Hey all,
As I mentioned at our last meeting, the Conservative Political Action Conference is something you should all keep in mind. Last year, I had a blast at CPAC. It is a great chance to get free stuff, hear conservative leaders speak, and have fun. Conservatives from around the nation will descend on DC for the three day event, and hopefully you will consider joining me in DC February 18th-20th at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.
Last year, speakers included House Minority Leader John Boehner, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, Vice President of the NRA Wayne La Pierre, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Commitee, Senator John Cornyn, Congressman Pence, and Rush Limbaugh, just to name a few.
Additionally, Gary and myself have been working hard to find tours that we can bring members of our chapter on while we are in DC. Hopefully we can secure a tour of the Capitol Dome, but other options include tours of the White House, U.S. Capitol Building, Library of Congress, or Supreme Court. I cannot request these tours, however unless you are willing to travel to DC and are committed to attending CPAC.
If you are interested in attending CPAC, registration is $25 for students. It’s a real bargain because it normally costs $175 to register. I encourage everyone who is interested, to register early. When details about the conference’s speakers become available, I will let you all know who will be speaking. You can register and get more information at http://www.cpac.org If you do decide to register, and would like to attend a tour, please let me know ASAP with proof of registration and what kind of tour you would prefer. Please note, however, I cannot guarantee a tour, but I will do my best to set you up.
We are not sure if this will be an official SHUCRs event yet, as we are looking for a faculty advisor to chaperone us if we go as a club. If you would like more information, feel free to contact me with your questions.
Sincerely,
Brenden Higashi
