HW 30: Citizens Gone Wild

I attended the Citizenship Symposium at Keene State College on Tuesday Nov. 6th at 12 pm. This was the 5th biannual symposium at Keene State. They made Nov. 6th citizen day in Keene. Mel Netshammer was the host. He spoke about obligations of citizenshiAp and focused on citizenship in New Hampshire. He introduced the mayor of Keene, Michael Blastos. He refferred to the quote: "Use it or Lose it". He urged that students register to vote. They handed out pamphlets and mini copies of the U.S. Constitution. Mike Welsch spoke next. He introduced Nancy Tobey. She is one of the founders of blackbox.org. She used a boring powerpoint to explain her views on taking control of our democracy. She stressed citizen activism and election integrity. However she stated that it was a rainy Friday in Keene, when it was actually Tuesday. I nearly fell asleep during this symposium. On the bright side she quoted Moses, and that's my homeboy.
