Freepers from VA, MD, D.C., NC, etc., take note. Do you have a McCain t-shirt you can wear to this event?

I don't have a shirt or a sign, but after seeing the emails at work and at home today about this event, I think that there will be a BIG protest near the campus. I am not sure if the protest is going to go near the Campus on William Street or on Route 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway). Here is the information from the schools website.

The university's bookstore is selling 1,000 Obama / Biden t-shirts at their bookstore starting today (Friday). T-shirts have the university's logo on the front and has the words " Obama was there, Biden was there, I was there, UMW 08 " on the back. Cost: $9.99. Profits from the t-shirts go to the university's bookstore. The idea for the campaign slogan t-shirt came from the university's bookstore manager, Kathy Underwood, as quoted in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star newspaper.

The Virginia blogosphere took care of this today. The UMW bookstore is run by the University and, as such, is a state entity prohibited from political activity.

Attorney General (and next Virginia Governor) Bob McDonnell's office issued a cease and desist order.

Can You Say Double Standard?
