Ooooh, spiffy
Political Website Review!
CalSERVE.
"Changing it up... Pushing for progress... Since 1984."
Back when I was a kid, "changing it up" meant... uh... you know... changing stuff. You can't really say "I'm changing it up by doing the same thing I've been doing for 20 years."
To the values!
Only through learning and understanding all voices can the ASUC effectively serve all students and be sure it is making the right decisions. We will represent students who are underrepresented in the ASUC, Berkeley Campus, and throughout the city and state.
Only through hearing all voices can we effectively serve all students. Therefore, we will only represent students who are underrepresented (i.e. not all of them)
They call a progressive agenda "progression." Which is a new term to me. They will be fighting the 'isms. Racism, sexism, homophobia... Whoa, slow down folks. You'd better make that homophobiaism.
In the past the ASUC has wasted a lot of time, energy, and money by being childish. We will maintain the highest standards of professionalism maximizing our efficiency and effectiveness to affect change.
*nod in agreement* That's very, very important. Ahem.
Any institution will become corrupt and be abused if the proper systems, checks & balances are not installed. Currently the ASUC and the university need to strengthen these systems. We will institutionalize systems of fairness and equality in the ASUC and the University.
Also very, very important. Can't have people bypassing checks and balances. Ahem again. Let me just requote that, from CalSERVE then-senator Bahar Khanjari:
"Ideally it wasn’t a good idea to waive the by-laws, but it was really important for us to conduct business and support our student groups."
To the achievements!
Hmm... looks like they haven't done anything since Spring 2003.
To the voter's guide!
Raza Vote Day and Women's Vote Day -Tuesday 13th
Black Vote Day - Wednesday 14th
People of Color Vote Day- Thursday 15th
Uh... I don't really know what to say... can't your supporters just vote whenever they feel like it? And do you not have any voters who don't fall into those categories? What happens if your voters fall into more than one category?
Update: 7ate9 points out that elections are April 5-7, according to election.asuc.org. Nice work, CalSERVE. (I figure it's prolly from last year, but still...)
I'll save individual candidate issues for later. Those'll be fun, though.
