Aaron Gordner Elected President of Case Republicans; Mark Beatty Elected VP
At our fist meeting of the new Spring semester, members of the Case Republicans elected Aaron Gordner as our new president. As Aaron was previously the vice-president, this warranted a second round of nominations and elections to fill his post, which Mark Beatty was elected to. Congratulations to those two on their victories, and to all the members who came to our meeting to vote. Aaron and Mark will serve as president and vice-president for the remainder of the school year.

Whoever is elected will then serve until the end of the Spring semester, at which point we will hold an election for the 2010-2011 school year.
Case Republicans Host 'Deficit Awareness Dinner'
On November 3, the Case Republicans invited Professor Mahnic of the Banking and Finance department at Case Western to give a speach on the causes and implications of the 2008-2009 Financial Crisis, as well as the effectiveness (or lack thereof) and costs associated with President Obama's steps to adress the crisis. The Case Republicans are proud to say that the event went very well, with a fantastic speech on Mahnic's part and great attendance, which included Republicans, Libertarians, and others just interested in what happened during the financial crash, what we're doing (and should be doing) to combat the recession, and what it means to the taxpayer. The speech, while generally critical of President Obama, was entirely non-partisan.
