Direct Message from the Chairman-Elect


Greetings to all fellow Vermont College Republicans,

I sincerely thank you for your confidence in electing me Chairman of the Vermont College Republican Executive Committee. Our state and our party have a wonderful opportunity in having such a great and motivated group of college students who are dedicated to promoting our values on campuses throughout Vermont.

The task that lies ahead, however, is not an easy one. As I’m sure many of you have personally experienced, “Republican” seems to have become a dirty word on our campuses in recent years. At any rate, all of our groups must now direct their efforts toward filling the ranks of our campus organizations and ensure that we meet requirements to become recognized by our individual student governments. Rest assured, however, that the people who join us now and in the future do so not for the sole purpose of being “fashionable” and “trendy,” but because they truly believe in the Conservative thought, ethics, and values that we seek to promote on campuses throughout our state. Together we will work to destroy apathy and intellectual laziness on our campuses by increasing awareness and discussion of the critical issues our generation faces today and in the future.

We are the first state-wide organization of Vermont College Republicans in four years. Let us work together in 2008 in setting the standard for the future of Vermont College Republicans.

Sincerely,


Aaron LaRoche
VCR Chairman-Elect
