Could someone call the Rush show and see if you could get him to see the irony in this photo. That during the same week the Iraqis welcomed our troops to help protect their freedom- we have Americans college students flipping one of our troops off and chasing them away.. and it is captured by the Camera for all to see. Here is the number 800-282-2882

I have a terrible cold and can hardly speak.

"Financial Aid

"SCCC offers financial aid availablle through the federal government and through local affiliations. You can qualify for state and federal grants and loans. Advice and help is available from the Financial Aid Office at Seattle Central Community College, phone (206) 587-3844. Its staff will guide you through the applications and alert you to key deadlines."

Federal money should be pulled immediately!

"Seattle Central Community College is known nationally for its innovative educational and student service programs. Its 10,000 students (including approximately 600 international students) compose the state's most diverse community college group in age, ethnicity, and cultural backgrounds (Kumbayah!). The state's largest English as a Second Language Program (I'll bet) is housed at Seattle Central. Seattle Central offers 37 two-year professional and technical education programs and a job placement rate of 85 percent for graduates."

Yes, another joyous melting-pot of third world hatred, partly funded by you and me. The Left must be deprived of our tax money!

Seattle Central is the most left-wing campus in the state, by far. It's a bunch of brainwashed leftist pigs.

URGENT ACTION BY ANY WASHINGTON STATE FREEPERS NEEDED ASAP!>>>>>

AND- Would you like the number to call someone at Students against the War who organized this stunt? Well here you go!

This is an email which I received regarding the latest in the case of the students who broke the law and ran the Army recruiter off the Seattle Campus. Please ping anyone who you think would be interested. Perhaps someone can freep their press conference????

________________________________________________________ This is the email

hi, this is a follow up email concerning the press release sent out from Students Against War, a Seattle Central Community College student association.

In protest of George Bush's inauguration on January 20th there was a walkout on the Seattle Central campus. During the walkout a group of well over one hundred students gathered around the table of two military recruiters. The recruiters were then escorted off campus by security. Some actions taken by participants have brought about disciplinary threats against Students Against War. An ultimatum was presented by the school administration - "If we do not receive a copy of your apology letter by Thursday, February 3, 2005, your club will cease to be in good standing on campus," said the letter from the Administration.

Students Against War along with members of the outside peace community will be holding a press conference tomarrow at 12:00 noon on the south plaza of SCCC.

if you have any questions please contact Gerald, a SAW representive, at: 1-206-329-2276 ___________________________________________________

Here is some more:

Students Against War will hold a press conference regarding threatened disciplinary action by the Seattle Central Community College administration on Thursday February 3rd at 12 noon on the south plaza of Seattle Central Community College.

In protest of George Bush's inauguration on January 20th, students walked out on the Seattle Central campus. During the walkout a group of well over one hundred students surrounded a table of three military recruiters and chanted anti-war slogans until they were escorted off campus by security. Some actions taken by participants have brought about disciplinary threats against Students Against War. An ultimatum was presented by the school administration - "If we do not receive a copy of your apology letter by Thursday, February 3, 2005, your club will cease to be in good standing on campus," said the letter from the Administration.

SAW's official statement in response to the Seattle Central Administration:

The group Students Against War is not responsible for the actions taken against the military recruiters on the 20th of January. We do not have the authority to speak on behalf of the individuals involved.

Any disciplinary action taken against Students Against War is without precedent or basis. SAW engaged in two permitted actions on that day, which included the rally in the south plaza and the student march to Westlake Plaza. The congregation around the military recruiters was a spontaneous event carried out by people on their own accord. SAW cannot represent these individuals or their actions, and cannot be legally held accountable.

As to the actions themselves, students were expressing their feelings about the intrusion of the military into our schools. Military recruitment on campuses nationwide has been stepped up along with military spending, while funding for education has been repeatedly cut. Military recruiters on our campus prey on the lack of options for low-income students. SAW does not support sending our low-income youth to fight and die in a war that is unjust and unfair.

Students Against War is sorry, but not about the actions of the 20th. SAW is sorry that soldiers in Iraq are dying. SAW is sorry that billions of public tax dollars are being pumped bullet by bullet into foreign soil while increasing numbers of Americans live near or under the poverty line. SAW is supporting the troops by working to bring them home.

These are our sisters and brothers. If Sgt. Due was in Iraq, one among three military recruiters asked to leave, SAW would support his right to life and human decency by bringing him home. When our friends are sent to kill and die because they didn't have the money to pay for college, we say bring them home. Why should American soldiers face death and mutilation for the lies of the Bush administration? We say bring them home. We, as Students Against War, ask you as friends and families of soldiers, to defend those troops by bringing them home NOW.

To contact Students Against War, please call our spokesperson Gerald at 1-206-329-2276

As of today- I don't know of anyone else who has picked up the story. Once again it is the bloggers and Freerepublic covering the story.

I am calling again today to find out what the next step is by the school.

Hopefully they will remove this group from their campus. It is obvious from the SAW statement that they do know who the students were in the photo.

NO taxpayer money should be going to this school or these students. They are not fit to be Americans, much less subsidized by the rest of us. I would die of shame if I saw a photo of my son or daughter hounding military personel.
