CRs gear up for election-time volunteering, NY and MN no exception
By punch bowl | May 14, 2008
In New York on May 17th, the College Republicans will travel to Clifton Park to volunteer for Former New York Secretary of State Sandy Treadwell, who is running for Congress in district 20.
The College Republicans will meet up with the campaign for the Grand Opening of their new headquarters located at 1707 Rt. 9 in Clifton Park at 12 p.m.
The NY CRs tell me that Sandy Treadwell is a trusted conservative who encompasses the values of the New York College Republican State Committee.
Union College Republican chairwoman and NYCRSC treasurer Abigail Cable believes that “Sandy Treadwell is an experienced politician who represents the Republicans’ best bet for taking back the 20th district. I look forward to volunteering for his campaign”.
And we here at CR Nation look forward to hearing about the successful results of your volunteering, Abby.
The 20th Congressional District leans “very slightly” to the right. The seat was lost in 2006 because the Republican incumbent (1) was caught partying at a fraternity house and (2) had ties to lobbyists.
In Minnesota, the College Republicans will be hosting SUPER SATURDAY II on May 17 in which CRs “venture out to the suburbs…for an afternoon of grassroots politicking…”
After the door-to-door volunteering, the MN College Republicans have planned a CR BBQ and softball game intended to “celebrate the end of the semester and kickoff a busy summer…”
In Texas, the College Republicans are participating in a statewide effort aimed at reaching out to voters in The Lone Star State. Hundreds of volunteers will be knocking on doors in neighborhoods across the state, urging them to support the Republican ticket this November. Volunteers knocking on doors will include such notable elected officials as, US Senator John Cornyn, Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams, and Republican Party of Texas Chairman Roger Williams.
To reach the goal of 100,000 contacts statewide, volunteers who knock on more than 60 doors will be entered to win one of ten $250 cash prizes.
Volunteers can register by visiting http://www.texasvictory.org/volunteers/walktowin.
Great job MN, NY, and TX!

Regardless of being hot, Abby has done an incredible job of organizing events and recruiting CRs.
