Information On Becoming A Page for the Republican National Convention

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:32:23 +0000

The 2012 Republican National Convention will be here before we know it. Once again, we are very pleased to be organizing the Convention Page Program this summer in Tampa, Florida. Our mission is to develop a program that provides young adults with positive educational experiences while fostering a new generation of Republicans through participation and community service.

As part of our effort to ensure the 2012 Convention Page Program is the most successful ever, we would like to begin receiving your nominations.

Page duties will involve vital convention-related activities such as acting as floor runners, assisting with caucus meetings, and distributing official convention materials. In addition, there will be several other activities planned and duties may differ each day. Please be aware that pages are not assured floor credentials. The tasks they are assigned to perform at the convention will determine their access during any given session.

Pages must be 16 to 25 years old and must arrive prior to the start of the convention on Saturday, August 25, 2012 and remain in Tampa until the morning of Friday, August 31, 2012. They are expected to attend an orientation, work a full day, and attend all scheduled events. Those who do not report for scheduled activities may be asked to leave.

As you may recall, Pages will be responsible for paying for their own transportation to and from Tampa (including airport transfers to and from their hotel), lodging expenses, and any incidentals. The Committee on Arrangements (COA) will cover the costs of the ties and scarves for the men and women, respectively. Pages will be assigned a roommate and will be housed at a nearby hotel during the week. Upon acceptance, further information on the specific hotel and transportation fees will be sent to the participants.

It’s one of the more inconvenient truths about U.S. currency: It costs more than a penny to make a penny, and more than a nickel to make a nickel. Now, President Obama is trying to get Congress to grant him permission to lower the cost of minting coins. But making a more inexpensive penny won’t be easy. (more…)

Important but unheard of treaties

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:20:19 +0000

These treaties are all to the major disadvantage of the USA. It’s worse than ludicrous to consider signing them, it’s malfeasance in office. Why would any sane American want to freely give the rest of the world power over us which gains us nothing and costs us in money or freedom? (more…)
