This month Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) joined 7 other Senators to issue a filibuster threat against the soon to come climate and energy bill.

Casey should know better and know that we’re paying attention. Please let him know he was deeply mistaken in signing onto that letter and that his constituents will not let him get away with compromising the economic future of Pennsylvania by protecting fossil fuel interests.

Call in to his office at (215) 405–9660 or look for the Earthlust table in Parrish Parlors Tuesday or Wednesday to tell him you oppose this action!

We are looking for up to 10 underclassmen who are dedicated to the Senior class, responsible, and able to stay on campus for the entire Senior Week (May 23rd through May 31).

Workers may be asked to drive vans if they are van-certified.

Workers will have time off during the week to hang out with their senior friends or family members and are encouraged to join in the fun of senior week when not on duty. To fill out an application, go to the following link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cHdsUUlfdE93QVlseFpqdWpuM3NkVEE6MA
