Davidson vs Gourley
Written by Nate on March 8th, 2005Davidson has challenged Gourley to a debate! It will be interesting to see what happens as Gourley has been starting to feel the heat.
Davidson Challenges Gourley to Series of Debates
LOS ANGELES, CA - Today, Michael Davidson challenged his opponent, Paul Gourley, to a series of debates at upcoming College Republican state conventions.
In a letter to Mr. Gourley, Davidson wrote:
“In the spirit of promoting an open and honest discussion about the future of the College Republican National Committee, I am inviting you to join me in a series of debates at College Republican state conventions…around the country.”
Davidson said a series of debates would provide both candidates with the opportunity to speak, unfiltered, to the College Republicans that they hope to serve as CRNC Chairman:
“College Republicans are asking questions and they deserve answers, direct from you and me,” Davidson wrote. “No spin. No surrogate speakers. No rumors or innuendo. It’s time for us to take our case directly to College Republicans everywhere.”
Davidson is asking state federations that are interested in hosting a debate to submit a request to both campaigns. Pending the Gourley campaign’s acceptance of the challenge, the campaigns will then work together to mutually agree on the specifics of the debates.
If your state federation would like to host a debate, please submit requests to both the Davidson campaign at Info@YourCRNC.org and to the Gourley campaign at Campaign@GourleyforChairman.com.
As part of the proposal, Michael Davidson has also pledged to provide half of the necessary funding to have the debates recorded and posted online for all to view.

Run and hide Gourley….. run and hide.

A smart move by the Davidson campaign, though it would be highly unlikely for the Gourley campaign will take him up on it.

Do you think that is because Gourley is illiterate?

C’mon now, Gourley isn’t illiterate. He read those letters, remember? Signed them, too! This boy can read and write - not very well - but he can do it!

Yup, he can add and subtract too. 20 million in revenue minus 19.2 million to RDI equals 800,000 bucks for us little College Republicans. He is the treasurer ya know…
Davidson’s plan to split the money raised by the CRNC with the state federation where it was raised is sounding pretty good right now. I’ve had enough “fuzzy math” and have certainly had enough of Gourley’s “non-issue” fundraising scandal.

I would like to officially announce the candidacy of Douglas Van Ness for the office of National Chairman. He has been a devoted College Republican at the University at Albany in the Empire State. We believe he will serve the Nation well, as he has served in the United States Navy, representing the core issues that are important to the Republican Party. His platform and web-site will be announced in the next few weeks. He can be reached at douglasvanness@gmail.com
