This April 2, 2013 will be three (3)years since Vincent J. Binder was murdered by three(3)escaped prisoner's,one already doing time for murder. Vincent was a successful debater from the beginning,dominating the Florida novice Lincoln-Douglas circuit. He quickly moved on to the Florida Policy Debate circuit and was crowned Novice State Champion for the state of Florida. Vincent excelled at the varsity level of policy debate in high as well,reaching elimination rounds at many national tournaments and receiving numerous individual speaker awards. As a result of his accomplishments in high school, Vincent received a scholarship to debate at the college level. Vincent continued this excellence in college,culminating in his senior year at West Georgia University where he reached elimination rounds at every tournament he attended,including sweeping the UNLV Round Robin and invitational tournament with a combined 17-1 record,debating in the finals at Northwestern,and debating in the semifinals at Wake Forest. For his accomplishments during the regular season Vincent's team was voted the 7th best in the country,receiving an automatic invitation to the National Debate Tournament. He reached elimination rounds at both collegiate National Association(CEDA)nationals,where he was recognized as the 6th best overall speaker at the nation's largest tournament. With all of his competitive sucess in debate, he was also recognized as one of the most social and friendly debaters on the circuit. After graduating from the University of West Georgia with a B.A.in Sociology, Vincent was accepted into the M.A. in Rhetoric program at Florida State University, where he served not only as a Teaching Assistant for Public Speaking classes, but also as the University's Debate Coach.

So, please sign this petition and let's get the justice Vincent's deserves. Thank you, The Binder Family
