We might organize another rally when the revote occurs. If students care about this issue, they should contact their senators and voice their opinions. The legislature will respond to voter concerns, and hopefully HOPE will be protected.

[Taylor's option] leaves legislators too much control to take money out of the lottery for other things. Less money means fewer people will receive HOPE. Right now there are excess funds, but we don't want the extra money to be spent on other things. We need to protect HOPE for future generations to make up for possible shortfalls later.

I can't describe the feeling I had during the Parade of Champions. There were so many people. I've never experienced a crowd like that before. It was incredible.
