Republican Resurgency: NJ + VA Taken, CR’s take action

November 4, 2009 – Yesterday Republican candidates won election in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. These victories have sent out a clear and profound message: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FAR FROM OBSOLETE. Many times in the second half of the twentieth century has the liberal media and intellectual elites declared the death of the Republican Party or the Conservative movement, most notably with the election of Jimmy Carter. After the 2008 election with Democrats in control of both houses of Congress and the White House the liberal establishment again declared the Republican Party to be a splintered and geographically isolated party in the south. Yesterday they were conclusively proven wrong.

With election momentum building for the Republican Party and the conservative movement more inflamed than ever with the power of the Tea Party’s and a massive growth in College Republican involvement 2010 will mark a massive comeback predicated. Republicans nationally and here in Rhode Island, retaining our core beliefs in small government, civil rights and a moral society, will attract voters who can no longer suffer the fiscal insanity or moral depravity advocated by the Democrats in Washington and in Providence. The CRFRI and I extend special recognition to the College Republicans of New Jersey, Virginia and those from all states who participated in the College Republican National Committee’s deployment efforts. These efforts, particularly in New Jersey, certainly contributed substantially to Republican victory and inspire College Republicans everywhere to prepare for a massive political effort in 2010. Rhode Island will be no exception as we orchestrate an unprecedented youth volunteer effort to achieve victories throughout the northeast. I congratulate the Republican candidates, all who were involved in their campaigns and all who share our values on these historic victories.

Regards,
Jon Conradi
Chairman, College Republican Federation of Rhode Island
