Dear Milligan Community:
I am one of the few Democrat students on this
campus who chooses to voice my opinion. Saturday morning I went to my car and
discovered that someone had ripped my "Kerry/Edwards" bumper stickers off the
back. As a result, the paint on my trunk was peeled away. This made me very
angry. My car has been vandalized. My right to free speech has been
violated. I am not happy about this at all. I do not ask you to agree with
me in my decision to vote for John Kerry. I was simply expressing my
opinion. I know of other instances of such vandalism, and I believe it shows
a lack of respect to do things like this. I find the whole situation to be a
breakdown of Christian values. No matter what you believe, it is not right to
vandalize something in the name of that cause. I have replaced the bumper
stickers and will continue to replace them if this continues to happen. Thank
you for your time.
Peace and Love.
Emily Banks
