UPenn students try to keep Kofi Annan from speaking at commencement

http://www.kofioffcampus.org/

"Thursday, 07 April 2005
On March 22nd, the University of Pennsylvania annouced that Kofi Annan would deliver the commencement speech for the Class of 2005. Such news was immediately met with anger and disappointment by many members of the Penn Community. This is KofiOffCampus.org- where we can take back Penn Commencement!"

Click over there and sign the petition. I signed as "Karl K. Kipplinger".

The Freepers are heading over to sign the petition:

4. This is fun

I just signed as Charles Manson asking why I hadn't been invited. This was in response to post #142 from a Brian Allen...

"Oversee three of the worst mass-murder-posing-as-ethnic-cleansing atrocities in Human History? Occupy the boss's office of the world's most-corrupt-ever bureacracy? Be in charge of a systemically-serial-sexual-crime perpetrating disorganisation? Run the biggest organized-criminal fraud in History? Be paid to be the commencement speaker at what was once considered to be a leading tertiary institution? Who's up next? Charles Manson?"
