WKU CR's help with the Republican State Convention

On Saturday Andrew Denney, Sara Miller, John Whitaker, and Shane Noem helped Mitch McConnell for Senate, Guthrie for Congress, Northup for Congress and McCain for president for their efforts with stickers and registration. Of the countless dignitaries that spoke, the more prominent ones included Secretary of State Trey Grayson, Senator Jim Bunning, Congressman Geoff Davis, State Senator Brett Guthrie, State Senate President David Williams, RNC Chairman Mike Duncan, Former White House Deputy Political adviser to the President Scott Jennings, and many others. There was a large ruckus created when Ron Paul supporters tried to make points of orders on the convention floor for various reasons. This eventually led to RPK Chairman Steve Robertson to remove the microphones from the floor and throw several people out of the convention. An unprecedented event for sure.

Western Students Meet McCain

As John McCain came to Nashville for a town hall meeting, so did the WKU College Republicans. Sara Miller, Jon Moore, Nicole Aho, Shane Noem, and Derek Noem were privileged to hear Senator McCain respond to audience members questions, and shake the Senators hand. Senator McCain has challenged Senator Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, to a series of forums similar to the one witnessed last Monday.
