I need everyone's help as soon as possible. Before
I tell you what I need for people to do I will explain the situation.
My name is Ben Newton and I am a student senator
at Ole Miss. I recently co-sponsored an environmental bill along
with another student senator named Robyn Hagan. The bill created
a position within the Associated Student Body called Director of Environmental
Policy and Awareness and it also created a committee to assist this person.
The bill had the full support of our County Recycling Coordinator.
The bill passed the student senate unanimously
but was vetoed by our student body president. Unfortunately, our
student body president did not see the need for successful recycling and
environmental programs to be implemented on our campus.
This is quite ashame but I am not giving
up. I am currently trying to over-ride the veto. However,
this is a very hard thing to do. I need 2/3 vote of our entire senate
in order to reverse the student body president's decision.
If this decision is not reversed
then there will be no environmental awareness or recycling programs on
this campus. Therefore, I really need everyone's help. I need
your help as soon as possible because our next senate meeting is
this coming Tuesday (April 10th).
Here is what I want for everyone to do.
----- I am going to enclose the e-mail address of every student senator
at Ole Miss. Please e-mail as many of them as you can between now
and Tuesday. Please simply ask them to over-ride the veto and support
the environmental legislation. You can include information about
why recycling and environmental awareness is important----even to college
students.
Well, thanks for the help. I really
appreciate any e-mails that people send. I know that it would be
hard to e-mail everyone --- so however many you can send is fine.
Thanks again and here are the names and e-mails:
