                        HON. ROBERT B. ADERHOLT

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2012

  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the outstanding 
young men and women of the Cullman Area Teenage Republican Club for 
being named the Most Outstanding Teenage Republican Club in the Nation 
for the second year in a row at the National Teenage Republican 
Leadership Conference. These fine young men and women should be 
applauded for their dedication and hard work. Together, they spent over 
2,300 hours participating in special projects, grassroots outreach, and 
community activities.
  This organization has also had some outstanding leadership. Under the 
guidance of Republican State Executive Committee member Rebecca Branch, 
conservative teenagers in Cullman formed the Cullman Area Teenage 
Republican Club and found an avenue by which they could impact 
elections at all levels. Rebecca has been a shining example and has 
provided real leadership to these students over the years.
  In addition, Daniel Robinson, a 2012 graduate of Cullman High School, 
has been recognized as the Most Outstanding Republican in the Nation. 
Daniel not only worked to increase membership in Cullman, but also 
helped start new Teen Republican Organizations in Baldwin, Shelby, 
Madison and Morgan counties. Daniel plans to continue his education at 
Auburn university this fall and looks forward to having the opportunity 
to work with Auburn's Young Republicans this fall.
  These exceptional young people have worked diligently to recruit 
Alabama youth, involve them in the political process, and promote the 
understanding of the conservative philosophy. It is encouraging to see 
these young students from Alabama's Fourth District do such great 
things and I applaud them for their accomplishments.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege to honor the members of the 
Cullman Area Teenage Republican Club for their achievement and 
unwavering resolution in building this organization for the 
conservative youth of Alabama. I join their family, friends, and 
colleagues in congratulating them on receiving this award.
