2011 look back
November 29, 2011This year has been very busy and productive for the College Democrats. Its been so busy we have yet to update this blog since January, but no worries here is a quick look back at what we have achieved!
- We began 2011 with a visit from Mayor Jim Suttle, where he spoke about the efforts of the reckless recall going on and his achievements thus far as Mayor. Thankfully he eventually beat the recall and he will continue to serve Omaha.
- We hosted a Lobby Day Training as a group for Planned Parenthood. We then went to the capitol to partake in lobbying for PP.
- Like the past years, we continued our annual Tribute to the Fallen event, and put up 6,000+ flags honoring the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both Honorable Chuck Hagel and Mayor Jim Suttle gave remarks.
- We went to Lincoln to canvass for their city elections
- At the beginning of the fall semester we took part in the club fair featuring our lovely Obama cutout!
- We held the political pups event where students got to play with puppies while raising money for the Golden Retriever Rescue Network
- In contrast to the anti-abortion rally on Dodge, we held our own pro-choice rally.
- We also held a Rally for Victims of Domestic Abuse in the student center
