Mackinac Conference 2007

Well last weekend the Grand Rapids CC College Republicans had a great opportunity to volunteer for Chuck Yob and John McCain at the annual Mackinac Conference. It was a huge success. Not only did most Republican Presidential candidates show up [including the possibility of Newt Gingrich] but more than 3000 Conservatives were on the Island as well.

We not only spent time passing out stickers, placing signs throughout the Island, and making sure Trevor Pittsley did not tamper with the straw-poll, but we also spent time at party after party where we saw many politicians.

Here is a short list of who we saw last weekend:
-Dick DeVos
-John McCain
-Chuck Yob
-Holly Hughes
-Ron Paul
-Mike Cox
-Terri Lynn Land
-Fred Thompson
-Rudy Giuliani
-Duncan Hunter
-Peter Seccia
-Saul Anuzis
-Mitt Romney
-Barb VanderVeen
-Newt Gingrich
and many, many more...

Granholm happened to be on the Island too, of course she didn't show her face, but the flags were flying high outside the Governor's Mansion on the Island.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

It was a great opportunity and a great conference. We are looking forward to and planning on attending the Mackinac Conference again next year. I hope you can come as well!

I would like to note that, while I was at the Conference, I was not working with the GRCC CRs or for Chuck Yob or John McCain.

Whoever you were there to support, it was one heck of a conference.

And how refreshing to have ALL THOSE candidates come to the state when the Democrats have all signed pledges promising not to step foot in the state until after the primary.

At least our guys are asking for our votes!

GRCC: Welcome to the fast paced world of College Republicans, college activism and the blogosphere.
