UCSD 4 Huckabee!

So Super Tuesday Approaches and everything seems to be going fairly well. Pray for the South. I was in the news for helping for Huckabee. However the reporter combined my quotes and misquoted me in the quote. He also screwed up my major which is Ecology, Behavior, & Evolution, but the point that UCSD Likes MIKE was made nevertheless, so I'm happy. I'm also ecstatic because my grandfather got a magnetic bumper sticker I made for him and my grandma signed by Governor Huckabee.

"On UC San Diego's most congested pedestrian walkway on Thursday afternoon, Obama supporters significantly outnumbered those of other campaigns.

Six or seven volunteers for Obama competed for the attention of passers-by against a sole supporter of Mike Huckabee and two Hillary Clinton volunteers.

...

The lone Huckabee volunteer on campus said the former Arkansas governor is the most attractive Republican candidate for young voters, something he has seen in campaigning.

"I think the main thing is (Huckabee's stance on) the Fair Tax," said Alec Weisman, a UCSD freshman studying ecology. "Most of us are sick of being taxed over and over. Just getting taxed on your income and then getting hit with the corporate tax. And with him, it's more than talk; he's had action as a governor."

"From CALPIRG’s voter registration clipboard crew to a one-manned table with a loud boombox and some “Mike Huckabee for President” pamphlets, on-campus, student-run political groups are determined to prod students to take a stance on today’s pressing issues.

With the Feb. 5 primary election approaching, politically active students likeRevelle College freshman Alec Weisman, an on-campus representative for the Presidential Campaign for Governor Mike Huckabee, are eager to influence the university’s young voters.

“I want to get involved on campus and do whatever I can,” Weisman said. “I’m here to show people that [Huckabee] has a presence [in San Diego]. [Huckabee] is pushing the fact that college is too expensive. In the lower education system he wants more teacher equality and more art and music in schools to help [students] become more well-rounded.”"
