On October 16th I went to the voter rally which was going on at the same time as the Tommie Smith and John Carlos rally. At first I thought the people speaking were for the voter rally but that was a mistake.

The Democratic and Republican tables were set up across from Clark Hall. I approached the Republican table first just to see what information they would tell me (I’m far from being a Republican). They gave me was a McCain/Palin sticker and asked if I was registered to vote. At another table I picked up a few papers about what McCain wants to do about climate change, fighting crime, Iraq, education, etc.

After, I went to the Democratic table where I asked if I could have an Obama sticker. They told me I could only get one if I took a test and I quickly backed down. They told me it was easy so Nichole and I decided that we would team up. They asked me who’s going to be the next president and I answered enthusiastically that it’s for sure going to be Obama. Then they asked Nichole if I was right and she answered yes. So we both passed the Democratic test and got out stickers.
