The San Francisco International Inquiry into 9-11 continues to operate with support from Greens nationwide, including in areas close to campus.

Monday, May 10th in the Oak Room of Tressider, 2 people from each of the College Repubs, Stanford Dems, and Greens at Stanford will face off in an intellectual battle for the hearts, minds, and votes of their peers.

If you want to know what 2 secret issues we decided on, come to the debate! The Greens at Stanford encourage debate on party platforms, and propose that those who agree with the Green Party platform register Green, and vote their conscience!
