Travis Rowley, former Brown University student and Chairman of the Young Republicans has published a new book - an idictment of the Democratic Party in Rhode Island - titled "The Rhode Island Republican."
Helen Glover, host of the Helen Glover Show on 920 WHJJ said, "I can't imagine a more concise, coherent and hard-hitting synopsis of Rhode island politics. This should be required reading for every Rhode Island reader."
Gov. Donald Carcieri (R), Governor of Rhode Island said, "Travis Rowley will have everyone debating about Rhode Island politics with his provocative writing. Agree or disagree, he will shake things up in a state that has been Democrat controlled for too long."
Visit www.travisrowley.com to order your copy today! I highly recommend this book to any local activist, College Republican, or Rhode Island citizen who cares about the direction of their state!
Commentary and analysis on all things political. A blog sponsored by the College Republicans at Roger Williams University.

What Happend to our Founding Fathers?
Ok so this message was at the bottom of a Tea Party email that I received.........I sparred you the rest of the information that was in that email, but I thought that this message was very interesting and wanted to share it with you:
"And for those of you interested, here is the essay on what happened to those brave men that "mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured
before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving
in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the
Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were
farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated, but
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his Ships
swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties
to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move
his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and
his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and
poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.
He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed
his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their
13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid
to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning
home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they
paid."

Maine Congresswoman Votes Against Funding
My youngest brother is just about to begin his enlistment in the United States Army. He leaves mid-August for boot camp. I have made many friends throughout college who have enlisted, been commissioned, and even attend the Naval Academies who are smart and very brave individuals. They are responsible and selfless. It is such a smack in the face for MY Congresswoman to show her dislike for the war this way. I am ashamed.
