To the editor:
Auburn University is privileged to be the home of very active political organizations on its campus: the College Republicans, the College Democrats, the College Libertarians and the Young Americans for Liberty.
With such a strong political presence on campus, there should be a buzz of activism in all directions.
Campus political organizations claim they exist to promote their party's ideals on campus and in the community.
Is that best accomplished by functioning as Political Action Committee, writing checks, lobbying over fancy meals and endorsing candidates?
Are we here to boost our resumes or are we here to create real change?
The 2012 elections will be important to all parties and people across the board.
So let's get out the vote.
And let's do it with honesty and truthfulness, with which you will win the respect and confidence of your fellow Americans.
