Congressman Meek makes USF stop
U.S. Congressman Kendrick Meek will visit USF today to participate in an early voting rally organized by the university’s College Democrats.
Meek, who was at USF last month when John Kerry visited the campus, will join former student body President Omar Khan in an attempt to recruit students to participate in the state’s early voting procedure, beginning at 10 a.m. Meek will leave campus around noon.
The rally will begin at Crescent Hill at 11 a.m., where there will be food and live music for students. At least twice, once at noon and again at 4 p.m., buses will leave the campus to take students to voting centers. John Duddy, president of the College Democrats, said a third bus might leave during the day when Meek departs.
Duddy also said other student organizations will be involved, possibly providing more opportunities for students to vote early.
