News like this is just too bad. I used to kinda like Mayor Bloomberg. I mean sure he was a squish on the issues, but you sorta have to be in order to win in NYC (Rudy aside, things were a little different then with the high crime and poor economy).

But now, Bloomberg is funding a 527 that is attacking Republican candidates that support the 2nd Amendment. You know, people that are supporting the Constitution. Yep, he’s droping untold sums to punish Congressmen in tight races who are simply doing their job in defending our freedoms.

Of course, if Reps. Feeney, Chabot, and Knollenberg go down on November 4th, Bloomberg will claim credit for it. And he might be right to do so. With close races around the nation, a big $ drop in the last few days might be enough to sink ships that otherwise would have weathered the storm.

Now, I don’t go hunting every week or drive down to the range to unload into a target – I really just don’t have time right now. Hopefully, later on I will find the time to enjoy some target practice or some skeet shooting. But this isn’t just about our ability to enjoy a couple fun hobbies. This is about respecting the right of an individual to keep and bear arms as defined in our Constitution.

Democrats have long been known to drop certain lines in the Constitution and add others when they saw fit. At least Mayor Bloomberg isn’t a Republican anymore.

When Ms. Todd initially contacted us claiming to have been attacked our first reaction was obviously to be concerned for her safety.  We are as upset as anyone to learn of her deceit, Ashley must take full responsibility for her actions.

We have terminated her effective today.

The Washington Times recently wrote a story about how conservative students are harassed by liberals at The George Washington University and at other colleges.  The article quoted GW College Democrats President Cory Struble saying:

We want to marginalize College Republicans as much as possible….We want to make sure that GW is an even more uncomfortable environment for Republicans and conservatives who seek to destroy our country.

Fortunately, despite their best efforts liberal students and professors are failing in their attempts to marginalize Republicans on campuses.  Just the opposite- the hostile atmosphere makes CRs that much more determined to get involved and to help elect Republican candidates.  We have recruited over 100,000 new members across the country since the start of this school year, and have nearly 300,000 members total.  Our members are excited about Republican candidates up and down the ticket, and are doing everything they can to help ensure they get elected on November 4^th.

By now, pretty much everyone has heard about “Joe the Plumber,” and how Barack Obama admitted to wanting to tax small businesses more in order to “spread the wealth around.”  McCain hit Obama hard on this line in the debate, and it seems like that argument has really resonated with many voters.

Well, College Republicans are doing their part to make sure that America doesn’t forget Joe the Plumber, or how Obama wants to raise the taxes of many Americans just like him.  Here is a video one of our field reps put together of a rally in PA where the theme was “we are all Joe the Plumber.”

CRs held another rally just like it in Virginia.  They dressed up in shirts saying “I am Joe the Plumber” and carried plungers.  CNN covered the story.  Featured in the photo is CRNC Chairman Charlie Smith and National Field Director Will Crosswell.

If you were watching tonight’s debate, you saw Barack Obama stumble from answer to answer trying to explain away his “spread the wealth” policies – higher spending, higher taxes, more government, less for you. John McCain presented a positive, forward-looking vision to bring jobs to America, solve our energy crisis, reform health care, and act like a responsible adult in office.

Joe the plumber may be the undoing of the overconfident Obama campaign…will he be coming to a city near you?

He gave a great speech today in New Mexico that highlighted, among other things, how Barack Obama and congressional Democrats blocked reforms offered by McCain and other Republicans that would have prevented the Fannie and Freddie crisis from happening in the first place. Of course, Barack would never have supported such a thing, having sold out to those running Fannie and Freddie for campaign contributions long ago.
