"WEAR A FUCKING SUIT AND TIE"
First of all, keep it clean, if you please! That kind of language will only turn people off, they'll no longer be interested in what you have to say.
So you think that people attenting anti-war rallies (and that's not just "kids", that's adults, too) don't take activism serious? Let me tell you, I've been to a number of those protests, beginning with the one against Bush's 2nd Inauguration in 2005, and the people I was with and those we met there took it very serious. Yes, even we, the "college kids," took it serious.
I do acknowledge that the rallies and protests haven't changed much of anything (the war is still going on), but we are dealing with a president who is notorious for ignoring the will of the people.
I'm no longer an activist myself, I've stopped going to rallies (for various reasons), but all I'm saying is that maybe instead of looking at protesters with such contempt, you should try to listen to what they have to say.
And your chance to change things is near, too: Go vote in November and let your own voice be heard.
Early May is an important time of year for the campus advocate. As leaders in the progressive movement graduate one can only hope that future leaders enroll. I have graduated from Kent State University, but I do not leave my hopes on the high school class of 2008, rather I confidently leave my campus liaison position to a second year graduate student.
The new President of Eta Sigma Gamma is a graduate student in Health Promotion. She is a graduate assistant in the Center for Student involvement, this provides her exclusive access to policy makers, university funding, and university scheduling. She not only is qualified, but she is surrounded by experienced progressive leaders.
Eta Sigma Gamma had a historic year at winning numerous university awards for leadership, service, and maintenance of rights and civil liberties. Eta Sigma Gamma also increased their visibility, assets, and reputation through building a campus coalition and seeking partnerships with local, state, and national organizations. These contributing factors coupled with new leadership and a continued partnership with Campus Progress will lead to an even better academic year in 2008-2009.
Please remember that Campus Progress' terms of use do not allow promoting or endorsing any particular political party or candidate for office. Posts or comments that do this will be deleted.
