Background

What part of us not wanting our names printed in Wikipedia do you not understand? Cody A. Bailey endorses Romney. The rest of us aren't even Republicans. THis is for the crazy TARS kid who keeps talking to Cody. Lol.

Organization (National-State-County)

The TARs are organized in chapters across the nation. There are federations in most states, and clubs in counties and high schools around the nation. The organization structure consists of:

National TARs - The National TAR office serves only two main functions 1. To serve as an information clearing house to provide interested teens information on existing clubs or provide resources and advice on starting a club in areas that do not already have one. 2. Holding a National Teenage Leadership Conference (TLC) at which a closer overview of government on the national level is given, along with several seminars on being effective leaders and how to assist with campaigns. Awards are also given recognizing Outstanding Local and State Clubs, and an Outstanding Individual TAR.

State TAR federations As in the Republican Party, the majority of TAR involvement takes place on the State level. In most states they will receive some financial support from the party.The oldest recorded Teen Age Republican Federation is in South DAKOTA. This Federation was formed in 1960. [1] Most state organizations elect an executive board which differs in composition from State to State depending on their constitution. The executive board represents the members of the organization to the public and to the state party. In some Federations statewide events are held such as a summer camp or a mock legislative session.

County and Local Clubs Subordinate to the State Organization, county or even city or school clubs are formed. These Organizations also elect an executive Board and assist candidates on the local level.

2008 election

On a May meeting the Wayne County TARS voted to publicly endorse former Mass. Governor W. Mitt Romney for President of the United States. Also on October 1, 2007 the group had joined others in calling for the recall of state elected officials such as the governor and legislators that voted to increase taxes.
