As I drove around from work to school, to home this weekend; I took a higher consideration for the bumper stickers I would see throughout my routes. Most of the bumper stickers that I noticed had something to do with politics. One in particular that I remember was “NOBAMA” spelled out and below said, “is a silly way to misspell Obama”. Being an outsider looking at this sticker, I am able to assume this person is most likely a liberal and represents some type of support for Barack Obama. This particular bumper sticker was noticed on the northern side of Fort Collins, near Campus West. Liberal based bumper stickers definitely outnumbered conservative based stickers. Obama and Bernie Sanders stickers are common in Fort Collins compared to Trump (or even Hilary Clinton). This particular bumper stick has a humorous and sarcastic touch that I enjoy. It is appropriate and addresses “the haters” without too much commotion around the subject. This bumper sticker doesn’t cause too much concern or disapproval in a city like Fort Collins, those results could differ though if we were living in a town down south where it is more republican populated.
This letter, written by Nathan Brown, was very powerful and shocking to read. UC Davis had a protest involving higher tuition rates. The protest was broken up by police who were called to scene by the Chancellor of the school. The students were arrested, abused, and stripped of their rights. Brown expressed his disappointment and disapproval on this brutal act that took place on November 18, 2011. Brown quoted the Chancellor’s letter written in response to this event and demanded her resignation. Brown points out her failure to keep the campus in a safe and welcoming environment. Brown’s outrage was successfully expressed in this letter and his voice is heard from many others who experienced repercussions of this.
