UA Taking Requests for Memorial T-Shirts (Together We Thrive Massacre Souvenirs)

Over 26,000 people attended last night's memorial service for the six people tragically killed Saturday, and the University of Arizona has received a flood of requests for T-shirts commemorating this service.

At this time, they are unable to provide information on where to get a shirt commemorating "Together We Thrive: Tucson and America," but they will provide that information soon.

The UA Office of Student Affairs is handling requests for T-shirts - those interested can call them and leave contact information. The office will send out information on how to obtain a shirt at a later date.

Call the UA Office of Student Affairs at: 520-621-3772

Democrats, ... Together We Cont h rive !

There, much more accurate... photoshop op anyone ?

[Clint Williams]

Whew! For a minute I thought this was United Airlines, not UAZz!

[Clint Williams]

Given the U of A President's adoring introduction of Obama, I seriously doubt that it took much coordinating to get things done.
More like, “How can I serve you Mr President. Just say the word and it shall be done”.

Answer: "Drop'em and bend over, BOY!"

UAZ is mine!

Some FReepers are claiming that the Obama 2012 slogan is going to be "Together We Thrive", but the University of Arizona is taking credit for the t-shirts at the pep rally memorial service. Who knows? Here's the evidence from last night:

The university said it did the planning with minimal input from the White House. The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 10,000 T-shirts bearing the words "Together We Thrive." The shirts were handed out for free. T-shirts. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars.

So a Memorial Service is now just an event complete with free t-shirts and pricey souvenirs.How is that any different than going to a basketball game?

Are they all Thriving against Schizophrenic Gunmen? I’m confused by this catchy phrase and the supposed reasoning behind it...

So when someone asks how your day is going you can say...

“I’m thriving, I haven’t bumped into any Schizos”

Thrive - It’s Just a Bunch of Jive’

[smokingfrog]

Everything is scripted with these people. You can count on it.

I remember that the Clinton had some Hollywood director as his "advance man."

See Mort Engelberg

The school paid for the event, but "The money will not come [from] student tuition, fees or tax dollars."

The school gets a percentage of it's funds from the state general fund.

Where do they get their money?

Must be from the tax payers.

UA students went to DC (hundreds of them) to protest the gov cutting funds to universities.

So Obama's little trust fund babies did this all themselves with "minimal input from the White House."

In other words, they did it with input from the White House.

Use presidential seal on podium, scream and yell when the One comes in, make some campaign t-shirts....hmmmm let's see...and oh yea, get Who's-yer-daddy a tee time.

I wonder what percentage of the the shirt money will be sent to Obama.

[Freddd]

WHAT??!! Buy something from the state Obama is boycotting....wow.

[Freddd]

Oh and suing...

[Baynative]

I am one of those who was [maybe] misguided into repeating the campaign slogan idea. I’ll wait to see if the University backs up their creation of this idea, or can explain what the slogan ‘Together we Thrive’ is supposed to mean.

"Together We Thrive" slogan used by OFA in 2008...

[Lucky2]

This school is the perfect example of why we’re being very careful where our daughter goes to college. Pure socialism!

[Kickass Conservative]

What happened, did they run out of Che Guevera T Shirts?

[Kickass Conservative]

Hillsdale, it's your only choice.

[Kickass Conservative]

The T Shirts probably came from Mexico. They only did the LOGO printing in AZ.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

“Some psycho tried to kill my Congresswoman, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.”

Has this ever even happened before?

PING!

[Lucky2]

Actually thinking Biola in Los Angeles but yes, Hillsdale is on the list as well. Both expensive but at least she’ll have learned something other than socialist propaganda!
