DCYRs on Tour 2010

Deployed 406 volunteers to 16 cities in 9 states.
Over 7,500 volunteer hours.
Coordinated GOTV efforts in Connecticut, DC, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Weekly phone bank at the RNC Headquarters.
Member-composed Resume Bank made accessible to DCYR supported Congressional candidates.

The DC Young Republican Deployment Program, termed “DCYRs on Tour” because of the rockstar-like energy and excitement the trips are known for, serve as a key element of our organization’s political activism. Although the DCYRs have long been a reliable source for Republican candidates looking to energize their campaigns with volunteer support, the number of volunteers participating in deployments has seen a significant increase. Weekend trips to states such as New Jersey, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have given us a chance to show just how effective young republicans can be at stirring up support for a candidate and invigorating a campaign.

The Tour List!

Hey ROCKSTAR Republicans!

Each and every one of you have truly stepped up and taken a stand for our rights as Americans to help determine the direction our country takes after November 2nd. You’ve given your time, energy, and weekends to travel across the country to help get GOP candidates elected and should be PROUD of yourself and these efforts. In total, DCYRs have made 51,850 voter contacts in 12 cities in 6 states so far this fall, and we’re not done yet!

There are still 8 days left until E-Day and many more opportunities to help ensure GOP Victory and a RED NOVEMBER!
