More Alumni News

Here is a brief from the "Dave Talan Newsletter" about former RWU CR Chair Jason Mattera:

JASON MATTERA, former Chair of the Roger Williams University College Republicans and state Chair of the College Republican Federation of R.I., now works in D.C. as the national spokesman for Young America's Foundation (YAF), America's leading conservative youth organization.

Jason recently wrote his first book, "OBAMA ZOMBIES, How The Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation". The publisher, Simon & Schuster, describes the book as follows: "The behind the scenes story of the jaw-dropping lengths Barack Obama and his Liberal Machine went to create a legion of iPod-listening, MTV-watching Obama followers on whom to build a winning electoral coalition - and a potentially long-lasting political realignment in American politics. More than just a polemical book of cutting commentary, Obama Zombies uncovers the true story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign unleashed on youth culture. Chock full of personal interviews and mountains of original research, this book uses the energy of Jason Mattera's trademark YouTube-style video "Ambush Interviews" to expose the hypocrisy of clueless young liberals and lazy Democratic officials."

The book will be available in bookstores and on-line on March 30.
