Make our opinion heard on President Ladner

I got e-mail from AU community.
This is time to protest in campus!
=================================================
In response to John Doe's email, here's information tomorrow's protest:
First off, it's not an SIS protest.. it's an AU community protest. Everyone is welcome to join and have their voices heard. Some people have mentioned that the report hasn't come out yet.. let it be known that we're not debating the legality of the situation, we're debating the morality and ethics involved in acting the way that Mr. Ladner did, with such blatant disregard to the consiquences his actions might have on the rest of the AU community. So far the people involved are student-run organizations who, as far as I know, have opted to remain anonymous, but be assured that there are many, and they come from all different political/religious views. In addition, the idea began as small groups of students, not affiliated with any organization, who wanted to make sure that the voice of the student body was heard.. as a result, the small groups have joined forces and are working hard on organizing tomorrow's rally. Many professors have announced their attendance, and some have even asked to speak. So the people attending will be current students, alumni, professors, faculty members, community members, etc.. The goal of tomorrow's event is to simply make the voice of those who are being affected by this whole situation heard. So far we've heard from Ladner, reporters, and other officials, yet no one has asked us our opinion. There will be a meeting of the board of trustees at the same time as our meeting inside MGC, and we'd like them to know that we won't be left out of the discussions regarding President Ladner's future. Media has definitely been contacted: reporters from the American Eagle, the American Weekly, BenLadner.com, and the Washington Post will be present. Those are just the ones that I know about, however there have been other individuals contacting other media groups. The details are as follows:
When: Wed. the 28th of September @ 5:oopm
Where: Main Quad, outside of MGC
Why: Make our opinion heard on President Ladner/ demand his resignation
This issue affects all members of the AU community, and therefore it is important that we all stand together in making our voices heard.
Please spread the word... let's have a great turnout tomorrow!!

Did you say dogging or blogging? Brits confused
Proponents of the latest Web trends were warned on Tuesday that the rest of the world may not have a clue what they are talking about.
