As an aside, I'm very concerned about the current Republican nationwide push to change current voting laws in order to disinfranchise students from voting on campus before 2012.
No, I agree it's questionable to have that in a classroom (due to the professors power) just as it is to have recall petitions going around at a workplace via a supervisor.

Did you listen or read the transcript? See below and tell me what is questionable?
STUDENT: I live in Menasha and from what I understand Senator Ellis is who, is representing [inaudible].
PROFESSOR: Um, I think you can sign it and if it doesn't, if you are in that district then your signature just won't count.
Um, if you sign this you should sign this you should sign it uh, with uh, um your campus address. You know like if you, instead of your parents' address sign it with the address here on campus.
Um, I’m not asking you to do it you're not required to do this, it's a free country, you can sign it or not sign it.
Um, I'd prefer to have people do it outside cause that way, you know it's not like I'm watching who's signing and who's not signing.
Um...and so if you want to you can go outside and sign it, if you don’t want to then well just, just stay in class.
