ONE Rocks the Vote at Baylor University
The ONE Campaign at Baylor University teamed up with Rock the Vote to encourage students to vote in the upcoming presidential election and emphasize issues facing millions of the world’s poorest people. After a one week delay due to Hurricane Ike, Baylor’s Rock the Vote concert was held on Wednesday, September 17 in one of the most heavily traveled portions of campus. Baylor ONE members tabled at the event, passed out ONE Vote ’08 information, and encouraged students to join the campaign.
The featured musical artist Trey Duck, Shapes Stars Make, and Sleeperstar wore ONE bands as they performed their music to a crowd of Baylor students. While the concert was going on, students were encouraged to depict what voting meant to them through their artistic abilities and sign a wall with messages of the importance of voting. Overall, the night provided a great opportunity to highlight the importance of voting and the ONE Campaign to hundreds of college students.

Great event @ Baylor University which has been a BIG campus supporter of ONE since the beginning of ONE four years ago!
Is it possible to bring the ONE bus to the campuses of the South (including Texas)? I think that y’all would be gratified at the reception that it would receive down here.
ALWAYS FOREVER, ONE – debbie
