Attendance
The YRLC springboard meeting was a wonderful mix of education, socializing, and site seeing. Members from the GFYRC who attended were Alexandra Kendrick Tabarrok (national committee woman), Michael Tabarrok (general counsel), Dana Gordon (YRNF membership recruitment chairman). Clint Murphy (national committee man) was attending the top gun leadership class and thus was not present at YRLC.
Business
During the Board meeting we were presented with three Amendments. Chairman Jessica Colon on behalf of Ron Herbison proposed the first amendment. And called for disciplinary procedures upon an YRNF member who violated the YRNF governing documents or who went against the principles of the YRNF. This amendment was changed in committee to exclude the monetary penalties. And went to a vote by the members of the national committee. It was voted by the members to be sent back to committee by a roll call vote. The seconded Amendment regarded the state chairman’s association and inserted the phrase “for a term defined in the supplemental rules. Any vacancy in the office of the chairman shall be filled in accordance with the supplemental rules of the association.” This amendment passed the national committee by standing vote. The third amendment would have accomplished the same goal as the second amendment and thus was resented by its author Kerry Sullivan.
Social
Our YRLC began with a welcome reception at the Liaison Hotel with Minority Leader
Boehner in the Hill Room. He gave a rousing speech and answered many questions. That next Thursday morning we visited the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives with Congressman Kevin McCarthy U.S. House of Representatives, he spoke about his days as a young republican a told a couple of stories about what had happened on the floor. After we finished our floor visit we posed for a group picture by Capitol Hill Photographer on steps of the U.S. Capitol. Then we were led on a tour of the U.S. Capitol Building. After that was over we went to lunch at the Capital Hill Club and enjoyed the revealing of the U.S. House Republican Policy Agenda with U.S. House Republican Policy Committee Chairman, Congressman Thaddeus McCotter and Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform. That afternoon we attended the YRLC Training Tracks which were available in Communications, Leadership, Political Action and Fundraising at Liaison Hotel. Before we left for the Iraqi Embassy we attended a Republican National Committee Briefing with Chairman Mike Duncan and a reports by RNC Communications Director. Then we rode over to the reception with the Iraqi Ambassador and Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform. That next Friday morning we received an East Wing Tour of White House White and then went to a House Briefing with the Honorable Ed Gillespie. Lunch followed at the Liaison Hotel with Newt Gingrich, author of Real Change and Book Signing. YRLC offered Policy Panels in the afternoon. And for dinner a Vice Presidential Straw Poll and A Conversation with Presidential Strategists Frank Donatelli and Ron Kaufman with Moderator Terry Campo, former YRNF Chairman, 1989-1991 and current President, YR Alumni association. Saturday we had lunch with Michael Steele. And then held our Republican Leadership Conference National Federation Spring Board Meeting. That evening we started off with a cocktail party and then finished our evening with the Young Republican Leadership Conference Gala Dinner with Senator Trent Lott.

Murphy has been involved for a number of years in the Republican Party in Georgia , as well as in Washington , DC and in Iowa . Murphy got his first taste of politics in 1990 as a young volunteer for Johnny Isakson in his campaign for Governor. Murphy credits that as being the spark that started his interest in getting involved with Republican politics.
Murphy’s first job out of college was on the staff of the late US Senator Paul D. Coverdell. He went on to work as a fundraiser at the National Republican Congressional Committee, serve in the Bush Administration, run a Congressional Campaign, and work in Iowa during the 2002 elections.
In 2003, Murphy returned to Savannah to begin his career in real estate. When Johnny Isakson announced for the Senate seat, Murphy signed up to co-chair his campaign in Savannah . Murphy was an early supporter of Casey Cagle in his campaign to become the first Republican elected to the office of Lt. Governor and helped lead the campaign on the coast.
Presently, Clint Murphy is on the Georgia Advisory Committee for John McCain for President and serves as Vice Chairman of the Savannah Young Republicans. Murphy serves as Chairman of the Chatham County Urban Transportation Citizens Advisory Committee and in 2007 ran unsuccessfully for the Savannah City Council.

Josh Mcoon Resigns as National Commitee Man
Please consider this my letter of resignation from the position of NationalCommitteeman. It has become evident to me that due to the mutual hostilitybetween the yrnf and the gfyrc that it is impossible for me to serve the yrnfwhile attending meetings to form a breakaway group. I will do all I can tosupport both orgs in the future. I recommend that my successor be clint murphy,since he had a passion for this position and his campaign is over.

Josh McKoon
