STATEMENT FROM NYCRSC CHAIRWOMAN ERIN MCTIERNAN
McTiernan condemns the launching of http://ny4truth.blogspot.com/

Over the past few months I have sat back and ignored the adolescent lies and attacks that my opponent has launched upon myself and the hard working members of the New York College Republican Executive Board. Lies, deceit, and division are the darkest parts of a campaign and represent a very dark chapter in the history of the New York College Republicans.

The recent baseless array of lies and attacks that my opponent has attempted to unleash over the past few months and the most recent launch of http://ny4truth.blogspot.com/, attacking my opponent, represents the darkest days of the NY College Republicans.

These types of attacks are exactly what we have been able to move away from over the past year. We are now a united organization working every day to not only improve every individual chapter in the state, but to also help build the Republican Party in New York and spread the ideals of the Republican Party across college campuses. We have a lot to be proud of and a lot more to accomplish over the next year. A negative attack upon anyone in this organization is counterproductive and distracts from our overall goal of continuing the progress.

Although I do not believe that my opponent has the experience or ideas to lead the New York College Republicans, I do not feel that this type of campaigning is good for New York. We have too much to be proud of to resort to this type of internal attacks. I understand that it is in my opponent's best interest to run a campaign of attacks, lies, and mud slinging when he does not have a record of accomplishments to run on nor a vision for the future of our organization. However, I am hopeful that he and the creator of this repulsive blog would reconsider their actions in the best interest of the New York College Republicans.

Today I call upon my opponent to commit to a fair and ethical campaign and that the developer of http://ny4truth.blogspot.com/ to immediately take down the site. These attacks distracts from out many accomplishments that we as a united team have been able to achieve in the last year, and it diverts our attention away from our goals to take the New York College Republicans to the next level.

As a result of the hard work of our State Board over the last year we are now a strong, united organization, but we still have a lot of work to accomplish. Please do not let these attacks discourage any of us from continuing that success.
