Hello College Republicans, and welcome back!
I hope all of you had a wonderful break, are well-rested, and ready to get back to work for the Republican cause!
Our chapter has seen great success over the past month and I would like to share some of our accomplishments with you. First and foremost, we have a brand new website! Kudos go to our Executive Director Shay Frendt, who dedicated over 20 hours to the creation of this new site.
Three Fridays ago, a dozen College Republicans met to put together and mail out fundraising letters to over 400 Georgia Republicansmet to put together and mail out fundraising letters to over 400 Georgia Republicans. We have already had a great response, and continue to receive donations each day. Many thanks to our Treasurer Preston Mintz for organizing this fundraising campaign and to each of you who took the time to help with this important fundraiser!
March 5-7, PR Director Jeff Emanuel and I attended the American Israel Public Affairs Comittee's "Policy Conference 2006" in Washington, D.C. where we learned a great deal about Israel's continued struggle against Iran and Hamas. This was an excellent conference and I encourage any of you interested in this pressing issue to attend next year. If you would like more information, please contact either Jeff at jemanuel@uga.edu or myself at katiemf@uga.edu. While at the Capitol, we also met with several of the Congressional offices, including Rep. Jack Kingston, Sen. Johnny Isakson, and Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who have all shown great support for our chapter and now follow our progress with great interest.
Most recently, Jeff Emanuel has been published twice on Townhall.com. I invite all of you to look at his columns and the hundreds of comments written in response from citizens all over the country. Please click on the following links to view his columns:
We have a great deal to look forward to over the upcoming weeks as well! This Wednesday we will hear from Summit Seminars: Foundations in Finance and Self, where Ms. Van Flanigan will provide an information session on her course on financial management. As College Republicans, fiscal responsibility is a key conservative value and Ms. Flanigan offers to teach each of you how to manage your money wisely and how YOU can be in charge of your hard-earned money.
We will be hosting a debate between the GOP Secretary of State candidates, state Senator Bill Stephens and Fulton County Chairman Karen Handel, and will also be hearing from former Senior Airman Jeff Emanuel on his experience as a Special Operator in the War on Terror, candidates for Lt. Governor, state Sen. Casey Cagle and former President of the Christian Coalition Dr. Ralph Reed.
Thanks to all of you for your continued hard work! I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming meetings, Wednesday evenings at 7:00 in room 207 of the SLC.
All my best,
Katie M. Flanigan, Chairman
