"Defending the American Dream:" College Republicans

I was amazed at how many College Republicans were in attendance at AFP's "Defending the American Dream" summit. It was a welcome sight and was energizing to see the next generation of conservatives becoming actively involved in conservative politics. I don't doubt for a minute there were future office holders in that group of young people at the Mayflower.

I always enjoy seeing Jarrett Ray, President of the Virginia College Republicans, and Friday was no exception. We stood in the hallway and talked -- he attends James Madison University and my son is a 2007 graduate from there. Jarrett is always willing to roll up his sleeves and work. He introduced me to Sam, CR Secretary who attends Mary Washington but is from Charlottesville. We discovered we both attended the Win the War rally in June to counter Cindy Sheehan's Charlottesville appearance.

Jarrett and the CRs have their own website. Check it out here for his update about the AFP Summit ... and be sure to bookmark it for later reference.

These are our up-and-coming young conservative leaders of the future ... and we are happy they are here. Thanks to Jarrett and all the others for the work they do on behalf of Virginia Republicans.
