Everybody went nuts," recalls Buggeln. ".. the university was effectively shut down."
Norm Coleman was at the forefront was the leader of the unrest, but his triumph was in shutting down
the school. At Hofstra, Norm Coleman led the staged campus-wide strike.
Norm Coleman with his megaphone in hand lead and directed the taking over the Student Center and
the Main Administration Building not caring that then and today this was a federal crime!
With the present environment of the gun violence on many Universities today Norm you most
likely not only would have been arrested but even could have been shot by the campus police for
taking over the Student Center and the Main Administration Building. You were guilty but just
never got arrested!
But the Hofstra students were beginning to see through what motivates Norm Coleman’s and his
leadership role in the unrest a Hofstra was short-lived; he was not content to be the school’s self styled
radical hippie pot smoking anti-establishment activist any more but literally "He wanted to be a
politician and from Sofia and many of the students point of view, Norman wanted to take over the
Hofstra Chronicle the Hofstra press which would give him control of many aspects of how Hofstra
University was run.
So when students returned to campus in the fall, they voted to replace Coleman with Paul Hearne, a
wheelchair-bound student who went on to help draft the Americans with Disabilities Act before dying in
1998.
With graduation from Hofstra looming in 1971, Coleman faced the unhappy prospect of being drafted.
But the antiwar activist tricked his Draft Board by flunked his physical, due to a crash diet he lost
enough weight to be deemed too skinny to fight in Vietnam.
In 1971 Norm Coleman ran from the draft using every trick in the book to get out of serving his
country during the Vietnam War.
While by then Dr. Jack Shepard who had volunteered and enlisted to join the Untied States Air Force at
the University of Minnesota was promoted to the rank Captain Jack Shepard, as his commander often
said Jack always had the right stuff.
Captain Jack E. Shepard would proudly wear his blue United States Air Force
Captain's Uniform when he had the chance to return to the University of Minnesota on leave; often
getting some cat calls from other long hair pot smoking anti-establishment radical activists like Norm
Coleman who worked hard to lose so much weight that he
would not get drafted but Captain Jack Shepard did his duty to proudly serve his country.
Looking at Senator Norm Coleman I see no sign lack of weight or strength of a person who could not
serve his country when the draft called.
NEVER CALL NORM COLEMAN A VETERAN IT WOULD BE AN INSULT TO THE
58,193 BRAVE AMERICAN SOLDIERS WHO DIED IN VIETNAM FOLLOWING
AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY ! RIGHT OR WRONG.
More than a decade after those tumultuous times, Herbert Rosenbaum was visiting family in the Twin
Cities. Flipping through channels one morning, he came upon a public affairs show featuring the
familiar face of Norman Coleman. The former student
was now a prosecutor with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office.
"I was surprised because he took a very hard, law-and-order line”, "Rosenbaum says.
He sure fooled everyone now and then especially the Draft Board. He is a professional flip-flopper said
Warren Spannaus , “"Norman's one of the classic flip-floppers.”
His performance certainly didn't lack for chutzpah, considering Coleman's own transformation from
'60s-era radical too weak and under weight to be drafted to the strong well built conservative
Republican he has literal surgically made himself into. If you see Norm Coleman today; there is no way
you would think he ever could have created the illusion that he was to weak and skinny to fight in
Vietnam. If you ask me what he did in fooling the draft board stinks.
"Norman's one of the classic flip-floppers," says Warren Spannaus, the former Democratic
attorney general who initially hired Coleman as a prosecutor. "I suppose by the time we get to
the election he will have switched over to being against this war, too."
For our next U.S. Senate from Minnesota we sure do not need another attorney. The Untied States
Congress is dominated by attorneys. Our American Congress when it was created was a fine mix of
people from all walks of life with all types of backgrounds.
Today we need people who have a wealth of experience both Nationally and Internationally to get elected
to our next U.S. Congress. If at any time in our history our next American Senate has an urgent need
for some fresh new blood with international experience and other talents beside being a past
prosecuting attorneys.
It is urgent for the very future existence of America’s and her survival in these dangerous times that
the next U.S. Senate elect literal as many military officers who have recently serviced overseas or are
presently serving abroad especially with their massive experience and understanding of the very
complete Middle East Region to educate their new fellow Senators about the situation from years of
personal contact and dealing with people from all over the world; they know how America is presently
perceived by other countries.
Just because a senator has briefly for a few days travelled to Iraq, Israel or Africa etc. they can not
even begin to understand the most complex situation that America has found itself it in our young
history.
Ask Norm Coleman to show his true colors and why after his failed
attacks on Kofi Annan, George Galloway Part 1 and George Galloway Part 2 and Jaques Chirac many
others how are you helping your fellow
Minnesotans by becoming the failed Prosecutor of the Untied States
Senate, the senate has attorney’s for that!
We in Minnesota wish a Senator who will fight for Minnesotans, even with international experience
working to have foreign governments adopts human rights and democratic norms like the rest of the
world. Instead of a Senator who is happy seeing his face on TV and in Newspapers even though he failed
in his attempts to prosecuting world leaders; cost us Millions of Dollars.
