COVERING REPUBLICAN LIFE AT THE COOLEST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD!
Vol. 4, No. 1 The Official Newspaper of the Evans High School Teen Age Republicans September 2010
DEAREST NANCY:
We, the CONSERVATIVE students of EHS, can’t do any-
thing to stop your liberal San Francisco district from re-
electing you, but we will do everything we can to make sure
you will not be re-elected Speaker of the House. We are fed
up with your socialist agenda chipping away at our freedom.
We are tired of you spending money that our nation does not
have on programs that do not work and leaving OUR GEN-
ERATION with the debt. It’s called “generational theft” and
we plan on getting you out before you steal any more of our
money. Previous generations have worked to give the next a
better life. You have tried your best to make sure ours is
worse. Some people might like the idea of depending on
government for everything. WE’D rather earn what we get.
So Nancy, we hope you’ve enjoyed your reign as the worst
Speaker of the House in history because on November 2,
2010, you and your liberal friends will go down in defeat!
Just sayin’ - The Conservative Students of EHS.
