I was disappointed to read Andy Banducci's comment ("Students Plan Inauguration Celebration, Protests," Jan. 20) calling the College Democrats' expression of their opinions "kind of moot."

As an elected official, President Bush has a responsibility to represent all U.S. citizens, not only those who voted for him. To ignore the feelings and opinions of the millions of individuals who supported other candidates would be to discount these people as citizens.

Let's remember that everyone's opinion is valid, no matter how much we may agree or disagree.
