Virginia Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling stopped by JMU last night for a pizza party with the College Republicans. He ate and mingled with the students, asking questions about our hometowns, majors, etc., and showing a genuine interest in getting to know more about each of us. Once he had a chance to meet everyone, we sat down and gave him our attention as he spoke on everything from his entry into politics to the importance of getting out to help campaign for GOP candidates next fall. He thanked us for being so interested/involved in politics and encouraged us to focus our efforts on helping John McCain, Jim Gilmore, and Bob Goodlatte win their respective elections, but jokingly added that we should also aim to stay on top of our studies in the process. He also took time to respond to several questions from club members following his address. I was quite pleased with the event and feel that it was a great opportunity to be able to hang out with the Lt. Gov. in the informal setting that the pizza party provided.
The DNR has a great article about it here.

cool, I didn't know you had kicked off a blog!
You will have to do a few guest editorials for the CRFV Blog.
Haha. Yes, I've been at this since January. I'm still trying to get the hang of it though.
Thanks for stopping by to check it out! :)
