I dont understand who and why that other girl spoke at the event. She wants me to help support her to study in Africa as a Music major.
She can pay for that her self!!!! A concept not grasped by some of the young americans now a days.

Well regardless, there’s been coverage of the protesters on the site since yesterday, as a video titled “Students react to Granholm” or whatever.

It was added later.

“Before the event, several students, mostly from CMU’s Campus Conservatives, protested her visit, which they called a “partisan rally,” outside both entrances of Charles V. Park Library.
Warren freshman Ben Lazarus, founder of nobrokenpromise.com, said Granholm’s appearance at CMU was an act and staged to make it seem that students are united in a tax increase.”

Unless these two graphs were added later, I think some of you moron commentors need to read the whole story first.

There are imperfections in the Promise – it should be for those who have “need.” However, that doesn’t negate the fact that many who are truly in “need” of that money could be losing money PROMISED to them.

Does Miss Canada really care about the Michigan Promise Scholarships or is she in the process of creating a potent campaign issue for the up coming 2010 gubernatorial race?

No coverage of the 15 students who protested Granholm yesterday?

Student Government Association President and Mount Pleasant senior Jason Nichol thought Granholm’s message was outstanding. As a former Promise recipient, he lost $2,000.

Nichol gets paid as SGA president, he has an academic full ride from CMU and gets a discount because his dad works at CMU. He didn’t need the $2,000 from the Promise.
