California Republican Party Launches Bold New Website at CAGOP.ORG

California Republican Party Launches Bold New Website at CAGOP.ORG

Mission is to give California Republicans the "best in the nation,"
strongest online tools for organizing and communicating

(SACRAMENTO) - Citing the need to provide California Republicans with the
best tools for the 2008 campaign, the California Republican Party today
announced the launch of its new website at www.cagop.org.

"Our goal is to provide California Republicans with the most useful and
sophisticated online tools for the campaign, combined with the latest,
continually updated information," said CRP Chairman Ron Nehring. "The new
cagop.org is the new hub of our communications operation for millions of
voters across the state."

The new site, launched today, is the culmination of months of continuous
work by a development team that included Jeff McGee with SunStar Media of
Monterey, Chairman Nehring, Director of Communications Hector Barajas,
Chief Operating Officer Michael Kamburowski, and Vice Chairman Tom Del
Beccaro.

"Technology is completely changing how we communicate in politics," said
Del Beccaro. "Volunteers, candidates, donors, elected officials and
Republican voters need tools that go way beyond the online brochure of the
past. Our new site delivers those tools."

Highlights of the New CAGOP.ORG

News Room All CRP press releases, statements, Chairman's Reports, Capitol
Updates, Washington Updates, plus audio and video archives and links to
other Republican news sources are all available at a glance on a single
page.

Your County Republican site visitors are encouraged to get involved with
their county Republican Party through a graphical interface allowing the
user to easily select and obtain online and live contact information for
their local Republican committee.

Contact the Media Users can share their opinions on today's issues using
a tool to reach their local print and talk radio outlets just by
selecting where they live. A built-in form provides checkboxes to reach
their local talk show hosts or newspaper opinion page.

Events Calendar with Events by County Visitors can see a list of
statewide Republican events, or those events taking place in their county.
County Chairmen will be provided an account through which they can add
Republican events in their county to the state website.

Party building In an effort to maximize the number of Republicans
volunteering their time or making contributions to the party, the new site
prominently features volunteer signup and secure online donation sections.
New volunteers who signup through the site will be provided to county
Republican committees and candidates, helping to build our grassroots
ranks.

As the 2008 campaign intensifies, even more tools will be added to
cagop.org. Announcements with information on new tools will be sent to CRP
members, volunteers, donors, elected officials, candidates and activists
as they're added.
