ASUC!
Kevin is right, as he frequently is, about how the recall's postponement is going to affect us in terms of ASUC. CalSERVE and company have shown no willingness to actually help out students on campus, instead focusing their entire efforts on Prop 54. Delaying the election by another 5 months means 4 more months of absolutely no useful action from ASUC. (They'll take winter break off)
It's really a queer situation. We voted to elect certain representatives and gave them money to represent us and do things for us. CalSERVE is taking that money and spending it to tell us how to vote. How screwed up is that? The money is to be spent on students, not on the elected representatives' particular political goals.
This is the basis of my support for Student Action. They may be petty, political, and partisan, but they spend the fees they get on student groups, not state political issues. But my support is going to fade unless I hear some Student Action folks actually stand up and say something. I've heard absolutely nothing from them on any issue. They won't raise any issue with the way CalSERVE is focusing its energies on a non-student issue. So please, SA, do something! Actions speak louder than words, but I haven't even heard words from you!
