Hi everyone, these are busy times so this will be a bit short this week. Don’t forget to vote, to turn out the vote, and to make sure that no one is prevented from voting! Make sure to bring an I.D. with you to the polls; you can find out which kinds of IDs are accepted at http://www.sos.mo.gov/election… .
This week’s events:
Monday, Nov. 3. The WashU Peace Coalition puts up a tombstone display every year raising awareness of the soldiers and civilians who have been killed in the Iraq War. Today is the day for that event, and it takes a lot of work to put the display up. If anyone is interested in helping set up from 7 to 9 AM, please check out http://www.facebook.com/event…. . Monday is also the day that Karl Rove is getting $35,000 to speak at WashU. If you’re interested in protesting outside the event, please send an email to aaronboswahl@gmail.com .
Tuesday, Nov. 4. Vote Vote Vote Vote Vote and then GOTV GOTV GOTV or Poll Monitor. Once the polls are done, you should go to the official Obama Victory Party which you can find at http://www.facebook.com/event…. . (note to neocons, “vote vote vote” is an expression of enthusiasm for voting, not a call for voting multiple times, so please do not sue me for “voter fraud.”)
