We will be having our final meeting of the school year tonight at 6:00, in A.P. Green Chapel. Please try to make it out as we have information on different events, including some about the current Conceal and Carry on Campus issue.
You can vote now to show Mizzou you don't want the government to be able to infringe on your civil liberties and take away your right to carry.
The Missouri College Republicans are one of the top federations in the country, and we need your support to show we are the BEST. The CR Nation website has a poll asking which state's federation has done the best over the past year. Show America that Missourians are the best CR's in the entire country!
Come back for the second issue of THE RIGHT PAW, the Mizzou CR newsletter.

Tea Party Tomorrow!
As part of the nationwide movement, there will be a Tea Party on the steps of the Capitol in Jefferson City. This will be from 3:00-5:00. We all are frustrated by President Obama's irresponsible economic policies that are bankrupting our country and piling on future generations of America. Come down to Jeff City and voice your opinions. Signs are encouraged.

Radical Angela Davis Visits Mizzou
This past Thursday, former communist party member, black panther, and socialist Angela Davis visited MU and spoke about how capitalism need to be done away with and why the federal prison system was ineffective and should also be eliminated. While most applauded her words, there were dissenting opinions in the audience.
Davis was asked if she believed President Obama's policies were socialist. Her response:
"Well....do I believe President Obama is a socialist? No, but I wish he was."
Later, Davis was asked what should be done with murderers and other ruthless criminals if she had her way and prisons were done away with. After sidestepping the question momentarily, she conceded:
"I really don't have an answer for you."
As conservatives on a college campus, we must take advantage of situations like this. When a speaker of an opposing view comes, we should go and listen, but we should also question them about potential flaws in their thinking. Sure, you may feel like that annoying person just trying to start trouble, but as long as you ask constructive question politely, only good can come of it. Also, our presence at events like this lets everyone on campus know that we as conservative republicans are here on campus and that we will stand up for our beliefs.

Missouri Democratic Party in trouble.....again
An article in today's (April 9) St. Louis Post-Dispatch tells how the Missouri Democratic Party has been audited several times regarding funding in campaigns, and the article also includes the party's weak cover-up attempt. Read about the latest democrat follies here.
My favorite part of the article is a quote from a lawyer familiar with the case.
Federal elections lawyer Kenneth Gross in Washington said the pattern of audits should concern the party.
"It is unusual to be repeatedly audited," said Gross, who is the former head of enforcement for the FEC. "It means they're having serious difficulty keeping their books in order."
This is why we as Republicans must work hard to get what we want in elections. Democrats have shown time and again, whether it be funding issues, inner St. Louis city poling places, or ACORN, that they have no regard for the law, and that they will do anything it takes, no matter how illegal and shameful, to get their way.
As members of the GOP, we must have a strong work ethic, and we must do things the right way.
