Good morning.
It’s a perfect November day ahead: sunny with a high of thirty-six.
Whitewater will see demonstration and counter-demonstration this afternoon.
On Thurs. Nov. 17 to 18th, the American Dream movement, along with three University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student groups, including Forward Whitewater, the Peace Group, and the College Dems, will be sponsoring an Occupy Whitewater event the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s South Library Mall, just off Main Street, (between Hyer Hall, the Anderson Library, and the University Center) (800 W. Main Street, Whitewater). We are the 99%, and we will recall Walker and other corporate-owned politicians who have forgotten to do the will of the people.
• We’ll have a booth to sign petitions to Recall Walker.
• There will be a teach-in starting at 3 p.m.
• The rally will begin at 5:15 p.m., with Representative Andy Jorgensen, Representative Peter Barca, and Senator Erpenbach stopping by.
• At 6:30pm we will march as a group (or you can drive) to UW-Whitewater’s Hyland Hall (Room 1000, Timmerman Auditorium), where Erpenbach will be speaking at 7 p.m.
• If you wish to stay overnight, tents can be set up after 2 p.m. We’re hopeful that a significant group will stay overnight in solidarity with the international Occupy Movement. Even if you don’t stay overnight, please come and join the rally.
“For too long conservatives have ignored college campuses and allowed one point of view to dominate. No longer on our campus. In a peaceful, respectful, clear and concise way we will show our solidarity with Governor Walker and conservative reforms,” read a posting on the group’s Facebook page.
The counter rally is planned to run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the South Library Mall, just off Main Street, in front of the Anderson Library.
On this day in 1973, Pres. Nixon offered assurances to the American people:
President Nixon told an Associated Press managing editors meeting in Orlando, Fla., that “people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook.”
Very few non-crooks feel a need to offer the denial.
Here’s today’s Google a Day puzzle:
You invite a chromotherapist over for dinner, but while fixing the meal you cut your hand. Would your guest treat you with hex triplet #0000FF or hex triplet #FF0000?
