About 85 high school students who say they are upset about the direction the nation is heading were camping out in the school library, demanding a visit from Republican Party leaders.
Students began their protest Thursday and school officials said they could stay through Friday when representatives of their Democratic congressman, U.S. Rep. Mark Udall, and U.S. Senator-elect Ken Salazar, are expected to visit them.
However the students, who brought sleeping bags and food to last through the weekend, said they also wanted to meet with representatives of school superintendent George Garcia along with Republicans Gov. Bill Owens and U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, who sponsored the failed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
