CR TACTIC #3: Campus Tea-Party

"A tribe of red men, axe in hand,--
Behold the guests advancing!
How fast the stragglers join the throng,
From stall and workshop gathered!"

Oliver Wendell Holmes
"A Ballad of the Boston Tea-Party"

As this blog has gained notoriety over the past few months, one certain e-mail from a reader has stuck in my head. The writer said that they were on the Exec board of a small chapter in Ohio. While their chapter received small donations from local contributors the liberals that run their campus student body are playing hide the ball with student funds. The campus body leadership had no problem giving funds to the Young Democrats, the Planned Parenthood student club, and Pirates and Ninjas club (yes, they exist). To the College Republicans they said "Take a Hike!"

My solution? Have a tea-party.

We're all active CRs in our chapter and we do the normal routine of going to meetings, having debates, and scrounging up enough money to bring David Horowitz to campus. If you're reading this blog you're probably a leader in your chapter or even a state federation. But why stop there? Every campus has a Student Government Organization (SGO). Theses SGO's set the pace for campus by hosting student-wide events. They host socials, dances, and everything under the sun. If your campus is anything like mine your SGO also brings speakers to campus and disburses thousands to student organization like the College Republicans.
As a College Republican you have the opportunity to take over these student-elected and student-run organizations. What? Take over you say?

You sure do. From the numerous campaigns you have worked on you are an operative. You know how to wage a GOTV effort to get friends and people you don't even know to the polls. You know all the little tips and tricks of grassroots politics that liberals have had a monopoly on for years.

Don't like the way your campus does things? Well, you got two choices. You can stay with CRs alone and live at the mercy of your SGO. Or, you can use the SGO for your own goals. Sure, you'll have to deal with liberals trying to block "Ann Coulter comes to campus and will make liberal cry Day". But that's just practice for the real world when we graduate. Might as well learn your craft at the next SGO meeting.

Get CRs in to SGO office.
