Website Transition in Progress - Minor News Update [July 1, 2010]
For those who were unaware, the Case College Republicans webpage is in the process of undergoing a host change. This transition has been taking longer than I had hoped or anticipated due a number of reasons. However, I hope to have the website on its new server soon and resume updates, including catching up on old updates, as quickly as possible. In the interim, I would like to make a few things aware to any visitors, particularly incoming freshmen, looking for information on the CCR.
First: Any incoming freshmen [or sophomore, junior, or senior] who would like to be a part of the Case College Republicans can send an email to our president Gwendolyn Gorse as gng6@case.edu or to the webmaster at webmaster@caserepublicans.org. We'll make sure to get you added to our email list and keep you alert to our events this upcoming semester.
Second: The Case College Republicans will have a booth at the Student Activities Fair on August 21st. That is the Saturday before classes begin. I cannot tell you at this point where our booth will be, but we will definitely be there, so look for us!
Third: Immediately after the Student Activities Fair, Case Republicans will be hosting a Rockclimbing with the Republicans event for incoming freshmen. I will be sure to give more information on this as it approaches.
And finally: Our first meeting is current planned for Wednesday, August 25th from 7:30 to 8:30 PM. It will be held in the Wade Multipurpose Room. We will have pizza and drinks, so there's no excuse not to come. More info will be available later.
Again, I apologize for the lack of recent updates, but once the transition is final, I should be able to get things caught up and back on track. Thanks for your understanding.

Case Republicans Co-Sponsoring Immigration Roundtable on Tuesday, February 23.
The Case Republicans have agreed to Co-Sponsor an immigration roundtable with Young Americans for Liberty and La Alianza. The roundtable will address issues such as current immigration policy and "what it is to be an American in 2010" and beyond. The event is not a debate, and as such will not pit one organization against another, but rather a roundtable so that all points of view can be considered. Food and refreshments will be provided, and audience participation is encouraged. The event will be held in the Thwing Spartan from 6:00 to 7:30.
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.
David Holcomb Stepping Down as President of Case Republicans
At our last meeting of the Fall semester Case Republicans President David Holcomb announced that he would be stepping down at the end of the semester. As such, we will be holding an election to replace him during our first meeting of the Spring semester. 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.
