Greetings Fellow Young Republicans
Greetings!
    Its an exciting time to be a part of the Young Republicans and part of this conservative resurgence in America.  The generic Republican Ballot is beating the Democrat ballot by over 10 points, the widest spread since 1940's.  Even during the great GOP revolution in 1994 led by Speaker Gingrich, the generic Republican Ballot was not ahead of the Democrats.
    The national mood had changed and the tide has turned in our favor, but its going to take a little work from us!  Please take advantage the great opportunities to volunteer to help our GOP candidates

Monthly YR General Meeting
This month's speaker will be Dennis Denny. Dennis Denny is President of DTD Insurance and a Member of NFIB. He will be speaking about the new healthcare reform law. While some changes are effective now, much of the new healthcare reform law will be implemented over the next decade. Changes involve new taxes, fees and mandates on individuals and small businesses. Come find out what is ahead and what you need to know about the new law.
 
The Monthly General meeting will be held on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 7:30 PM at the Missouri GOP Victory 2010 Headquarters in Saint Louis, which is located at 10825 Watson Road, Suite 120, 63127.
