Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Mary Graydon Center Room 5

Jonah Goldberg, bestselling author and writer for National Review, has a new book out that FINALLY sets the record straight on the ideological connections between progressivism and fascism.

His new book, Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, is a Number One Bestseller according to the New York Times and makes the plain case that it is Modern Liberalism, not Conservatism, that desends from a similar school of thought as the fascism of Europe. The distant cousin of Liberalism, Fascism to this very day finds a home in the policies and politics of the Left.

The AU College Republicans, in conjunction with the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies Institute present "The Elephant In the Room: GOP Strategies In 2008."

The panel will feature:
Michael Barone, author of "The Almanac of American Politics"
Michael Steele, GOPAC Chairman
Ken Blackwell: Chairman, Coalition for a Conservative Majority
Byron York: National Review columnist

Wednesday, March 5, at 7pm in Butler Board Room (6th Floor, Mary Graydon Center)

Come out and meet Congressman Tom Tancredo and discuss with him one of the most important issues facing America in the 21st century, Illegal Immigration! Copies of the Congressman's book will be for purchase and for him to autograph. We look forward to seeing you out!

Tucker Carlson is a conservative political commentator currently best known for formally being co-host of Crossfire, where he became famous for standing up for Conservative principles, and good bow ties, against Liberal guests and commentators.

Come out and enjoy an evening with Tucker and get his take on the current political climate, and the upcoming 2008 elections. Bring your bow ties! He will be speaking on February 20th at 8pm in Mary Graydon Center Room 4 (University Club).

Every Year, the AUCRs hold a internship/career party to get YOU connected within the GOP and Conservative Movement. This years Republicalooza is going to the BEST ever. For the first time, it is FREE to members, will feature special guests Dick Armey, former House Majority Leader, and Governor Jim Gilmore, running for Senate in the crucial Virginia race! H'orderves, Deserts, and Drinks will be served.

On January 23rd at 8:00pm, the AUCRs will open the doors to University Club and kickoff the Spring 2008 Semester with special guest Senator Sam Brownback! We will be kicking off our monthly issue campaign with "Life and the GOP" handing out fact sheets about the Republican Party's position on life issues, and give you chances to help the CRs spread our issue campaigns around campus. Also, you can sign up for our Walter Reed trips, tours to the Capitol, the White House, become a writer for the Right Wing and being a Dorm Captain. You will also get to speak to a representative from the Jim Gilmore campaign in Virginia, have more chances to get involved in the presidential primaries, as well as learn about the great events of the semester, including Republicalooza and Carnivore Initiative!

As we enter the home stretch of the semester and our focus turns to finals and winter break, let us not forget the history we made over the past several months. With an expanded membership, unprecedented fundraising, high-quality events/speakers, national political attention, our first ever publication, a new Constitution for our 21st century club, and a re-designed website, the AUCRs can proudly call itself the most active and vibrant organization on campus, and one of the most prominent CR chapters in the country! We have broken records and raised the bar....and it was only the fall semester! Thank you to all who came to our Holiday Celebration with Congressman Mike Pence! This was our last event of 2007, and we look forward to continuing the fight for Conservatism with you in 2008!!
