November 9, 2011 AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY AND AMERICAN ENERGY ALLIANCE LAUNCHES ENERGY FOR AMERICA TOUR Stop planned at CMU, calling for energy reform MT. PLEASANT, MI – Concerned with the effect of rising energy costs to Michigan’s economy, the College Republicans at Central Michigan University are co-sponsoring a stop for the Americans for Prosperity’s Energy for America Tour to highlight policies that would lower the cost of energy and help create jobs and economic prosperity. “America is a nation rich with energy resources. Unfortunately, most of our energy resources have been placed off-limits by President Obama, federal elected officials, and unelected bureaucrats,” said Scott Hagerstrom, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Michigan. “The result is gas prices above $3 a gallon at a time when Michigan faces a double-dip recession.” “The Energy for America tour is all about reducing the burden of energy prices on Michigan families by encouraging domestic exploration and production of our vast energy resources and getting government out of the free market – taxpayers should never have been on the hook for companies like Solyndra,” explained Hagerstrom. Americans for Prosperity’s Energy for America Tour will join grassroots activists and local leaders in Mount Pleasant. The Energy for America Tour bus will stop in Mount Pleasant on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 12 p.m. at Central Michigan University, corner of Anspach and Pearce Halls. To register for a tour stop or for more information, visit www.MichiganAFP.com. In addition, citizens can sign a petition at www.EnergyForAmerica.org telling Washington enough is enough — it's time to get America working again. Editor’s Note: Energy for America is a joint project of Americans for Prosperity, American Energy Alliance, and the Institute for Energy Research. Americans for Prosperity-Michigan is a statewide organization of 65,000 activists committed to strengthening our constitutional government, establishing fiscal restraint, and giving taxpayers greater control over government. We are dedicated to recruiting, training, educating and motivating grassroots activists to be effective in their own communities.
April 16, 2011 COLLEGE REPUBLICANS TO HOLD PRESENTATION ON GREEN SCISSORS CAMPAIGN The College Republicans at Central Michigan University will be organizing a presentation by the Green Scissors Campaign on Wednesday, April 20, at 5:30 P.M. in Pearce 135. Green Scissors proposes $200 billion in cuts to the federal budget. In most cases, the programming currently funding by these tax dollars cause significant environmental damage. Eliminating the spending will help balance the budget, save tax dollars, and limit unintended costs to the environment. The speakers will be: · Rob Sisson, National President, Republicans for Environment · Ryan Alexander, Executive Director, Taxpayers for Common Sense · Lisa Wozniak, Executive Director, Michigan League of Conservation Voters The speakers will also field questions from the audience after the presentation. The Green Scissors Report can be found on their website, www.greenscissors.com.
September 13, 2010 COLLEGE REPUBLICANS AT CMU TO PAY TRIBUTE TO The College Republicans at Central Michigan University will host “A Tribute To Bill Caul” this Friday, September 17th, at the Blue Gator Sports Pub and Grill in downtown Mount Pleasant. Caul, a term-limited State Representative for the 99th District, has been a tireless servant of the people of Isabella and rural Midland counties since 2004, when he was elected to the State House in the seat occupied by his wife, Sandy. Bill and Sandy have lived in Mt. Pleasant for over 40 years. Before being elected to the Michigan House, Caul was a special education teacher in the Mt. Pleasant Public school district for more than 21 years. In addition to his service as a teacher, Caul has been a committed advocate of higher education and has been a strong ally of Central Michigan University. Time and again in the state legislature, Bill has proven himself to be a friend of the College Republicans, Central Michigan University, and the Mid-Michigan Community. As a sign of gratitude for Representative Caul’s service to the Central Michigan Community, the College Republicans at CMU will be hosting a tribute event on Friday, September 17th from 7:00-9:00 P.M. Local elected officials and members of the University community will be in attendance. Tickets to the tribute may be purchased at the door for the price of 20 dollars per person or 35 dollars for a couple.
April 17, 2011 COLLEGE REPUBLICANS TO HOLD ANNUAL “SALUTE TO THE TROOPS” The College Republicans at Central Michigan University will be sponsoring their third annual “Salute to the Troops” on Thursday, April 21st, from 9:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. in Central Park (just west of the Park Library). The event will be a tribute to our soldiers who are serving overseas. This event, although sponsored by a partisan group, is a nonpartisan event, and everybody is encouraged to come out and show their support for our everyday American heroes. This year the group is saluting the Michigan Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 182nd Field Artillery, Battery B. A banner will be provided for students to sign that will be sent to the battalion, which is currently stationed in Kuwait. Monetary donations will be accepted and used to purchase things for our troops such as soap, shampoo, sports memorabilia, snacks, and other care package items. Additionally, gifts such as these will also be accepted and shipped along with the banner and other care packages. The bookstore has agreed to again make a donation of some merchandise as they have done in the past.
