...have already begun to come together. Students who once considered themselves apolitical have in-volved themselves in the political fray. Several students from the University of Massachusetts organized a student aid rally at Government Center in November, and we College Democrats were there to give our support...
...American people don't think it's the President's business to tell them what ought to happen in the congressional elections."
