dick cheney at FSU commencement laura bush and dick cheney to speak at graduation commencement ceremonies, and seniors want to protest.
Im graduating this semester and found out that VP of US Dick Cheney is speaking at the commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 1, 2004. I'm pretty outraged that he is pulling this political stunt (Laura Bush will be speaking at Miami-Dade College this election year) and many other students at FSU are upset as well.

Republicans realize that President Bush must win Louisiana to be victorious in the fall. President Bush won the state handily in 2000, but is not taking any chances for 2004. The President has visited the state several times in the past few months and will come back next month to speak at LSU graduation ceremonies.

Here's the story.
Bush, Cheney and their wives fan out to battleground states for commencements
By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and their wives have chosen mostly re-election battleground states for commencement speeches this spring while maintaining the tradition of addressing military schools.
Bush chose the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colo., for his annual service-academy commencement, on June 2. The motto of this year's graduating class: ''Parati ad Bellum'' ''ready for war.''
The academies have agreed that only one will invite the president each year. Bush was expected to speak at the academy last year, according to the informal rotation, but decided to speak at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy's commencement.
The Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., will get Cheney for a graduation speech on May 19.
Bush gives his first commencement address May 14 at Concordia University in Mequon, Wis., one of the most hotly contested states in the election. Bush was in Wisconsin on Tuesday.
May 21, he gives a graduation speech at Louisiana State University.
The vice president will speak at Florida State University on May 1.
Supplementing the effort in Florida, where the 2000 election was decided, first lady Laura Bush gives a commencement speech May 1 at Miami-Dade College. Ballots in Miami-Dade County were at the heart of the state's re-count dispute.
The vice president's wife, Lynne Cheney, will give the graduation speech at Cedarville College in Cedarville, Ohio, on May 1. Ohio is as coveted this year as Florida was in 2000.
Bush, who returned from his Crawford, Texas, ranch this week following a long weekend, returns there for a week starting Monday night.
En route, he appears for the last time at a fund raiser for his re-election campaign, this time in Charlotte, N.C. It's a makeup date for a fund raiser he canceled in February. The White House also scheduled a job-training event while Bush was in Charlotte.
Also Monday, Bush throws out the first pitch when the St. Louis Cardinals open the season at Busch Stadium against the Milwaukee Brewers.
On Tuesday, Bush attends a job-training event in El Dorado, Ark. another tightly contested electoral state.
He returns to Washington on April 12 after meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the ranch.

Bush Arizona Daily Wildcat
If President Bush accepts UA President Peter Likins' invitation to speak at this spring's commencement, then it should not overshadow the accomplishments of graduating students and evolve into a political event.

Bush will speak at academyPresident Bush will speak at the Air Force Academy’s June 2 graduation, the White House confirmed Thursday.
Bush also will speak at commencement at Concordia University in Mequon, Wis. Wisconsin is one of the most hotly contested states in the presidential election, according to the polls. On May 21, he gives the graduation speech at Louisiana State University; there is a race for an open Senate seat in that state, as well.
Laura Bush will speak May 1, also in Florida at Miami Dade College. That same day, Lynne Cheney will speak at Cedarville College in Ohio.
