From Enrico Cabredo/The Daily Targum

We can be friendly with the College Republicans before and after the event, but we certainly can deliver a punch to their wayward policies at the debate that takes place every semester. A great thanks to V.P. Dan Pereira and Zach for representing the RU Dems at the debate! Interested in promoting the party next semester, keep a watch on this page or your emails next semester and you can certainly be trained to be a master orator.
