Mark Zaccaria Salutes College Republicans

Mark Zaccaria, candidate for US Congress in 2008, gave a short speech to members of the CRFRI at our annual convention today. "You are the one percenters of today," he said. "You will be knocking on doors and handing out literature every two years for the rest of your lives. And all of that is just how you get started as a one percenter."

Zaccaria talked about how the College Republicans are the next wave of candidates for every position starting at the local level and farther beyond. "..and when you get there you will count on the CRs to pass out the literature and make the phone calls."

"There is more to it then just process."

Mark laid out the necessity of a clear, coherent, and intelligent message for the Republican Party to get back in power.

College Republicans Are the Strongest Part of the Republican Party

Dr. Chris Ottiano, 2008 Republican candidate for Rhode Island State Senate, told the members of the CRFRI that he is nothing more then "a citizen and a tax payer." A physician, husband, and father thanked the College Republicans for all their support and work during his campaign.

Dr. Ottiano showed his concern for where the Republican Party stands today in politics. He outlined how we can changed the sentiment towards the party starting with the grass roots. "College Republicans aren't just a free source of labor," he said, They are "seeds in the forest." As a taxpayer and a voter Dr. Ottiano is extremely optimistic about the College Republicans and their role in Politics both in Rhode Island and around the country.

"You are the strongest part of the Republican Party."

CRFRI Convention Kicks Off With Viewing of 33 Minutes

As the CRFRI convention began today the First Vice Chairman, Barry Lucier, started a short clip of 33 Minutes, a movie about America's susceptibility to a nuclear strike.


What if a nuclear warhead exploded above the World Trade Center instead of a plane? It would only take about 33 minutes to be hit by an ICBM(Inter Continental Ballistic Missile). Are we safe?

Obama mocks Tea Party

Obama takes a wack at the Tea Party, mocking the protesters at a town hall meeting in St. Louis. I guess his handlers didn't tell him that he isn't campaigning anymore.
