Hey, Mr. Blake: This is how we roll…

From Travis Symoniak, Executive Director MN College Republicans:
Dear CR Nation,
I really do hope you send these things a long. I can not believe he has said things like this. I am the Executive Director of the MN College Republicans and just wanted to pass along a few of the things we are doing here in MN. Please pass this along!
Last week alone MN CRs made over 9000 phone calls, with close to 100 volunteers coming out and helping. On the CRNC’s National Event Day we had 42 volunteers come out state wide and made just over 3200 phone calls and knock on 860 doors. That was just last week. This week every CR chapter in the state is having their weekly phone banks and will have numbers at the end of the week.
We have recruited 1600 - 1700 new members statewide that are becoming active in the state.
As a state we also marched in 30 - 40 parades over the summer to help out all of our Republican Candidates.
These are just 3 examples of what the MN College Republicans have done and are doing. In no way are we close to done volunteering and helping out Senator McCain and Governor Palin and all of our candidates. We have many activities coming up and wont be done working until the polls close on November 4th!
Please do not post this on crnation. I just wanted to pass this a long so you can send it to Lee so we can prove to him we are actually working. Thanks for everything you guys do!
From Jeremy Hagen, Chairman of the Missouri College Republicans:(taken from a comment on this post):
In Missouri, many good things are happening, including (1) recruitment, (2) volunteer efforts, and (3) new chapters.
(1) In Missouri, since the field reps hit campuses in late August our federation has grown by well over 6,000 members. One of our field reps is the leading CRNC recruiter in the nation.
(2) In four weeks, Missouri College Republicans have volunteered 3,736.5 hours making more than 40,000 phone calls. For any of you who take the time to know Missouri’s unique status as a bellweather and battleground state will recognize that the efforts of Missouri College Republicans could be the margin by which Republicans win on a statewide level. Things get so tight - year in and year out - the efforts of College Republicans heavily influence who wins and who loses. An off year for us and Democrats are elected. Can’t say that in states like Oklahoma, where, as I recently found out, things are pretty easy.
(3) In Missouri, since the beginning of the summer we have started 11 chapters. Schools with new chapters include Webster University, Maryville University, Lindenwood University, St. Louis College of Pharmacy, Missouri Valley, Westminster, Ozark Technical College, Drury University, Missouri Southern State University, University of Central Missouri, and Northwest Missouri State University.
I consider all these things to be good and contrary to the argument fronted by Mr. Blake that College Republicans is solely a fundraising institution. We fundraise, that is for sure, but it carries with it a broader purpose, that being recruiting, volunteering and starting new chapters and doing so with an ever focused eye on electing Country First Republicans.
