, D.C in March, we are trying to reach our goal of $5,000 by the end of January 2016 in order to book flights for 18 students. As any conservative knows, hard work and dedication will reap results. We know that with hard work and dedication, we can make this trip affordable for 18 college students.
It’s a far more educational experience than they could ever receive in a classroom with some liberal professor. It’s real, and you can help them achieve it.
Click on the image, or go here, and send them a few dollars to help them along their way. They are the party’s future, and you can help shape it.
Are not 2 pitches for funding enough for this group?
Does DWC get any portion of the funds raised as advertising?
I’m encouraging them because I encourage Republicans to come up through the ranks. That includes TAR’s and CR’s. Not only am I not charging them for the badge at the top of the page, which I put there on my own without their asking, I donated to them, and will likely do so again.
Don’t be such a cynic.
The Augie CRs work hard and get stuff done. They hosted one of the Debate Watch parties and I hope they will do so again early next year.
The good-standing of these kids has really been elevated in the days since they were publically excoriated on this blog for their cozy relationship with Mike Huether.
I note that at least one of the members of this group served as an intern in Senator Rounds office. As a result, they’ve become the equivalent of “made members” of the syndicate. In the future, PP will require a sit-down and approval from all of the SD crime families before writing derisive hit-piece blog posts about them.
