Also.. ATTENTION CANDIDATES (or those who know them)… UNCG PRIDE! is considering holding a candidate’s night/election information night at our November 2nd meeting. We’d like to invite as many candidates as possible to the meeting in order for them to get out their messages. This is a good chance for candidates to not only reach out to young voters (who need all the encouragement they can get to actually get off their lazy asses and vote) but is also a good chance for young voters to learn more about the election from those actually, heavily involved in it (as opposed to people like me… who just happen to stick our noses in it from time to time). Contact me if you are a candidate or if you work for a candidate or if you know a candidate who might be interested in coming to the meeting. Our meetings draw anywhere from 30 to 50 and sometimes 60 or more students.
