I am writing you because I want to express why I think Action is the best ticket! Not only is the presidential candidate, Zainab Kandeh, sincere about her mission with Action, she is also determined to have the voices of the minorities heard. I think it is great that all the other tickets have great plans, but they are missing one of the biggest things that all candidates should incorporate with their tickets: DIVERSITY OUTREACH! I refuse to vote for a candidate who does not come into the Multicultural Center to get acquainted with the African-American students or reach out to other minorities so that they can feel comfortable coming to them. How can I express what I want to see change on the campus if I do not know what the president looks like?
The Action ticket alone is diverse and unique from the other tickets I have witnessed during my years at Ohio University. I love that they want to build a financial foundation for other students. Raising money to give scholarships back is a wonderful idea, and it really shows that they care about the needs of others. If this has not persuaded you to vote for the Action ticket, then I don’t know what will!
