TFP Student Action protests Ahmadinejad's presence at Columbia.

This past Monday, September 24, TFP Student Action went to New York City in order to protest the presence of Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad came to Columbia despite very tense relations between the US and Iran. He came to Columbia on the eve of his address to the United Nations.
This event drew many students, many of them Pro-Palestinian, to the forum. The talk consisted of the President of the University, Bollinger, asking Ahmadinejad several questions, many of which labeled the President a cruel and ruthless dictator. Despite this act promulgated by Bollinger, many student showed unwavering support for Ahmadinejad and cheered him on.
While this was going on inside, almost ten thousand protesters stood outside with signs and banners condemning Columbia for allowing an open enemy of America to come to one of the most prestigious Universities in the country. Many of the protesters were members of the Jewish community, however, TFP Student Action raised the American Flag and sent a message to Ahmadinejad and to Columbia that we stand in protest of this travesty. Many students as well as passers-by showed their support and agreed that what the University was doing was basically a treason.

Campus Rosary at Penn State

On Monday, September 10, 2007, volunteers from TFP Student Action did a Campus Rosary Crusade at Penn State University. The intentions of the Rosary were for our country, in light of the latest contaminated food products and children's toys from communist China. The Student Community gazed at the 8 young men praying the Rosary and immediately began to inquire about what was going on. Many students showed their support. “Your organization is just awesome. I’m Catholic, but I am afraid to display my faith in public or tell others about it. Now that I saw you guys pray the Rosary out here, I won’t be afraid to affirm my faith anymore and tell people that I am Catholic.” Students around the country hide there Catholic faith in fear of being ridiculed and mocked. This is all the more reason why we need students around the country standing up and praying the Rosary in public. Do you think you have what it takes? If so, go to www.tfp.org/sa to find out more about the Campus Rosary Crusade.
