Reflections from WSU

I spent four days at Washington State University last week hanging out and talking with my fellow students, to learn more about what issues are  most important to them. I met with a couple Greek houses, and student groups and told them what the Student Freedom Project had to offer, and how only they could change the direction our nation is headed. From talking with the lovely ladies at Delta Delta Delta, i hear concerns about some of the new taxes that are heading their way such as an increase in the cost of tanning and an increase in tuition and student fees. Money and the increases in cost of living, seem to be the most common issues that face college students today.

Overall the statistic and information about what is happening in our state and in our national, came as a great surprise to many. Not many if any of the students i talked with frequently watch the news or read the paper. Many of them are not even registered to vote. The information i was giving them seem to be the first time they were exposed to that information. This all gave me a lot to think about. How will i get the students the information they need to be informed about their nation. Also how do i get the student to register to vote, and prove to them that their voice matters? 

With November just around the corner, and so much riding on this election, i wonder if i will have time to get the college community on board. Will i have success in getting my generation in the fight before its too late....

Letters From the Frontline

This weekend the Student Freedom Project made its maiden voyage into the college community.  With 90 new members and rising, the Student Freedom Project is getting down and dirty with college students and bringing the next generation into the political arena. With tuition on the rise and unemployment climbing, it’s not hard to get college students thinking about their future. Our table at the ‘All Campus Picnic’ at Washington State University was referred  to by some students as the best table at the event. The water pong and Student Freedom Project’s Jones Sodas kept us constantly bombarded by clamoring freshmen.

The Lentil Festival put the Student Freedom Project front and center with the community of Pullman. The exposure gave us the opportunity to talk with community members and learn more about communities and their concerns regarding the state of our economy and how it will effect our college student once they venture off into the real world. The community validated our efforts, in getting the college students involved in politics. There is much traveling ahead of us, and more people and groups to meet.  All that can be said, is waves are being made with Washington college students and Washington State University and is a preview of what’s to come.
