It's 3:00 AM...(Well, a little past that, as I'm running late!)
As we've said here before, please don't let the lack of updates at this weblog give you the impression that there's been a lack of activity. It's been (and continues to be!!) quite the opposite... Maybe that's one reason for the lack of updates!! :-)
Right now, I am about to
depart, first to stop by the home of
the College Republicans Chairman at our sister campus (UIUC), and then we are heading to St. Paul (and Minneapolis), for the
2008 Republican National Convention!!
[
latest news]
Both of us
were winners of the "
STORM" contest of the
College Republican National Committee.
We are not officially part of the Illinois "delegation" - or even the Illinois guest delegation... Since we are going through the CRNC. Not only do we not have to pay the $1,200.00 cost of lodging [we'll be staying for free, starting this afternoon, at Concordia University], but we also do not have to buy the attendance pass (for $600.00), like everyone else does... We will have the equivalent access that volunteers for the Republican National Committee get - and
perhaps even better seats! (Sorry, guys!!)
UIS CR
Matt Mau and alumnus
Mike Sneed are also attending, as elected Alternate Delegates (from the 19th Congressional District of Illinois).
Distinguished UIS CR alumna
Jen Dillman [who was appointed to the County Board last summer] is also attending.
www.jendillman.comIn fact, they are already there.
Soon, we will be too.
-----------------
Please pray that this trip goes well, for all of those who are attending.
But more significantly, please pray for the people down south, as they cope with the pending Hurricane Gustav.
