Cut them free!
Stop giving wannabe-politicians money, dammit! ASUC wants to give the Cal Lobby Corps $8,000. Newsflash! Cal Lobby Corps isn't going to change it's lobbying plans even if the ASUC pays its dues. Just don't bother.
At this year's annual August meeting, the association decided to lobby for education funding, outreach programs and environmental sustainability.
Educational funding and outreach make sense to me. But environmental sustainability? How non-student can you get? Leave that crap to CalPIRG.
Executive Veep Taina Gomez: "It's really sad that UCB hasn't been as active in the past few years because that has really limited how much we've been able to do with the regents and lobbying in D.C."
Lobbying in D.C.? How about lobbying in Sacramento? Where it matters? Don't worry, though. Nobody with the money cares what a bunch of students think. Save us all a bit of cash and cut UCSA loose. What're they gonna' do? "Regents, we want you to reduce student fees everywhere except Berkeley, because they suck. Seriously."
