SIGN THE PETITION

UCSB Associated Students has allocated $12,933 of our student funds to bring former George Bush adviser Karl Rove to campus on Thursday, February 25th. As “Bush’s Brain”, Karl Rove was behind the disastrous policies of President George W. Bush. From fabricating evidence of WMDs in Iraq to exploiting race in politics to fighting to strip LGBT people of marriage equality, it is time that Rove answers for these policies. But instead, the UCSB College Republicans will be filtering your pre-submitted questions for Rove. The students are footing the bill for this event at a university that values freedom of speech and we refuse to be denied our right to ask questions. We demand that the College Republicans allow UCSB students to ask Karl Rove uncensored questions from a microphone at Thursday’s event. Please join us in signing the petition below:

I demand that the College Republicans respect free speech and allow UCSB students to ask Karl Rove uncensored questions from a microphone.

Please join the UCSB Campus Democrats by signing this petition to preserve free speech on our campus.

Democratically Yours,

UCSB Campus Democrats
