2. Proactive and outspoken and smart!!
In their letter to Wetherell, the FSU students asked him to "publicly ask the vice president to disavow such attacks before Saturday" because, "as we have seen, private assurances from the vice president's office are not a reliable guarantee."

3. Good for them.
They may need to orchestrate a walk-out or loud coughing disruption of their own if he goes off on Kerry. Maybe they could drown him out.

6. Yes! Dear Students, there is safety in high numbers
hang together and they can't hang you. Has to be a LARGE number of participants involved if they do not like their day to be used by the head Chicken Hawk to rant about his agenda.

4. The tide is turning here.
I was just starting to post that. Last year they would never have said that at UF or FSU.
