LOS ANGELES, CA -- "Don't be a Girlie Man: Vote Republican" will soon be emblazoned on the chests and pinned to the backpacks of thousands of students across the state.

Today, the California College Republicans announced a new line of 'girlie man' merchandise, which is scheduled to debut on campuses in mid-August. The initial line of merchandise will include t-shirts and buttons, but plans are already in the works for sweatshirts, banners and bottle openers.

Shoppers will have 2 version to choose from: one that reads "Don't be a Girlie Man: Vote Republican" and another that reads "Don't be a Girlie Man: Join the College Republicans".

Michael Davidson, Chairman of the California College Republicans, believes that the 'girlie man' merchandise will appeal to students and sell fast:

"The Governor tells it like it is – he's a straight talker – and that appeals to young people. More than anything else, we're looking for someone who's going to shoot us straight, even if it's a little controversial or politically incorrect. On college campuses, this stuff will sell faster than cheap pizza."

The t-shirts will be sold for $15 and the buttons will go for $2.50. Discounts will be available for bulk purchases and to fellow College Republican organizations.
