California College Republicans Convention
This year’s spring CCR was held in Santa Clara, hosted by the Santa Cruz College Republicans. Prominent speakers included Tony Strickland on behalf of Mitt Romney, Abel Maldonado, Larry Greenfield of the Republican Jewish Coalition, internet mogul Andrew Breitbart, a video appearance of filmmaker Evan Maloney, Shawn and Michelle Steel, and others. Voting for the new state chairman took place on Sunday, and resulted in a sweep of “Team Activate”, the slate headed by Ryan Clumpner, defeating the “Take Back CCR” slate, headed by BCR’s own Josiah Prendergast. Here’s some photographic evidence of the good times enjoyed by all!

Myself and Breitbart
My highlights: enjoying the Mr Maloney’s presentation-via-video regarding his upcoming movie “Indoctrinate U” that deals with censorship and discrimination of conservatives on college campuses. Also, the amusing albeit random/rambling speech given by Breitbart about meeting Matt Drudge and being a part of the internet’s early boom during the Lewinski era. And of course, the socializing. I enjoyed both’s slate’s hospitality suites. I didn’t know until that weekend that Bennigan’s was an actual restaurant!
