For the past three years, the College Republicans at Roger Williams University have held an annual fundraiser to help fund the club's events. This year, the fundraiser turned out the be the most successful fundraiser planned thus far, held at the local Elks in Bristol.
Alongside several of the CR members, members of the general public as well as a few famous faces showed up. Republican gubernatorial candidate John Robitaille as well as State Senator-Elect Chris Ottiano, State Representative-Elect Dan Gordon, and State Representative-Elect Dan Reilly all showed up during the course of the evening.
The fundraiser was successful to say the least and we thank all of our guests for attending as well as making donations to our club so we can continue to spread conservatism and take back a state in much need of fiscal restraint!

The Psycho in the Senate
After reading the title of the post, you're probably asking yourself "which psycho in the Senate?" Well, any politically-active person could named a few U.S. Senators who they feel have absurd views. However, in this specific case I am referring to Senator Jay Rockefeller[D-WV]. Rockefeller stated that he thought it would be a good idea for the government to just switch off FOXNEWS and MSNBC. What ever happened to freedom of speech and freedom of the press? Apparently, like many Democrats, has absolutely no respect for the United States Constitution.
"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller [D-WV]

"I Could Beat Him"
For those who don't know, Sarah Palin recently sat down with Barbara Walters to shoot an interview with ABC News to be air in early December. Palin stated that she was seriously considering making a run for the White House, and felt confident that she could beat Obama in 2012.
In my opinion, this is a big mistake. While Palin could quite possibly have a good chance at beating Obama, it's not worth the risk. Palin is a newcomer to national politics and has a less than positive image already associated with her by a large majority of Americans. She has been portrayed as inexperienced, incompetent, unintelligent, and unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief. I don't necessarily agree with these portrayals of here in their entirety, but I do feel she is not the topic choice for the Republican Party in 2012.
We hear wide array names being floated around for potential Republican nominees for the 2012 Presidential election, but who should we back? Only time will tell. People from Mitt Romney, to Mike Pence, to Jim DeMint all have been mentioned as potential presidential candidates, and I believe people like this would make a far better opponent to the President in 2012 than Sarah Palin.
