UIS CRs Goes NationalDid you know that
Election Day is tomorrow? Yes, I know that this is 2005. But there are actually some important election races, in other parts of the country, that are significant, with respect to the political scene... This will affect Republicans all across the country.
In Virginia, Republican
Jerry Kilgore is in a tight race against Democrat
Tim Kaine - a
liberal Republican State Senator is also running as an independent. This is election is viewed - by both major parties - as the
most important of tomorrow's key elections. A victory here will be symbolic, and could affect the momentum and prospects for each party, in next year's major elections.
Two of the current members of the UIS CRs, along with two of our former members, are currently in Virginia, answering the Republican National Committee's call for volunteers. I was not able to go to Virginia, but I am currently in Missouri, after our organization was also asked, by the
Missouri Republican Party, to assist in
their special election, also being held tomorrow... The campaign that we've been asked to help out with is that of
Moira Byrd, in the
94th representative district of Missouri. This seat became vacant a few months ago, when Mrs. Byrd's husband, State Representative Richard Byrd, passed away. Moira is running for
her late husband's position, in this suburban St. Louis district. This race, like the Virginia gubernatorial election, is predicted to be close, so all the help that we can get is needed... and
very much appreciated!!
