Early this week we posted about some internal strife at USC College Republicans. The organization has come together in the best interest of the group, and is now looking towards the future.
A Press Release from USC College Republicans:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 28, 2009
USC College Republicans’ Statement on Chairman’s Resignation
“At our chapter meeting yesterday, Chairman Ben Myers resigned his position with the USC College Republicans, saying a change in leadership was necessary for our organization to move forward and repair the damage caused by a series of mistakes he made while acting on behalf of the organization. Several of his actions were made unilaterally, reflected poorly on our organization, and were conducted without the consent or authorization of the USC College Republicans Executive Board. He is welcome to remain a member of the group, but is not authorized to speak on behalf of the organization.
“Our group serves a purpose that is greater than a single member, event or chapter leader. While we are working toward college degrees, the Democratic Congress has proposed a federal spending spree that threatens to burden our generation with trillions of dollars in debt and higher taxes. Even worse, their spending plans won’t create the jobs they promise, nor stimulate our nation’s crippled economy.
“The Republican ideals of low taxes, strong national defense and more responsible governance are a winning message for our generation’s future. USC College Republicans are committed to spreading that important message across this campus. Empowered by the enthusiasm of our members, we’re looking forward to an active slate of campus events, state conferences and chapter meetings throughout the upcoming semester.”
NOTES:
- Consistent with the chapter’s Constitution, Vice Chairman Steve Hagemann assumed the duties of Acting Chairman upon Ben Myers’ resignation last night. At present, no special election has been scheduled prior to our annual chapter elections at the end of the spring semester. All other officer positions remain the same.

It’s good to see CRs getting things done and moving forwards, infighting can kill groups like this, so i’m glad that USC was able to deal with their problems. that last post about “self-destruction” had some crazy comments is it all over now? Is Karl Rove still going to USC? This press release doesn’t say much…
