A Red and Black article notes that today a “get out the vote” rally will be held at Tate:
SGA is hosting a “Rock the Vote” campaign from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and Thursday in Tate Plaza. Local musicians Atticus Hicks and Allison Weiss will play.
This event is an SGA run event, and as such, shouldn’t be associated with the SOS Party.
But, like usual, it seems there is a little behind-the-scenes, insider action going on.
Allison Weiss, one of the musicians performing at the “Rock the Vote”, works for the SOS Party. She is their webmaster. Nothing like a little free exposure, and maybe some album sales, for working for the SGA insiders.
You judge for youself, but this reeks of cronyism.
*Update*
To make this look even more like cronyism, Allison Weiss made a Facebook event for the “Rock the Vote” Rally (which is tomorrow, R&B wrong again). And under the description:
I’ll have CDs and shit for sale so hell yeah for that.

Hmmmm….
This seems a little farfecthed to me. I don’t know all of the details, or really even any details at all, but i doubt katy and ali were scheming ‘haha!’ ‘we can leverage our postion into 20 ADDITIONAL ALBUM SALES FOR OUR WEBMASTER buahahahaha’. More like a coincidence. If someone was going to intentionally do something nefarious, hopefully it’d be better than this.
Just my .02$
Mr. Press Secretary,
Any sense of impropriety looks bad for your organization, so why let it happen?
Pretty suspicious…especially based on SGA’s past history with webmasters.
But on the other hand, this is giving her free publicity. I’m curious if she’s recorded a cover of “S.O.S.” or “Stayin’ Alive” or some other appropriate tune?
HA!
