Threaten to donate to a primary opponent. The Senate office number is 202-224-6551.

We can't shrink down the stimulus bill, because it's already too small. And the cuts he want to make are some of the items most effective in stimulating the economy, and would help regular people the most. We need every dollar in there to prop up the US economy.

I just called and threatened to give money to any primary opponent if he doesn't cut this out. A flood of calls threatening the same thing might help.

And if Nelson does go through with this, he deserves a primary. It would probably be better to have a Republican in there, because since Nelson is nominally a Democrat, it plays into a media narrative that says that the "moderate" thing is to cut out funding for vital, popular programs that would effectively stimulate our depressed economy. One more Republican would just blend in with that crowd, but a disloyal Democrat can make news. And if a Republican wins the seat, we can try to knock him out with a real Democrat next time.

Legal Opinion?

If there's any lawyers or knowledgeable people out there, your help would really be appreciated.

I'm the President of Cornell University's college Democrats. Our group would like to print t-shirts, but because Cornell is very strict about its trademark, they can't say "Cornell Democrats". We are currently planning on having the shirts say "CU Democrats" because it seems like Cornell can't possibly own the letters "CU". Are we right? If the administration harasses us can I safely tell them we have every right to print the shirts?

Thanks for your help.

This is my first diary here, so I thought I'd post a link to my first published op-ed. It's in my college's newspaper, the Cornell Daily Sun. The good thing is that the paper is widely read, so a few thousand bright young people should read what I have to say. I also think I made a fairly convincing comprehensive case against privatization, and I don't think I've seen anything like this anywhere. So read away.

Here's the link: http://www.cornellsun.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/02/03/4201b4b25df04
