IU Students for Liberty Stage Rally

Date: 1/26/2009 10:08 am

Not all were celebrating as Barack Obama took his oath of office this past Tuesday. Shortly after the ceremony, members of Indiana University Students for Liberty gathered to protest and question the actions President Obama has already taken.  In particular, the group is upset by the certain cabinet selections President Obama has made for his cabinet and by his President Obama’s decision to back the bailouts. SFL handed out pPocket constitutions and fliers were handed out to pedestrians throughout their demonstration. One flier pointed out to the voting records of President Obama’s appointees, many of whom voted for the war in Iraq and the Patriot PATRIOT Act. While some students were receptive to the message of the protest, others were not. One student ripped down one of the group’s signs, screaming, “He’s already president!” But the group says they were prepared for this kind of reaction. Members of IU Students for Liberty argue that they are simply trying to make sure President Obama keeps the promises he made.
