Re: [CUGreens] Possible Nader Rally

[Dan <danielstephen@earthlink.net>]

I agree with Cathy.  A straightforward Nader/LaDuke rally with a few
speakers/cheerleaders is the appropriate thing to do and all we have time
for.  The purpose of the rally is to make a splash on campus and get people
fired up for Ralph and Winona- political discussion should take place but
let's not get bogged down in it during the rally.
