ASI: Promises, promises, promises

As a previous ASI senator I can a sure the students that whatever promises are made to you by the presidential candidates will surely be broken. Every year we hear promises about “parking resolutions,” and “lobbying against fee hikes;” but tell me how many of these have been resolved. I am not attacking any one candidate, but what I am attacking is the incompetency that has been shown by those that are rerunning. Am I supposed to trust individuals that have been put up for review by the senate for issues of conduct? What I urge the student population is to push ASI to do what their job is. Don’t just vote and forget about it, pressure these individuals to do what they should, rather than acting on a hidden agenda. I urge the student to rethink and reshape the way ASI functions. After all we pay for them to play politics.

ASI: Pledge of Allegiance

In response to the YouTube video circulating on the Internet against the ASI members not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, I would just like to remind Americans that it was written in the late 19th century by a Socialist. According to news sources that documentary filmmaker Neil O’Brien has been citing, Socialists are un-American. I encourage my fellow patriots to read the biography of Francis Bellamy which can be obtained from one of our lovely state subsidized library systems.
