Shame on MSU Students for Hillary Clinton. In a move that is absent of any tact or respect for fellow Democrats and students, members of this group have spread the rumor that MSU Students for Barack Obama forced members to sign pledge cards stating that if Hillary won the Democratic nomination, they would neither support, work for or vote for Clinton. As representatives of and participants in a campaign that spent so much time calling for an end to ‘Swift Boat’ tactics, this is deplorable.
The rumor itself doesn’t even make any sense. MSU SFBO has hundreds of members, and many of them are new to the political process and are looking to get involved in their first presidential campaign. Why on earth would so many agree to give up their ability to continue in this sort of participation on any terms? Furthermore, why would so many people who care enough about politics to volunteer for a candidate agree to give up what their efforts all surround — their ability to vote? It just isn’t logical.
