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