But what are they facing after graduation? Rising college tuition costs although substantial are quickly becoming the least of graduating seniors concerns. In addition to your own educational indebtedness, Congress has plans for all your futures – failed stimulus packages, lowered purchasing power, dwindling job opportunities and an exponentially escalating national debt that will mortgage the student’s American dream. At a time in our history when dark clouds are casting shadows on our freedom, we must continually take action to avert the damage of the pending storm. One way is to hunker down and fight the onslaught from the trenches. Attending Tea Parties, Town Hall meetings and writing our Congressmen are proven methods on how to give voice to our frustrations. Giving voice to our frustrations alone may not deter the Congress from taking inappropriate actions against the best interest of their current and future constituents. Congressmen who don’t heed the warnings about their irresponsible spending and demonstrate the flagrant disregard for the Constitution should join the unemployment lines. Don’t get mad. Get even. Our vote is the most precious tool in our arsenal to thwart government abuse and trampling of our freedoms. The Taboo Party supports turnover at all levels of government and advocates supporting all Challengers to Incumbents. Taboo is an acronym for Throw All Bums Out of Office. The Bums are Career Politicians. Career Politicians comprise three categories: 1. Freeloaders (those in office more than 36 years), 2. Wannabees (aspiring Freeloaders with 20+ years in office), and 3. Anti-Termers (those who refuse to vote for Term Limits). The Founding Fathers never intended that public service would become a life's pursuit. They considered public service a calling and civic duty and returned to private life after completing their short term in office.

Students and Alumni who oppose Western administrators’ salary increases by signing the e-petition to present to the Board of Regents on Oct. 30. $34,000 and $19,000 is too much of a pay raise for these directors when our faculty did not get a raise this year. Students- you pay for this, your parents contribute, and Alumni you donate money to this excessive pay increase. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=176416187368&v=info RAISE YOUR VOICE!!
