Operation Yellow Elephant

[MountainLaurel]

Got this in a professional listserv this morning. Thought DU might be interested in this attempt to enlist this generation of chickenhawks.

======

Objective: To motivate the College Republicans to vigorously defend
the vital work they're doing defending the homefront by holding
affirmative action bake sales, immigrant hunts, and subsidizing the
Scaife funding of Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, and Michelle Malkin
(see post below for more detail).

Method: Challenge the College Republicans to volunteer to fight in the war they demanded.

Mode: Nonviolent Leaderless Creative Expression

Target: 56th College Republican Biennial Convention
June 24-26, 2005
Crystal Gateway Marriott
Arlington, Virginia

5. When I called, the Army said to contact their Public Affairs office

Army Public Affairs Office
301-677-7034
301-677-7029

I called Public Affairs, and gave them the contact info for The Young Republicans that was prominently listed on their web site and therefore intended to be made public.

College Republican Convention
If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Holmes at 202-608-1411

How come The College Republicans' "resources" web page doesn't have links to any recruiters?

4. Contact Military recruiters ask them to attend The Young Republicans Conv.

Here is the location of the Young Republicans Convention

Here is the contact info for the local military recruiters.

I am going to err on the side of caution and be very selective with what information I post. DU moderators seem to be very conservative about how much contact information is too much.

I've deleted direct email addresses and the names of individuals.

Additional contact info available upon request.

6. Called the Navy. They were un-aware of the convention, too.

So far, neither the Army nor the Navy had been contacted to cover this event.

I was told to call Navy Public Affairs:
804-771-2001 ext 126

I spoke to a chief there, who transfered me to The Enlistment Programs Officer. The person in charge wasn't in, so I gave a message to their assistant.

He asked me what I wanted The Navy to do there at the convention.

I said maybe you could set-up a booth in the lobby. "Or, you could just walk around talking to people like you do at the mall. These are all people who supported the pResident and his policies, so you should have easy pickings there." I told him to call Stephanie Holmes to work-out the details.

So, if anyone else wants to call, the number is 804-771-2001 and ask for The Enlistment Programs Officer.

My next call is going to be to The Young Marines.
