In preparation for the national elections in November, the Young Republicans and Young Democrats have been active on campus promoting candidates and encouraging students to become educated and engaged in the political process. The groups are co-sponsoring several events, including watching the presidential debates on large-screen television, showing the controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11 followed by a discussion led by political science professors, participating in a discussion led by a religion professor titled, “Is God a Republican or a Democrat,” and encouraging students to vote, either by absentee ballot or by taking the shuttle service to the polls in St. Peter.
