CPAC Costs

Gary La Spisa II — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 21:12:04 +0000

The final cost for CPAC comes to $90 per person. We cannot pay for the hotel rooms until you have paid your portion of the rooms because we need to have the money in our account before we can get final authorization to book the room. Please pay Rickey Santussuo (richard.santosusso@student.shu.edu) as soon as possible. We would like to book the hotel rooms next Monday, so try to get us the money before then. If you are unable to pay the $90 before then, please contact myself or Rickey asap so we can try to work something out. As a reminder, you are responsible for your registration fees, which you should have already paid, as well as food, drink and any transportation fees you incur in DC itself (mainly the Metro). Also, the plan is to carpool to DC and back. Expect to leave Seton Hall Wednesday, Feb. 17th and return Saturday, Feb 20th.

Speaking of CPAC, conservative comedian P.J. O’Rourke gave a great speech at the convention back in 1995, I believe. This one is a gem and I hope we can see a speech half as good in February.

Replace “Clinton” with “Obama” and you have a great commentary on today’s outlook!

CPAC 2010

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
