Thank you to our amazing College Republicans. Your time and talents will be the difference in some close races tonight, and we cannot thank you enough for your strength and enthusiasm!

Check out this comparison opinion piece that our Vice President did with the President of the UNK Young Democrats about the upcoming presidential election!

“The next president will potentially have the opportunity to nominate up to three Supreme Court Justices. Because Supreme Court Justices serve a lifelong term, those Justices will set the political environment on the Court for generations after the next president is out of office. It is essential that we elect a trustworthy president who will nominate justices whom firmly support the United States Constitution and won’t make activist decisions.”

Nebraska GOP politicians: Get out and vote for Trump

UNK College Republicans in the news! "Abigail Richling, a freshman at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, was one of four young women to sit in the front row of the meeting to learn about Trump. Richling said she will vote for Trump because he’s charismatic and a good leader. “I believe he’s the only candidate that will make America great again,” she said.

Nebraska Democrats decided not to participate in the bobblehead election, but Nebraska Republicans did. Even College Republicans from University of Nebraska at Kearney made the trip to Lincoln to campaign -- and with a lot of effort -- standing at the front of both lines with Trump boxes in hand asking, "Would you like a Trump bobblehead?" "I'm a little disappointed Nebraska Democrats didn't come out to this event," said Marilyn Synek, a junior and leader of College Republicans at UNK. "Maybe it could make it more competitive if they were trying to hand out bobbleheads, but I think a lot of Nebraskans support Trump."

We voted for chicken, not PC

An editorial piece from our Vice President Marilyn Synek about the Chick-Fil-A controversy: "If believing in traditional marriage is the discriminatory corporate value which a few UNK students found offensive, steps should be taken to educate all students on campus about the distinctive differences between homophobia/discrimination and personal conservative beliefs for traditional marriage. The bottom line is the student body voted to bring a Chick-Fil-A to the student union. UNK should not discriminate against a restaurant for having Christian, conservative corporate officials. If the UNK student body wants to eat delicious fillet sandwiches, let them eat chicken!"

kearneyhub.com On Jan. 19, a survey was sent out to the University of Nebraska at Kearney student body asking students to voice their opinions concerning their preference on a new restaurant in the UNK Student Union. Students had the option to choose between Chick-Fil-A, Panda Express, IHOP or A&W. Students engage…

National Review

An interesting take on the possible significance of the recent campus meltdowns by Jim Geraghty of National Review.

link.nationalreview.com At the heart of the collective liberal angst over the pesky burden of free speech is the nagging perception that they have lost the argument. There is no great progressive era about to dawn; we may never see a more liberal presidential administration than this in our lifetimes. While the dangerous i…
