The Cornell Republicans are a registered student organization of Cornell University, dedicated to the promotion of limited government, individual freedom, and a strong national defense. Cornell Republicans promotes the principles of the Republican Party at Cornell University, in Ithaca, and in New York State through hosting prominent speakers, campaigning for candidates, participating in debates with other campus political organizations, and taking part in conservative conferences. We have also debated the Cornell Democrats on topics such as economic policy and social issues. In order to ingrain ourselves in the national context and to participate in the largest gathering of conservatives in America, we have participated in the Conservative Political Action Conference, where we have met John Thune, Jim DeMint, and Michelle Bachmann, among others, and heard the likes of Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld. Today, we look to expand and reach a wider audience to better promote the principles of the Republican Party.
