Tampa 2012 is just around the corner! RNC Counsel Leslie Rutledge joins us Tuesday to give us a behind-the-scenes look at all things Convention, including tips for DCYR’s wanting to get in on the action.

Watching the GOP Presidential debates? Of course you are. We will have volunteer opportunities for presidential campaigns announced at this meeting.

Leslie Rutledge serves as Associate Counsel for the Republican National Committee, where her portfolio includes the presidential nominating process and delegate selection, federal and state election law, redistricting, insurance, defamation, and employment issues. Before joining the RNC, Ms. Rutledge was In-House Counsel to a 501(c)(4) national redistricting organization. During the 2008 cycle, Ms. Rutledge served as Deputy Counsel at the National Republican Congressional Committee, where she specialized in campaign finance and ethics.

Please come business casual and there is a cash bar.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, 10/4, we will be in the RNC basement phone calling for West Virginia’s gubernatorial race. They need us to help Get Out The Vote!

Please email francesca.a.chambers@gmail.com with any questions.

In a matter of weeks this race has moved from Safe Blue to Toss-Up. With election day looming tomorrow, October 4th, the RNC needs your help tonight and tomorrow to turn out those crucial red votes!

The West Virginia Gubernatorial Race is a toss up. The Wall Street Journal calls it “an election widely viewed as the most competitive of the four statewide contests this fall.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203405504576601152675626020.html

10 DCYRs travelled to WV this past Sunday (read more from Rachel Hoff in her new post for the www.GOPRockstars.com blog): “A new poll out this morning shows Maloney down by just one point. But West Virginia remains a largely Democrat state, with Democrats enjoying a two-to-one registration advantage over Republicans.” http://goprockstars.com/dcyrs-rock-west-virginia/

Staying in DC this 4th? Does your Uncle’s old college roommate’s BBQ in Fairfax sound lame? (you know everything at his place always is…) Join the DCYRs and DCGOP celebration at the Palisades 4th of July Parade.

Skip the sparkler burns this year and set ablaze some change in the District instead. We’ll be passing out lit to parade goers about DC Council corruption (we used abbreviations to keep it under 15 pages). Afterwards, we’ll gather with fellow Republicans whom, although they don’t need an excuse to celebrate our freedom, still love a good picnic and free food. Don’t worry, we’ll get done by 2pm: you’ll have plenty of time to set-up your annual (non-illicit) cheese and firecracker extravaganza ).

Seriously, what better way to honor our founders than to exercise our hard-fought freedoms? Bring your friends and show them what being a real American is all about!

Interested? Email Heather.Homan@dcyrs.com while details are being finalized
