Description: |
|
For years, the College Republicans of WMU have proven to be the most important political organization not only on campus, but in the state. During the last few years, we were lucky enough to have several important speakers address our group. From Congressman Tom Tancredo to Pat Buchanan to former Attorney General John Ashcroft to columnists and authors such as Michele Malkin and Ann Coulter, we have proven ourselves the most effective registered student organization on campus.
The Western Michigan University College Republicans have been named the best chapter in the country by our peers at other universities during the recent College Republican National Committee meeting. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our group, and we have every intention of working even harder this year to make our voices heard on campus. |

Mission: |
|
It is the mission of the College Republicans at Western Michigan University to actively promote the conservative values and culture that have made the United States of America the greatest nation in the world. Our goal is to fervently campaign at the national, state, local, and campus level in order to further these ideals. Education on our campus concerning the conservative goals of limited government, fiscal responsibility, Constitutional freedoms, strong national defense, secure borders, national sovereignty, and superior personal and family values are of utmost importance to this organization. |

Events
Ted Nugent to speak at Western Michigan University
03/03/2008
| Date: | 03/03/2008 | | Address: | WMU’s Miller auditorium. | | State: | Michigan | | Website: | http://www.rso.wmich.edu/gop/news.ht... |
“We are excited and honored to host Ted Nugent,” says Megan Buwalda, Chairman of the WMU College Republicans. “Mr. Nugent is cultural icon. Gun rights have been a very hot topic on campus recently and we feel that Ted Nugent will contribute positively to the discourse in our community,” she added.
Ted Nugent is an American hard rock guitarist and vocalist from Detroit, Michigan. He originally gained fame as the front man of the Amboy Dukes. He is noted for his conservative political views and his vocal pro-hunting and Second Amendment activism.
Nugent’s speech is titled “God, Guns & Rock n Roll.” The event is free and open to both students and the general public. Following the speech, there will be a question and answer session.
“We expect to welcome a large turnout to Mr. Nugent’s speech,” says Buwalda. “We hope the speech exposes students and the community to a new viewpoint and encourages civil discussion and debate. We look forward to a great event.”
The College Republicans have hosted many successful speaking events in the past years. Speakers include Pat Buchanan, Dinesh D'Souza, Congressman and presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, Michelle Malkin, Justice Ray Moore, Ann Coulter, Attorney General John Ashcroft, and most recently 20/20 host John Stossel. These events have been attended by many thousands of Western students and are always open and both students and the community free of charge. The College Republicans meet weekly, Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. in the Brown and Gold room of the Bernhard Center. |
