Support the Troops Banner
Hey guys and gals and other gender identities,
Tomorrow (Wednesday) there will be a signing of a "Support the Troops" banner over at the West Bank Plaza at 2:00. I encourage you all to sign the banner if you do support the troops.
There are a couple of things to be aware of if you plan on doing this. The event is cosponsored by the U-DFL and the Campus Conservative Cultural Program (CCCP), formerly the Campus Republicans. This signing of the banner is in no way associated with either the Walk-out protest planned for tomorrow, nor the counter-protest put on by the conservative group Protest-Warrior. However, you will be signing your name along side Republicans. This banner is going to be sent to the troops in Iraq. It is not a "Support the Troops, Bring them Home" banner, nor is it a "Support the Troops, Support the War" banner. It is meant simply to show bipartisan support for the troops.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me as soon as possible. 612.916.5965.
I have lost the link for the article for next week, but it is about Samuel Alito, aka "Scalito." Read up as much as you can for next week if you plan on sticking around for the discussion or not!
I hope all is well.
Keep fighting the good fight,
Max

All the events going on tomorrow have kind of puzzled me, Max. For one thing, I think it's pretty obvious that I and most other people in this country support the troops, and I for one don't need to sign my name to prove it. If I didn't support Americans, I wouldn't be living here.
Secondly, given that a majority of Americans, and certainly an ever large percentage of people locally now recognize how much this war has been bungled, shouldn't you be doing a little more about it than signing a banner tomorrow? Given the guts Harry Reid showed today, I don't think it would be unfair to characterize your lack of support for the antiwar actions tomorrow as chickening out bigtime. Or is it just that you're pissed at Socialist Alternative... I should hope most groups here are above that sort of thing.
And finally - could they not foresee the huge-ass irony of renaming themselves the CCCP, or was that perversely intended in some way... Seriously - holy flying spaghetti monsters...
