Playing the race card

This past week, UMKC sent out a cry of help to student organizations to set up a booth at a teen summit for a minority group. CR bit, but after realizing no one was there and that there wasn't a table for us, we left.

However, the preparation for this summit was incredibly stressful. The College REPUBLICANS should NEVER have to stress about a event for racial minorities! Republicans are responsible for Emancipation, women's suffrage, and the Civil Rights Act, amongst other measures protecting and liberating minorities. To the core, it does not make sense for struggling minorities to be liberal.

Nonetheless, the fruits my my minority panic was sweet. Below, find our preparation to target and bring in more minorities to UMKC CR. Everyone should want to be a Republican, regardless of their race and related social pressures.

Want to be a leader in your community? Want to make a difference?

Politics is the way to go.

Do you know why politics are important? Sure, politics are a pain. But, politics decide how much funding your schools get, whether your street gets repaved, or how difficult it is to start your own business. Politics define your community, your city, and your country. Leaders take the reins and get things done. You want to be a leader. You want to be a Republican.

But, why Republican politics?

Republicans believe in you. The government should not have to hand anything to you and the government should not take more than it needs from you.

Republicans believe in the Constitution, which allocates rights to be split between levels of government to keep you free. The state government provides education. The federal government provides security.

Republicans believe you can spend your money better than the government and never forget how lukcy we are to live in this country. The United State is a unique and wonderful state that should not bow to the systems of other countries. God bless America.

What does it mean to be a Republican?

It means to be a responsible American.

The UMKC College Republicans supplies the surrounding community with events throughout the year. In February, Apostle Claver Kamau Imani, founder of RagingElephants.org and radio host, spoke. He says, ““The more money the government has…the less money you have. The more power government has…the less freedom you have. The government should have less money and less power… it makes it easier for all of us to prosper. Lawmakers, stop telling us what to do and start making laws telling government what it can’t do. You agree with me? Then you’re a conservative. Now vote that way!”

College Republicans across the county have emerged as the most diverse political organization. The Truman College Republicans chair, Vinciane Ngomsi, fights the social pressure and believes in conservative values. She said, “I am a Republican because I do not believe in the government gaining control of the public sector. The people have exercised their right to vote, and the elected officials should honor their concerns. I do not believe in spending incredible amounts of money that will eventually translate in debt.”

Famous black Republicans: Martin Luther King, Jr., Booker T. Washington, and Frederick Douglas!

No Excuses

This post was sent out as an email to hundreds of patriots on June 13, 2010.
___________________________________________

Fellow Republicans, College Republicans, and future College Republicans -

This may be long, but I assure you that it reads quickly and provides important information regarding the future of this nation. If that alone doesn't have you hooked, fellow patriots, nothing will.

Since 2008, we have watched our country support, accept, and sadden as we together elected Barack Obama. You may not have voted for our current president, but our failures as active citizens and mobilized Americans ensured his victory. From the campaign down, most of us can't help but wonder what more we could have done to get a Republican into office.

Since the election, the media has swung our way and reassured a conservative victory because of the extreme shock the liberal agenda has provided to America. Republicans will win, thanks to Obama. Conservatives will prevail, thanks to Pelosi. The Tea Party will send shock waves through November, thanks to Reid.

I want an overwhelming conservative victory to be a reality. I believe you do, too, otherwise, you would not be reading this.

We want it to be true that true conservatives will gain control of government this fall and halt this runaway train of spending, spending, spending.

Whether you voted or not, you are paying the bill. Your taxes will rise. Your children’s taxes will be higher. If fiscal conservatives that are in touch with the heart of America do not regain power, the America that we know and love will be gone.

You need to help. You need to make a choice to help or inspire more to help elect those who have the best interests of our country at heart. The wave of political apathy needs to stop breaching the levee of liberty. It has been said by wise men that every generation must fight for their freedom and the time has come to fight.

I am honored to be surrounded by hundreds of fired up Republicans of all ages, races, and religions in Missouri and Kansas this campaign season. We may not all agree on everything. However, we do all agree that we love this country more than any facet of a socialist European regime that some want as a replacement here in our home. The America that we know and love allows us all to climb to our own success and fall at our own failures.

This America does not permit excuses and I do not want one that does.

The agenda that is being pushed in Washington now will degrade our stubborn and strong America. An entitled and weak country will prevail if true conservative are not elected this fall. Our educations, work, and dreams will mean nothing if this agenda is not defeated. This will all change as we fire up as many like minded individuals as possible.

As young people, you must help. If you are not young with a multitude of time on your hand, I’m beyond confident that you know someone that is young and concerned about the future of our wonderful country. Everyone has a resource that they can contribute, whether is be time, talent, money, or other resources. There are no excuses to not contribute in the best way you can now.

We can all find someone to support. Thousands, if not millions, of Americans are burning up the liberal agenda and you need to help. Candidates need and will appreciate anyone's help. Please email someone now, on our list or not, and find out exactly how you can get involved.

America needs you to get off of your computer now, pick a candidate that supports your values, and fuel every cell you have that cares about freedom into the success of their campaign.

As always, if the UMKC College Republicans chapter can do anything for you, please let us know. We encourage you emailing and Facebooking us and want the outreach to continue. We pass on as many opportunities as we can to fellow College Republicans and will continue to do so. Our CRs from our chapter come from all corners of the Midwest and the KC Metro. I hope that all of them will spend time with a race they are comfortable with, which we are confident will occur as we send out more and more opportunities. We want you to tell your friends and favorite politicians that we exist and are fired up. We encourage you to forward our emails to anyone that may be interested in us, what we do, and what we can do with you help. Please ask questions if you want to know more about anything.

This summer is beautiful and sitting by the pool is fun, but it will be beyond worth it to contribute all the time (and resources) that you can into the conservative campaign of your choice once the primaries and election pass.

Best,

Rachael Herndon

UMKC College Republicans, Chairwoman

P.S. If you don’t know which campaign to support or who needs you most, please email us at UMKCCR@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with someone that needs and wants your help. Individually, we all have our favorites, but not everyone can be everywhere and we all should wish to do more for our country than we do. Everyone can do something.

There are no excuses.
