About Us
Making waves in College Park...
 The College Republicans represent over 300 registered students and amount for nearly all of the conservative political activity existent on campus. The College Republicans in 1994 helped defeat campus professor Parris Glendening at the campus precint, providing Republican candidate Ellen Sauerbrey with 60% of the vote. In 1992, over 150 College Republicans "greeted" vice-presidental candidate Al Gore, distracting him enough to quip a hostile verbal assault.
Time and time again, the College Republicans at the University of Maryland have proven to be political movers and shakers, both at UMCP and throughout the state. Involved members are nearly guarenteed internships. Take a look at our internships page for details.

We believe in . . .
Balancing the Budget
America must pass and live by a balanced budget amendment. A balanced budget will provide lower interest rates, more jobs, increased earnings and a higher standard of living for all Americans.
Lower Taxes
We must reduce income taxes and eliminate the tax on capital gains. Lower taxes allow individuals to earn more and keep more of what they earn. With lower taxes, Americans have a better shot at realizing the American Dream.
Smaller and Smarter Government
The federal government must have a smaller role in our daily lives. The College Republicans support moving government out of Washington and closer to the people. "The powers not delegated to the United States...are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (U.S. Constitution, Amendment X)

Entitlement Reform
The welfare state is a corrupt and immoral system. College Republicans support the full phase out of federal welfare programs, including privitizating Social Security, thus truly ending welfare as we know it.
Tough on Crime
Most young Americans either know someone or have themselves been a victim of crime. The only way to curtail crime is to enforce the death penalty swiftly and appoint court justices who understand the rights of victims and who do not favor the rights of criminals.
Human Rights
The unborn child is a human life. The unborn child has a Constitutional right to pursue the American Dream and abortion simply denies individuals life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
