*******Protest Alberto Gonzales at WashU!
Speak out against torture, constitution-shredding, and the obstruction
of justice all at the same time!*

*Why:*
     Gonzales represents: the justification of torture, cronyism,
corporate favors, lack of transparency, and politicizing the government
just to name a few. Come out and tell the world that St. Louis believes
that America can be better than this!
     Disgraced former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is being paid
$30,000 by the WashU Student Union to speak on our campus. An additional
$5,000 has been allocated for "extra security." St. Louis believes that
America can be better than this!
