Welcome to the new website of the Tennessee College Republicans! We are the umbrella organization of 16 College Republican chapters across the state of Tennessee. We are a proud affiliate of the Tennessee Republican Party and an extension of the College Republican National Committee in our great state.
Here in Tennessee, our party has achieved great feats over the last decade. Once the state of Andrew Jackson and Al Gore, we are now the party of Howard Baker, Winfield Dunn, and Bill Frist. The Tennessee College Republicans as a whole, however, have been anything but active in the past few years. We are about to change that.
Our work is great and imminent, if we really want to make an impact on our future—and I believe we can. 2012 is right around the corner and there is no election more critical to our future than the forthcoming one. We cannot sit on the sidelines any longer. This is our battle, for our country, for our future.
Our generation as a whole is losing faith in the values that our party and our country hold dear. Too often, our peers question whether or not America is the greatest nation in the world, and too often, regardless of the initial answer, they postulate that we ought or need not be. A recent survey conducted by Harvard University found that less than half of our generation believes that the American dream is still attainable. These sentiments are merely indicative of the challenges we face and our dim future if we don’t do anything. In order to ensure an exceptional America for tomorrow, we must start today, we must start now. Only we can restore American exceptionalism and the American dream for our future.
Only with hard work and unity, will we be able to not just transform the Tennessee College Republicans, but also set an example for young conservatives everywhere. Someone once said "If the size of your vision isn't intimidating to you, there's a good chance it's insulting to God." Let’s set a big vision, and I believe, if we stand together and stand on principle, we will attain it.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Honored to serve,
stephen
