ASUC Senatorial Antics: No on 73
The ASUC is officially endoring no on 73, based on a Senate Bill
http://www.asuc.org/documentation/view.php?type=bills&id=463
This a clear violation of its pledge to represent all students. As I've said before, the senate never asked us if we wanted No on 73, nor have they inquired to see if even a majority of the campus supports no on 73. Did I miss some sort of poll? They didn't even ask if the majority of the campus is pro-choice. If this elitist ASUC feels it can sit here and pass bills without the consent of the governed, they don't deserve to be an entity of government, period. This bill probably won't even affect the outcome of the initiative! The people already have their minds made up.
I don't care if a bunch of senators feel strongly about the issue. I don't care if they support whatever set of rights they're trying to protect. They violated the trust of the people in the same way Anu Joshi and the Graduate Aseembly violated the trust of the people 3 years ago. I don't care if this were a Yes on 73 initiative, it's still wrong.
Update: Matt Bunch is suing the Senate in Judicial Council for actions over No on 73.

How can Matt Bunch sue? Is he still a student??
Yes. I am still a student. At least until the end of this semester.
