DCA breaks for summer

As summer approaches and final exams await the members of the DePaul Conservative Alliance, our meetings and events have officially finished for the year. The members of the DCA wish to thank you for visiting our website and learning what our organization is all about. We would like to acknowledge graduating seniors Natalie Karam, DePaul College Republicans President and Joseph Blewitt, Lincoln Park Statesman Editor-in-chief, and thank them for their dedication.

If you are interested in learning more about our organization, joining, or coming to a meeting, email contact@depaulca.org so that you may be added to our email list.

Chris Simcox

The DePaul Conservative Alliance invites you to a presentation on Illegal Immigration with Chris Simcox.

At DePaul University on Monday, May 19, Mr. Simcox will be discussing the border of Mexico to the United States and its implications surrounding Illegal Immigration and securing the southern boundary.

Please be sure to arrive early for this limited-seating event. Admission precedence will be given to those with DePaul University identification. Questions and answers will follow.

Chris Simcox is the cofounder of the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps.

Note: In order to accommodate more guests the venue has been changed to The Sullivan Athletic Center. Student Life requests that a DePaul University ID be presented for admission. Please refrain from bringing electronic devices, bags, backpacks, and bottles.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. As always, any questions you have are welcome and may be emailed to contact@depaulca.org.

Does God Want us to Carry Guns?

Mick Paskiewicz, Vice President of the DCA, was cited in the Chicago Tribune blog "The Seeker" this past Tuesday in relating the prerogative of self-defense to divine right. Manya Brachear quotes Paskiewicz on the vulnerability of DePaul in regard to Monday's bomb threats downtown.

"Announcing gun-free zones gives criminals who already aren’t going to abide by the law an easy target," he said. "They know they’re not going to be contested if they decide to engage in murderous acts. It sounds like a vigilante effort but it’s really not."
