"The purpose of the College Republicans is to make known and promote the principles of the Republican Party among members of the Rollins campus and community; to aid in the election of Republican candidates at all levels of government; to encourage and assist in the organization and active functioning of the Republican Party at local, state, and national levels; and to develop political skills and leadership abilities among Republican students as preparation for future service by them to the Party and community."

Why GOP?

I Believe ... The proper function of government is to do for the people those things that have to be done but cannot be done, or cannot be done as well, by individuals, and that the most effective government is government closest to the people.

I Believe ... Good government is based upon the individual and that each person's ability, dignity, freedom, and responsibility must be honored and recognized.

I Believe ... The free enterprise and the encouragement of individual initiative and incentive have given this nation an economic system second to none.

I Believe ... Sound money management should be our goal.

I Believe ... In equal right, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, age, sex or national origin.

I Believe ... We must retain those principles of the past worth retaining, yet always be receptive to new ideas with an outlook broad enough to accommodate thoughtful change and varying points of view.

I Believe ... That Americans value and should preserve their feeling of national strength and pride, and at the same time share with people everywhere a desire for peace and freedom and the extension of human rights throughout the world.

I Believe ... The Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Florida Students Love President Bush!

Students for Bush from all over Florida celebrated their love for President Bush and racing as Valentine's Day coincided with one of the biggest NASCAR weekends of the year. Race events began Thursday, February 12th and culminated with the Daytona 500 on Sunday -- and Florida Students for Bush were there the whole time, volunteering at NASCAR events to register voters and sign up volunteers for the fall campaign.

Drivers Rusty Wallace and Bill Elliot, along with Congressman Tom Feeney, were among those who stopped by to greet fans and sign a banner supporting the President. Overall, nearly 40 students came out to volunteer and convey the President's positive message to racing fans from across America.

Britanne Sanderson, a sophomore at the University of Florida, summed up what this weekend was all about: "It was such an awesome opportunity to be here registering voters, especially people young and young at heart who will be voting for the first time this November. I saw several switches in party affiliation because of how much people love the President. I know I've made a big difference being here this weekend."
