Lawrenceville, NJ, October 29, 2008 – The Rider University College Republicans are hosting a “Country First” Rally to energize the Republican Party in the waning days of the 2008 election season.

The rally will be held on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 in the Cavalla Room of the Bart Luedeke Center. From 6 pm to 9 pm, Republicans from across the state will gear up for the blitz weekend, which is the final campaign push before Election Day. “We are expecting about 200 people,” says Joshua Hursa, Chairman of the Rider University College Republicans. Hursa adds, “We have an exciting list of speakers and distinguished guests. We feel holding a rally is important in the last days before the election. The Republican Party needs to come together to push our candidates over the finish line.”

Invited speakers include New Jersey GOP State Chairman Tom Wilson; State Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean Jr.; Former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan, NJ Director of Americans for Prosperity; John Crowley, Honorary Chairman of Building the New Majority; Assemblyman Richard Merkt, Republican Candidate for Governor; James McSorley, Candidate for Mercer County Sheriff; and Mayor David Fried, Robbinsville.
