YAF Leadership Conference... More Pictures coming soon!


Last weekend Stephanee, Amberlee and Shelly left Flagstaff
at 3 A.M, (yes A.M.) to make the nine plus hour trip to
the Young Americas Foundation West Coast Leadership
Conference in beautiful Santa Barbra, Calf.
The trip included a revealing game of 20
Questions, arguments with a malfunctioning Garmin,
several interesting but unintentional detours and
the running over of already-ran-over coyote road kill.

And that was just the road trip!

At the actual conference the the girls had the
opportunity to meet and take photographs with
Governor Mitt Romney and his lovely wife Ann.
National Review contributor Victor Davis Hanson spoke
along with Andrew Breitbart from breitbart.co. Also,
ACORN scandal sensation Hannah Giles gave the
students advice to combat liberalism encouraging
young conservatives to,"Attack, attack, attack!".

The speakers were motivating and informative,
especially given the opportunity to meet Mitt Romney,
but the highlight of the trip was the visit to the
Western White House. The NAU Conservatives
traveled with YAF to the Reagan Ranch and toured
the house, tack barn and Secret Service station.

Congressman Joe (You lie!) Wilson spoke at the ranch and
there was also a panel discussion where
the NAU Conservatives learned a new word:
Obamagasm- which urbandictionary.com defines as:
"The peak of excitement that occurs when Obama does
anything good, characterized by strong feelings
of pleasure, usually accompanied by celebration.
Occasionally results in college students
(CENSORED)... in their trousers at
the sight of Obama winning a campaign."

NAU Conservatives Taking a Swing at Socialism!

By Richelle Morin
11/09/2009

On Monday November 9, 2009 the NAU Conservatives
happily celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the
Berlin Wall. A mock wall was created using sheet rock and
decorated by the NAU Conservatives. Students also
made contributions to the wall. The wall placed in the
ped-way (sidewalk) to obstruct students on their way to
and from classes to symbolize the intrusive barrier that
blocked East Germany from the rest of the world.
Some students were glad to see that the day was being
celebrated. Two girls from Russian told the NAU that life
has been much better for everyone since the fall of the
wall and the USSR. Other students were not as enthusiastic
to see the NAU Conservatives exercising theirs rights
to peacefully assemble or freedom of speech but were quick
in their defense of Communism -- strange-- yes unexpected--no.
NAU, like many other colleges, has a distinct leftist point
of view that is promoted in the classroom and in the student body.








NAU Conservatives Big Pimpin'

On October 30th the NAU Conservatives played catch the
pimp and ho to bring awareness to the ACORN scandal--
wait which one you ask? The the one where ACORN was
assisting a prostitute and pimp secure a home loan so they
could pimp out underage illegal El Salvadorian girls or the
scandal involving dead people and the Dallas Cowboys
registering to vote? Well the answer dear friend is both.
Two NAU Conservatives dressed as a pimp and ho and
ran around north campus and handed out acorns to
students who "caught" them. Students would turn the
acorns in for a chance to win $50 dollars or one of five
great conservative books graciously donated by
Campus Reform.

Not Evil Just Wrong No-- Evil and Wrong

By Richelle Morin
10/23/2009

On October 22nd the NAU Conservatives screened the new
documentary Not Evil Just Wrong directed by Irish film makers
Phelim McAleer & Ann McElhinney. Over 70 students were at the
screening and news of the event was even picked up by NAZ Today.
You can visit the website at: http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/home

The documentary rebuked several of Al Gore's foundational claims
of "Global Warming." Those included the infamous "hockey stick"
chart that illustrated a jump in global temperatures in recent
decades, that sea levels would rise up to 20 feet and that polar
bears are going extinct, when in fact they are not.
The movie attempted to show the human cost of alarmist science,
the needless deaths of tens of millions as a result of the banning
of the chemical pesticide DDT, mainly in Africa.

No More Che Day


On October 9th we, the proud and provocative NAU Conservatives, celebrated No More Che Day. We handed out posters and fliers from the Young America's Foundation and spoke to students on the pedway. The posters we handed out showed the infamous beret donning portrait of Che; his face was recreated by using a collage of the pictures of his victims. Most NAU students were receptive of the real face of Che. Many openly acknowledged that they knew little about the guy aside from the fact that his face was a commonly seen on T-shirts and that he was from South America. We were more than happy to reveal the real face of Che.

For more information on Che Guevara visit the YAF website featuring a great clip by Cuban American author and columnist Humberto Fontova titled "Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots who Idolize Him." I highly recommend checking it out... and who knows maybe his book will make it on to the NAU Conservative Book Raffle list. http://www.yaf.org/videogallery.aspx?id=403

Tea Party Express

By Richelle Morin

On August 31st the NAU Conservatives participated in the Tea Party Express Rally. The NAU student newspaper ran a story about the event. While the reporter did a great job fairly covering the event, sadly the same cannot be said about the Arizona Democratic Party Co-Chair.

The following link is to the Lumberjack article online. Do we look unpatriotic to you?
