BREAKING: DCCC found a secret copy of the GOP Retreat schedule in Hershey! [View all]

FOUND! Draft of 2015 GOP House Retreat Agenda

Lookie what we found! The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has stumbled across an unofficial version of House Republicans’ retreat agenda that began last night.

AGENDA:

Thursday, January 15th

9:00AM-10:-00AM: “How to Build Bridges and Control your Caucus” by Speaker Ted Cruz

10:00AM-11:00AM: “Winning Elections in your Home State” by House Majority Leader McCarthy

11:00AM- 12:00PM: “Winning the Women Vote” by Rep. Trent Franks

12:00PM-1:00PM: Lunch Discussion with Special Guest Michael Grimm, “Ethics in Politics and the Importance of Anger Management

1:00PM – 2:00PM: “Healthcare Policy Speak 101” by Rep. Renee Elmers

3:00PM-4:00PM “Diplomacy and Foreign Relations” by Rep. Louie Gohmert

4:00PM-5:00PM “Gender Equality in the Workplace” by Rep. Blake Farenthold

Friday, January 16th

9:00AM – 11:00 AM: Minority Outreach Breakout Session featuring Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Reps. Randy Weber, Peter King, and Bob Goodlatte

11:00AM – 11:30AM: “Big Bank Giveaways” by Rep. Jeb Hensarling

11:30PM – 12:00PM: “Deportation for Dummies” by Rep. Steve King

“House Republicans enter their retreat marred by internal dysfunction and plagued by scandal,” said Tyrone Gayle of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “From bending over backwards to appease the extremists in their party to defending Steve Scalise’s troubling affiliations with White Supremacists and anti-Semites to more Wall Street giveaways, it’s clear that no matter where House Republicans go for their retreat, they cannot escape their flawed priorities and agenda.”
