I am currently waiting for the start of the GACR Convention this evening (where yours truly will say a few words about the fine state of Georgia College Republicans and discuss some CRNC programs).

After meeting with some folks this morning I have made my way to National Treasurer Esther Clarks couch to drop a few lines about this weekends events. GACR is expecting 80 people for tonights dinner and 100 for tomorrows business meeting.  Speakers include State Party Chairman Sue Everhart, Lt Governer Casey Cagle, Ralph Reed (a CRNC Alum) and several others.

Esther is unopposed in her second term as State Chairman.  Her ticket includes Jesse Tyler (Vice-Chairman),  and Michelle Timmins (Financial Secretary).  Interestingly GACR  has only 3 elected offices.

Why it Rocks to be a Field Rep

Fortune magazine has a great piece on Sen. McCain’s Healthcare plan.  It is important that as a party we take the hint from public opinion polls: Americans want a plan to solve the healthcare crisis!  We have an excellent opportunity here to define the context of real solutions: are we going to have free market healthcare, where doctors and patients make decisions? or are we going to bow to D.C. beauracrats.  We need to be talking about this, and we need to be loud.

Facebook now allows you to use Republican Party as a political designation for your profile.  Show you colors today!

The AZ CR federation has endorsed their guy:
