Vote! Vote! VOTE, Dammit! Chancellor Bob (the new one) sent an e-mail to "The Campus Community" reminding us to VOTE!!!!!!!! Or, more specifically, register before the deadline. How annoying. Stop bugging us. We'll vote whenever we damn well want to vote. I was planning on voting this election, but I'm tempted not to, just to spite all those "REGISTER TO VOTEEEEE!!!111ONe" folks on campus. (Hey, it's not a "DETOUR TO VOTE" if you put it right in our way.) Dear Cal Community, I write to you today to urge you to register this week to vote in the November 2, 2004 Election. This election will not only decide who the next President of the United States will be, but it will also decide who will represent you in Congress, in the California State Legislature, and on the City of Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board. This election will provide you, as students and as citizens, with the opportunity to make your voices heard on a number of local and statewide issues, including Tribal Gaming, Criminal Justice, and HealthCare. It is vital that your representatives in government know that, as students at a public institution of Higher Education, you care about the policies they adopt in government and how those policies affect your lives. I'll add that this election includes mountains of propositions and measures and referenda and the like because the California legislature is too lazy or too cowardly to do their job and legislate. And, of course, while the election will (help) decide who our president will be, Cal voters won't. Vote NO on registering to vote. posted by Beetle Aurora Drake 10/14/2004 09:17:00 PM # Comments (0) . . .
