What's YOUR blood type?

We know Democrats are more attractive than Republicans. But can we College Democrats prove that we can out-bleed the other side?

We and the College Republicans are having a challenge to see which group can get more of its members to participate in Week 2 of the American Red Cross's CMU blood drive.

The blood drive will last from 11 AM to 5 PM Monday through Thursday at the following locations:

• Monday – Sweeney
• Tuesday – Finch
• Wednesday – Emmons
• Thursday – Towers

Be sure to eat plenty of food a couple hours before donating. When you do stop by to donate, let them know that you're with the College Democrats; they will be keeping a tally. For $7, you will also have a chance to buy a blue T-shirt with the phrase "I Bleed Blue" on the front.

The College Republicans have more members than the College Democrats, so we need as many College Dems and friends to donate as we can get. There is no prize for whichever group 'wins' (except bragging rights), but regardless of which side 'wins,' the ultimate winners are those who need the blood we are donating.

So see if you can find some time in your schedule to donate. The College Dems will thank you... but more importantly, the community will thank you.
