FSU helping out with Florida's early voting
Both FSU and FAMU, combining all sorts of student groups on campus (including many Greeks) participated last night in Sleeping Out to Vote. Overnight consisted of students and otherwise proving that it will be the 18-25 year olds that will swing the election, to show that young people really do care to vote, and made a line in the morning as soon as the courthouse was opened to be the first ones to vote. There is also a rally towards the capitol being planned next week.
Interestingly enough, John Edwards spoke in Tallahassee last night, and Dick Cheney did last week.
Also FSU students have been registering people to vote for the past year and a half. Apparently even after being bombarded with people with clipboards, a lot of students still waited until the last minute-700 people got registered the very last day.
As far as affiliations go, I think there is a relatively good mix of Republicans and Democrats. Personally I cannot bring myself to put my name on either one.
No firebombings that I can think of, though.
