The Affirmative Action Bake Sale

Earlier I googled "Grand Valley State Republicans" and found a news article dated April 21, 2005 and detailing the exploits of one Kyle Rausch, organizer of the GVSU GOP. The event, titled the "Affirmative Action Bake Sale," got coverage from the Grand Rapids press (granted it was coverage of the negative aspects, buuutttt.....) and is, in my opinion, a shining example of what GOP groups and prominent individuals ought to be doing.

The genius behind it is the visibility of the bake sale. Affirmative Action is a very abstract term and its discrimination isn't referenced when they give breaks to fill their quotas. Now, 'official' Affirmative Action was ended with the last ballot initiative (way to go!) but it, naturally, remains.

Do you think democracy is going to rule when we retain the same liberal supporters of the program? They enforced it with a passion and actually believed in its absent benefits:do you think their elitist mindset will care what We the People have determined to be illegal? The answer is a dead no.

The new challenge before us is one of dual subordinating clauses. The primary is to bring awareness to the lingering Affirmative Action supporters in government and in university administration while using this awareness to educate the misled populace so we can finally oust [Carl Levin] these people. Rousch's program did its part for the fight in '05, our fight is in '08 is to simplify the battleground.

Bob Genetski's idea on reorganizing our system of regents will help with this. If we cut the number of people we have to identify and combat, it'll become easier to get rid of those that cling to the old, racist ways.

You can find an explanation of his idea here.
