As many GW Republicans are spending their Thanksgiving holiday helping make sure Georgia stays red, we want to give everyone that is at home an opportunity to join in the fight by holding an online phonebanking contest. It’s easy to participate, and you can do it from anywhere!

Here’s how:

Step 1. Log on to http://www.gop.com/phonebank

Step 2. After being redirected, create a MyGOP account.

Step 3. After creating your account, you will be redirected to the online phone bank, and instructions on how to use it.

When you are finished making calls, keep track of how many you made and email your total to james@gwrepublicans.org. The person with the most calls by next Tuesday will receive a $25 iTunes gift card compliments of the GW College Republicans!

The positions are paid and the schedule is flexible. More information is available here.

The New Atlantis (Ethics and Public Policy Center)
The November 2008 elections mark the beginning of a new era for American conservatism — an era in which conservatives must act as the loyal opposition. During this time in the opposition, think tanks will play an unusually important role — serving as incubators for creative policy ideas and as home to a sort of government-in-waiting. One of the nation’s premier conservative think tanks, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is looking for interns for the spring 2009 semester to work on various policy projects, including especially The New Atlantis, the leading journal about the social and political implications of modern science and technology. Any conservatives students interested in seeing the workings of political think tanks up close, excited at the prospect of helping to define the future of conservatism, and willing to work hard to ensure that conservatives’ time in opposition is as effective (and short!) as possible should consider interning for us in the spring semester. To learn more about the kinds of internships available, please write to Adam Keiper at akeiper@thenewatlantis.com.

11.28 - 12.3 Atlanta, Georgia

Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss is in a runoff election against his Democratic opponent for the Georgia Senate Seat, and the RNC is sending young college republicans to campaign! The possibility of the Democrats getting to sixty senate seats becomes eliminated if they lose this seat, so the Republican Party is focusing all of its efforts on keeping it red.

All expenses are paid, including travel, housing, and food. If people need to change their flight plans to return early from break, we are willing to help cover the costs. We will fly out late Friday night from DC and return early Wednesday morning. Please contact Jake Wolf as soon as possible via email at wolf51@gwmail.gwu.edu or via phone at 315 532 3777.

You can also join the Facebook group.

11.22, 2:30 - 5:30 PM, Mt. Vernon Campus
