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.

Kentucky Republican Convention

On June 7th, we have been asked directly by the Republican Party of Kentucky to help run the Kentucky Republican Convention. We will be registering delegates, showing people where to go, passing out stickers for candidates and helping the RPK with anything they need help with.

This is WKU CR's time to shine!

We really need a lot of help on this one, so If you are within driving distance of Bowling Green, please consider coming in town for the weekend. I can find a place for you to stay if you would like.

Please let me know if you can help on June 7th ASAP!!!

Phone Bank

The McConnell campaign is looking for volunteers to help make phone calls to encourage people to get out and vote in the upcoming Kentucky primary. Volunteers are needed for Tuesday (May 6th) and Thursday (May 8th) of this week, and Monday and Tuesday (May 12th and 13th) of next week. We will be calling each night from 5-8 PM, but even if you can only help for an hour or two it would be greatly appreciated. The calls should be relatively easy as they are going to registered Republicans and will only consist of a couple of questions. If you are able to help or have any additional questions please contact Scott Lasley at lasleywarrengop@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!
