Davis College Republicans

As the sole politically vocal conservative group at UC Davis, it is the responsibility of the Davis College Republicans (DCR) to present the "other side" on our college campus. The DCR call to duty is: "add to the diversity of opinions because if we don't do it, who will?" The determination to establish a solid conservative presence on this campus has made DCR one of the most successful campus clubs. DCR membership ballooned to over 800 in the 2003-04 school year, making it one of the largest clubs on campus. It is also currently the largest College Republican chapter in the state of California.

DCR has served as a successful stepping-stone for many members into the field of politics. The current occupations alumni range from Campaign Managers for targeted (real) Assembly and Senate Races to Legislative Directors for Congressmen. It serves as a very valuable asset to the California Republican Party through the various objectives of the club: ranging from providing training resources new members to assisting with grassroots Republican efforts.

DCR guest speakers in 2005 have included Actor and Comedian John Ohurley, Former US Treasurer Rosario Marin, Former Congressman Jim Rogan, Author and activist David Horowitz, and KFBK talk show host Mark Williams. In 2007 DCR brought former PLO terrorist Walid Shoebat to Freeborn Hall to give a lecture on the dangers of terrorism and radicalism.

2007-03-01 23:31:32   Was DCR affiliated with the Cindy Sheehan protest? —StevenDaubert

• 2007-03-01 23:34:02   There were some Republican members but I can't confirm if it was an official group function —SteveOstrowski

• 2007-03-02 20:23:00   Did you mean to say that you aren't sure if it was an official group function? The phrasing as it is leaves open the possibility that you know and you just can't say. —JasonAller
  

• I am going to talk to an officer in DCR to confirm either way. A lot of them were at the protests but DCR wasn't in a position to control everyone who just happened to be there protesting. DCR can certaintly tell people what is going on, but it may not have been an "official" event. —SteveOstrowski
  

In afterthought and for the record I knew the guy who championed it and how he was tied to DCR (before I asked) I just wanted to watch Steve hem and haw with some BS. —StevenDaubert

2008-11-26 08:21:08   Have you guys thought about getting protection as a minority group on campus? I don't envy you. I don't sympathize either. But I definitely don't envy you. —condemned2bfree

• Why would they need protection? —DavidGrundler
  

• What does "protection as a minority group" even mean? Armed guards? Convoys? Helicopter escorts? —PaulHarms
  

• The ACLU would be a nice start. - GregWebb
