Here's a link to a story about volunteers at the Vice Presidential debate last year.
Record: Student volunteers gain experience in logistics, media relations
I'll post the applicable paragraph:
"Most of the volunteers were assigned to jobs that kicked into high gear the week before the debate. Students assisted with a variety of aspects, including working with the national news media, helping in the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) office and the press office, leading tours of the debate facility and supporting engineering and staging aspects. Volunteers also provided hospitality for a variety of special events around campus and assisted with different efforts, including tickets, credentialing, security and parking. A small number of volunteers even worked in the debate hall on the night of the event as ushers and credential checkers. "
And that's at the VP Debates, where one would think they'd have a large budget for hiring security.
That just strikes me as damn risky, but then again, I suppose with the Secret Service in attendance, as well as local law enforcement, the risk is minimized.
I won't disagree that much of the bank bailouts, given out orginally by the Bush administration was in fact a clear waste of the taxpayer's money.
I'm still up in the air about the auto bailouts.
Holy Crap! It is possible for people with different political views to find common ground! Now we just need to decide which one of us is right and which one agrees!![]()
LOL. I'm also in favor of the right to bear arms. And I think the time to end affirmative action is rapidly approaching, if not already upon us.
