Drake Democrats on the News Again

Our protest at Jim Nussle's headquarters was on KCCI tonight, putting us on the evening news twice in the last three days. They gave a perfect description of it, noting that Jim Nussle had made it much harder for us to attend college because of his cuts to higher education. The protest itself was well-attended and lots of fun. When we delivered petitions signed by about 500 students from Drake and Morningside College in Sioux City, their staffers seemed kinda dumbfounded. Little do they know the growing effect we're having. Especially on Drake's campus now, we hear everyday someone talking about our latest protest against Nussle. The College Republicans' effort to get signatures for Nussle to be put on the ballot was made a lot harder by all our work - even people who didn't know Nussle were very hesitant and refused to sign their petitions considering all the bad press they've heard about him from us.
