Summer Reading List, Comin In Hot

If you’re new here, you might not know how much I love books. You can read more about that here and here oh, and here.

Everyone needs a plan and I’ve outlined a few of my summer wish list books over on my Medium page. 

I’ve been waiting for Daisy Jones & the Six for nearly a year now. It’s almost time until we had back to the 70s…

Even though it turns out Beatriz Williams is a left-wing liberal, I cannot make myself love her books any less. This one features action, adventure and espionage surrounding Wallis Simpson and Edward in Nassau after the abdication.

And yes, there’s something new coming from Fiona Davis, too! It’s The Chelsea Girls.

This book was originally slated to come out last year. Not sure what’s taking Simon Sinek so long. Maybe his game is too infinite.

Head over to my Medium page to read the full post. 

What’s on your reading list this summer?

Fun Friday – CPAC Recap

If you’ve been following along, you know that recently Walter and I recently attended the Conservative Political Action Committee or CPAC.

 

As always, it was a great event and we really enjoyed making new connections, even on the plane ride there.

 

And catching up with old friends too.

 

This is Marjorie Dannenfesler, president of the Susan B. Anthony List , a longtime client of CampaignHQ. It was great catching up with Marjorie and it’s such a privilege to be a part of their team.

 

Marjorie was a featured speaker at CPAC this year, and she did a tremendous job talking about abortion, human dignity and what makes America great. You can check it out below.

 

Needless to say, we’re already looking forward to attending next year’s event.

 

Have a great weekend,

Nicole

What I’m Into

Here are a few articles and things I’m into these days.

I have been tracking the newest GOP congressman from Texas for awhile now. A former NAVY Seal, touts his conservative approach and snappy Twitter responses – what’s not to love?

 

Take Heed. You are not as logical as you think you are. These are just the first 24 reasons why …

 

I know what I’ll be doing on March 18th….

What things should be on my radar?

Way Back Wednesday

Normally I save the light and fun posts for Friday but I thought I’d do a little reminiscing today. It’s fun to look back at where I’ve been – the campaigns I’ve been a part of, the people I’ve met and the candidates I’ve worked for.

With now Gov. Kim Reynolds and Ambassador to China Terry Branstad

These experiences have certainly shaped my outlook and the direction CampaignHQ has taken over the years.

With Ganske for Senate campaign alumn William Armistead

I’m proud of the work we’ve done and the conservatives we’ve worked so hard for. Looking back is fun, but looking forward to new and exciting adventures is thrilling.

With U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate Ted Cruz

Unbreak Your Brain

Time to “Unbreak your Brain,” my friends.

I read this interesting article from the New York Times and had to share. Here’s a snippet:

Mostly, I became aware of how profoundly uncomfortable I am with stillness. For years, I’ve used my phone every time I’ve had a spare moment in an elevator or a boring meeting. I listen to podcasts and write emails on the subway. I watch YouTube videos while folding laundry. I even use an app to pretend to meditate.

If I was going to repair my brain, I needed to practice doing nothing. So during my morning walk to the office, I looked up at the buildings around me, spotting architectural details I’d never noticed before. On the subway, I kept my phone in my pocket and people-watched — noticing the nattily dressed man in the yellow hat, the teens eating hot Takis and laughing, the kid with Velcro shoes. When a friend ran late for our lunch, I sat still and stared out the window instead of checking Twitter.

You can read the full article here

Maybe it’s not cool in the land of politics or business to say it, but it’s time for some digital minimalism. 

Another take from Bill Maher:

 

I’m curious your thoughts on all of this.

CPAC or Bust

Another year, another CPAC is upon us. If you live under a rock, CPAC or the Conservative Political Action Conference, is an event held every year that brings together conservatives from across the country. Here’s more from their site:

About the Conservative Political Action Conference

ACU founded and hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the birthplace of modern conservatism.  CPAC combines ideas with action to leverage the strength of thousands of grass-roots activists to break through the resistance of Washington’s powerful elites.

The four-day conference begins with Activism Boot Camp, an unparalleled initiative that brings together the finest conservative organizations involved in activism training and campaign management.  The remaining three days of the conference unite the political leaders of the conservative movement with the people who make up the movement.  As President Ronald Reagan said in 1985, “CPAC is the opportunity to dance with the one who brung ya.”

The powerful combination of knowledge and activism is critical for the advancement of conservatism.  Under its new leadership team, ACU has launched CPAC 365, a nationwide effort to do the work of CPAC year round.  This initiative will ensure the growth and continued success of the grassroots conservative movement by keeping it educated, equipped and motivated for principled and effective action.

CampaignHQ will be represented at CPAC by myself and Walter Haynie, campaign director at CampaignHQ.

Nicole Schlinger and Walter Haynie will the attending CPAC this week

We will be prominently featured in the lobby bar, where we’re looking forward to talking about how we can give your phone or text campaign a big boost for 2019.

You can follow what’s happening at CPAC through their Twitter account, but I hope you’ll also follow our CPAC journey on Twitter or Facebook. We’ll be brining you live coverage of the tremendous speaker lineup…

Nicole Schlinger and Walter will be checking out all the incredible speakers at CPAC

and what everyone really wants to know, what were they wearing?

Nicole Schlinger is looking forward to the outfits at CPAC this year

I’ll be sure to post more updates after my wig and U.S.A. hat are back from the dry cleaners.

See you soon,

Nicole
