Send Your Text Book to McCain/Hatch - Page 2

People have to pay for those text books, Im sure this will all back fire into a "See how they reject our free k-12 education by getting rid of txt books that AMERICAN tax payers paid for??" I can hear Faux news already.

We have to work together here guys,, then we can brainstorm counters to the logic o the opposition, we pay taxes, it is a college book, we can't just wait for something to happen.

send old college ones, not high school ones, we shouldn't even have those anyway! lol u kept them

wth for? the symbolism is lost once they toss them anyways.... it's not like they're gonna amass them and show them to the media.

don't send them directly to the senators, send them to someone that can amass all the books and then make it a big deal by putting it all in a truck and dumping them in the front steps.

I still do not see it as being right that they would be textbooks, it would be better if it were just notes. Sending textbooks that they could just profit from or books that we lose would seem like a big waste.

but either way, a big truck dumping them in the front steps could signify wasted knowledge.

I like the ideas of sending notes en masse ! It's so much more efficient than sending textbook. Textbook is hella expensive and so heavy; it gonna cost a lot of postage to send a textbook whereas notes are very light.

I have boxes of notes at home from previous classes.

i dunno about you guys, but i value my notes. I guess i could send the unimportant class notes like poli-sci and history....but i don't even think i have those anymore

I hear you! My textbooks are my life pretty much. I never really write notes on seperate pieces of paper but rather directly into the books. They say when you write notes in books, you make it twice as longer than before but twice as shorter to read ( a saying)!

You could ask for old notes from friends or family. Or, you could go to local library to buy a $1 textbook and send it to the senators to symbolize wasted knowledge.

The thing is that notes are a whole lot more personal then simply a textbook which anyone could buy. It shows our dedication of time to education, and they can be a pretty impressive sight en masse, because they would know that dreamers wrote all that. Imagine imagine thousands of pages of handwritten notes.

and this issue, it is getting very personal for politicians to use it as a game to gain votes.

I used to write note on my textbooks and I do have a chemistry textbook somewhere which you will have a challenge to find any white, empty space to write even a word. It worked well, but that one was for an AP class in high school and I got it for $20, college books, the professors require new editions and they end up costing about 200-250 each, it seems like a shame to write on them even though I agree with you, I felt it was more beneficial to write my notes on the text because it was right there with the text that supported my notes.
