New Video From The National Federation of Republican Women!!

(Promotional text written by NFRW)
ABOUT THE VIDEO
The NFRW's “I am a Republican!” video is a public relations tool featuring a diverse group of more than 45 Federation members and Republican women leaders such as Lynne Cheney, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and former EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman. The final product is a three-minute, upbeat video anchored at the beginning and end with information about the NFRW and its mission. In the core of the video, participants explain the commonly-held beliefs of Republicans and pledge with enthusiastic voices their allegiance to the GOP.
PURPOSE OF THE VIDEO
Demonstrating the diversity of the NFRW and the accessibility of the Republican Party, the video illustrates to women from all walks of life that our organization’s members share their values and beliefs, and that we want them to join us in the cause of good government. It is an open invitation to women everywhere and communicates a powerful message: no matter who you are or where you come from, there is a place for you in the NFRW and in the Republican Party.
OUR GOALS
Our goals are to raise the Federation’s name identification and to give our organization more credibility with the public, thereby increasing our membership, boosting our profile and electing more Republicans.
