Over 500 students, WIU faculty, and Macomb community members are listening to debate over Democratic party platforms. So far, the most serious debate concerned a proposed amendment to move from number one to number two plank status a proposal for "immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. The loudest, sustained cheering thus far was for a proposal to change the party stance from opposing the legalized use of marijuana to supporting it.
Perhaps surprisingly, the people cheering seemed amazingly clear-eyed.
That issue is number 12 on the list--and they're still on issue number four "government-mandated Universal health care."
