Activists of a loosely organized campaign called "Operation Yellow Elephant" had threatened to protest the Young Republican National Convention at Mandalay Bay this week.
They argue that Young Republicans who support the war in Iraq should enlist in the military, especially given recent lags in recruiting.
Their motto: Sign up or shut up.
Activist Karl Olson, a New York resident, said he recently tried to sign up for the Army but was turned away because he's 44 years old. Younger Republicans, however, could help fight their cause, he said.
