DCYRs announce Persley: “The candidate for the People, not the politicians.”

Eight D.C. Young Republicans were out in force for several hours on Saturday, distributing hundreds of flyers and registering voters in five wards. The flyers informed D.C. voters of Erran Persley's candidacy for Congress against Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.

Persley is not afraid to run as a real Republican. D.C. voters were informed of Persley's latest position announcements, including:

● Voting Rights in Congress for the District
● Pro-School Choice for needy families
● Against partial birth abortion
● Simplify the tax code to promote fairness and economic opportunity
● Break the cycle of poverty by empowering people to succeed
● Pro-faith-based initiatives:
empowering religious institutions to address community needs.

D.C. residents were largely receptive to Erran's message. However, one citizen outside Brookland Metro Station was unable to handle free speech. Upon being handed a flyer and briefly reading it, the man exclaimed "You're a Republican?!" He then proceded to violently rip the flyer into small pieces, drop the remains on the sidewalk, and walk away without another word. Someone call Greenpeace-- this litterer needs his membership revoked.
