To ensure the most effective 5 year celebration in the midst of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, the Wabash Conservative Union staff, leadership, and board made the decision to move Growing to Last to Fall 2012. The event will be held at Wabash College, and will feature a new speaker that carries on Andrew Breitbart’s legacy, and that of the Wabash Conservative Union.
Please check back for updates as they develop.
The Wabash Conservative Union was utterly saddened of the recent passing of Andrew Breitbart. Mr. Breitbart was a true patriot for his country, and we all should follow his example of not being afraid to speak the inconvenient truths. Mr. Breitbart was set to speak at Wabash College on April 21. Updates are forthcoming regarding the event.
The Wabash Conservative Union will celebrate 5 years at Wabash College on Saturday April 21, at 7pm. We hope to see you there to learn more about how WCU has become a permanent voice at Wabash College. But, we’re only beginning the growth. WCU is branching into new realms of conservatism at Wabash College! The keynote speaker will be Andrew Breitbart of Breitbart.TV, BigGovernment.com, frequent cable news contributor, and author of Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!.

2011 was a magnificent year for the Wabash Conservative Union Events program. Through support of Wabash College, supporters of WCU, and a the help of Young America’s Foundation, we were able to bring in top-notch speakers.
It all started in March with our first visitor to campus, Star Parker. Star delivered a bold and straight-forward talk on the continuation of government-endorsed welfare and poverty among minorities in urban areas. Star goes as far to say that the culture of dependency within the inner-city is a government “plantation” that does not instill values of hard work or moral behavior, and has led to an increased dependence on abortion. In April, WCU was able to bring former Congressman and Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo to campus. Mr. Tancredo spoke on the importance of a melting-pot, prosperous United States. In his mind, to most effectively ensure that the US is a melting pot, immigrants need to assimilate into the English language as well as maintain definitive cultural aspects and heritage. Finally in September, WCU was proud to welcome Jimmy LaSalvia of GOProud. Jimmy spoke on the importance of broadening the tent of conservatism to include gay Americans. He offered 2008 exit polling data, as well as working relationships with various tea party and conservative groups in DC to prove the fact that the “number one goal is to defeat Barack Obama in 2012.”
As a group, we were glad to bring in such a wide array of opinions and intellect to Wabash College. With the diverse variety of knowledge came large student crowds and larger-than-expected faculty participation. The Wabash Conservative Union is in an up-swing. There’s no doubt about it. We would like to thank our readers of The Phoenix, and loyal visitors to our website. In addition, we would like to extend a deep gratitude to our donors. Without your help, these events would not be possible. If you have never contributed to WCU, please consider a small gift today. Our donation link is accessible at the top of the page.
