Greetings all! My name is Tom Oster and I am the president of Santa Monica College Republicans. This year, we have been fortunate enough to get Governor Schwarzenegger to come to speak at our graduation commencement on June 14th.
At the moment, however, Gov. Schwarzenegger is, as most of you probably know, being relentlessly pursued and hounded throughout the state by far-left groups, unions and other assorted characters. Faculty and staff on our campus, leftist on-campus groups and outside organizations are coordinating to protest and disrupt our graduation.
We mean to oppose them and stand in support of our own graduation. SMC Republicans, formed in 2003, exists to oppose exactly these sort of on-campus antics. Right now, we are looking for supporters and allies to come to the commencement to support us and the Governor and stand against the crazies.
Our commencement will be on Tuesday, June 14th, starting at 5 pm. It will be at Santa Monica College, 1900 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA. Right now, we are organizing when and where we can have supporters meet and be placed.
We can be contacted at smcrepublicans@yahoo.com.
Thanks again, Tom Oster President, SMC Republicans
Thanks for the info!!!
Welcome to Free Republic, BTW...
You may want to be introduced to our site for ground rules.
I've been on before, but it's been awhile.
Did I screw up on one of the rules?
That may be, but we still need bodies.
We don't want our own commencement disrupted.

I posted your announcement to the California State Board, so people will see it there too.

Thank you.
Bumpin' and hopin' to join y'all - worthy cause!
Vanity posts have to be marked as such.
Its kinda a vanity, but don't sweat it, its very worthy.
Apologies. Didn't mean to seem that way.
Just trying to get bodies out there.
Good to go. Hope to see you there!
This is an announcement, not a personal opinion/rant that would be "vanity".
This is an annoucement about the GOVERNOR of CALIFORNIA attending a commencement at a Los Angeles area college.
Many in the area will be interested.
"Santa Monica College Republicans"
I am glad to hear that there are College Republicans in the Socialist Republic of Santa Monica.
It's great that you got Arnold to come to your commencement.
Yeah, sometimes I feel like we're Mosby's Confederacy or something. Or the state of Israel, surrounded by enemies.
Arnold's an alum.
"Arnold's an alum."

I didn't realize it. I hope there will be a huges friendly crowd to totally overwhelm the detractors.
typo... : "huge crowd"
