College Republicans, Democrats team together
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an election going on in our great nation. And with every election (or even in our daily lives) we should all take notice and become active participants in our community, government and the world at large.
It is because of the importance of awareness and civic engagement that the College Republicans and the College Democrats are joining ASUM’s War on Apathy Campaign.
The War on Apathy is a campaign being launched by ASUM’s Student Political Action Committee, and its focus is to make students aware of some very important issues that will be affecting us all.
Whether the issue be public safety, public health, individual liberties, international affairs or the welfare of the economy, this campaign’s purpose is to make information available to you so that you can decide what you think is best for yourself, your community and your country.
To get this very important campaign started the College Democrats and the College Republicans will be participating in a debate focused on national issues ranging from healthcare to illegal immigration.
This debate will be Thursday, March 6 in the UC Commons at noon. Both of our groups are extremely excited to be having this discussion, and even more excited to be working with ASUM to help get everyone involved in our community.
We hope that you will join us for our debate and join ASUM as we all work together to fight apathy on our campus.
– Allie Harrison
President, College Republicans

President, College Democrats
