Oops, you missed
Good news, everybody. Your intercampus student government is standing up for YOU, the student. Check out these STUDENT-RELEVANT issues:
Registering student voters! What better way to make sure students have a voice than by diluting yours with even more student registrations! No, no, don't be absurd, students aren't adults who can make their own decisions about whether or not they want to vote. It's up to us, the UCSA, to take care of it.
Fighting the proposed tightening of restrictions on UC eligibility! That's right. All of you students who are already in the UC system, this is totally a relevant issue for you! "Board members said the proposed GPA raise adversely affects stupid people." We can't let underqualified students be turned away by the system. We need to admit MORE and MORE!!!
More money for education, less money for prisons! Amazingly, we at the UCSA discovered a way to whine about the three strikes law by pretending it has to do with students! After all, we're facing a budget crunch, and need MORE MONEY (but also want to admit MORE and MORE students, which isn't counterproductive at all). Says GAEAVP Claudia Medina, "I'd rather have that money (spent on prisons) going to schools. But totally in a non-selfish way."
How is your super-duper student government accomplishing these things? We're going to hold a rally at the UC REGENTS MEETING next week, because our rallies have had such great success in the past, we just had to do them again. We'll also be training our members to conduct VOTER REGISTRATION, because it's important to get the people who don't really care too much either way to the polls so that they can vote randomly. This is essential for the sake of DEMOCRACY!!!!
