College Republicans Statewide Unite for 9/11 Never Forget Remembrance

Phoenix, AZ – College Republicans across Arizona have united at universities and colleges for a 9/11 Never Forget Remembrance in honor of those who passed away in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and those still fighting for our freedoms bravely across seas. 

Andrew Clark, state Chairman of the Arizona Federation of College Republicans stated, “As College Republicans, we have a duty to remember those men and women who have paid the ultimate price of freedom.  We are privileged to lead an effort around the state to ensure that time will never destroy the memory of these patriots.” In order to do this, each college will be displaying American flags representative of every victim lost in the terrorist attacks in a way that is unique to that campus. 

Listed below are the times and locations of the memorial gatherings:  

Arizona State University Tempe: all day at the Memorial Union there will be a silent remembrance planted around the Memorial Union.

Arizona State University West: 10:00am on ASU West’s Fletcher Lawn with speakers Governor Jan Brewer, Representative Sam Crump, Representative Jim Wiers, Radio host Mike Broomhead, Mike McAvoy, a citizen present in New York at the time of the attacks, and student body President Andrew Clark.

Mesa Community College: Will be accepting donations Tuesday-Thursday 10am-2pm outside the clock tower and the flags will be displayed on 9/11 with a moment of silence on that day at 9:11am. Donation proceeds will go to the Families of Freedom Fund.

About Arizona Federation of College Republicans: We are an organization leading the next generation of conservative minds, thinkers and leaders across the state.

In an attempt to derail the Obama administration’s takeover of the health care industry, organizers have dubbed the first day back to work for Congress on Tuesday September 8th as “National Pull the Plug Day.”

In recognition of the fact that a government takeover of the health care industry will signify the death of even more of our free will, one more of our freedoms and liberties, the organizers are encouraging every American to wear something black. One of the principle organizers, Bill Diedering, wants everyone to understand that “this is not a fashion statement, it’s a political statement.”

The idea sprung up from a small group of friends having a casual conversation over dinner one night in mid-August. The group was frustrated that they don’t feel they are being heard by their elected officials. “Our president, who is the most accomplished community organizer to ever sit in the Oval Office would be very proud of us,” deadpanned Diedering.

Co-organizer, Randy Hunt, says, “We are calling on all concerned citizens to join with us and show Washington that this nation still belongs to the people. Our elected officials need to understand that we are aware of their systematic elimination of our personal liberties.”

Diedering says, “It remains to be seen how successful Pull the Plug Day will be, but we are very optimistic. Never underestimate the power of social networking, especially when you have a good message.” This small group of citizens is relying on the Internet to spread the word.

The website, www.pulltheplugonobamacare.org includes a series of videos that the group feels show the true motivation of those who are pushing a government-controlled health care system.

The organizers’ website received thousands of hits and countless messages of encouragement shortly after its activation. They believe there are millions of Americans who can’t attend a town hall meeting but want to find a way to get the attention of their elected officials. “If everyone tells their friends, and they tell their friends, we can really make ourselves heard,” Diedering says.

On September 2nd, the Embry Riddle College Republicans represented by tabling for member recruitment at Riddle’s biggest kick off event of the year. Congrats to the College Republicans in Prescott as they signed up 35 members making this their biggest recruiting event ever!

The meeting was an absolute success! We featured three guest speakers who were eloquent, passionate and devoted to the values and principles we hold dear as Republicans. In addition we passed one funding bill which allowed NAU to purchase flags for their 9/11 memorial event! Below is contact information for all three of our speakers:
