Seton Hall University College Republicans E-Board w/ Jay Webber

Last night, NJGOP Chairman and Assemblyman for the 26th District, Jay Webber came out and spoke at our inaugural meeting of the 09-10 school year.

Jay Webber spoke out about the gubernatorial race in NJ this year, between Republican Chris Christie and incumbent Democrat Jon Corzine. Jay kept his presentation very topical, talking about how he wants to fix the economy of NJ, where Corzine has created a $9 billion dollar deficit. Additionally, Corzine has raised property taxes 17%, making it more and more expensive to live in NJ. Webber envisions lowering the taxes so that NJ student residents can stay in NJ after graduation and find jobs in their home state.

This is a really exciting race for NJ Republicans, who haven’t won a statewide race since 1997. Jay mentioned that the election is a means to an end, not an end in itself and that the work doesn’t end once the race is won…it’s just the beginning.

First let me welcome you to the official website of the Seton Hall College Republicans.

The beauty of this forum is that we can have our own place and our own voice to express how we feel on vital issues facing our university, our state, our nation and our world.

The executive board and I have been working all summer to come up with a plan for this semester so that we can accomplish the following goals:

1. Get Chris Christie elected governor.
2. Contribute to electoral victories in New Jersey Legislative Districts 36, 27, 26, 25; Morris County; Sussex County; Essex County; Bergen County and elsewhere.
3. Host Republican / Conservative speakers on campus.
4. Co-host debates with the other political clubs on campus.
5. Prove that the Seton Hall Community has a strong and active Republican party presence.

At a later date we will be posting our full calender for the semester, including a visit from the Chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party, Jay Webber, on September 16th.

I look forward to a great year.

Sincerely,

Gary R. La Spisa, II

President, Seton Hall College Republicans

Below the break is the Transcript of the speech that sparked the comeback.  The speech that, then Governor of California, Ronald Reagan gave at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 1975.  In the wake of a disastrous election, Ronald Reagan gave these words which echo even louder today.
