Thank you for taking the time to go at the Dick Cheney protest and videotape this rally. I was working that's why I didn't go. My friends and I really appreciate people like you who volunteer their time to cover protest that "our" media totally ignore. THANK YOU.
Dear California Voters: (Monday, August 23,2004)
Governor Gray Davis made a budget that was bad
for community colleges. He first reduced funding for
community colleges. most bathrooms are locked and
broken computers are not being repaired.
Last year Governor Gray Davis asked the legislature for
a series of fee increases for community college students.
Fall 2003 increase fees from $11.00 per credit to $18.00
per credit for in state students.
Then Fall 2004 increase in state fees to $26.00 per credit.
In 2003 some computer science classes were canceled because
of low enrollment resulting from Gray Davises cuts. Gray Davis
was RECALLED as a result.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Governor Arnold Shwartzenegger made a mistake in his budget
in 2004. He asked the legislature to increase dog pound funding
to have dogs that nobody likes and have even been rejected by
their own owners live for six days instead of only three before
being humanely euthanized.
Dogs that nobody likes that have even been rejected by their own
owners are a stupendous waste of scarce state money.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of wasting state money on dog pounds for additional
time for dogs that nobody likes, Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger
should ask the state legislature to restore funding for
Californias 109 community colleges and
also undo Gray Davises fee increases
by changing the $26.00 per unit fee back to the $11.00 per unit
fee. Many students at community colleges are even poorer than I am
and could benifit from resetting the fee to only $11.00 per unit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Community colleges have been mortally crippled by the Gray Davis
budget. Classes have been canceled and many bathrooms have been locked
and most of Californias 109 community colleges face immediate closure
altogether.
I am asking Californias voters here today to restore the budget
for community colleges in California.
Priority Items for the Fall 2004 semester that starts August 30th
2004 are :
Advanced Math classes Math 260 and higher. The space program needs
advanced Algebra and Calculus.
Computer PROGRAMMING classes such as the C language and assembler
languages are also a higher priority than most.
Please use your power as a voter to save Community Colleges and
Universities in California.
It is extremely unfair to require Students to be the only ones who
suffer the entire burden of the Californias budget cutting.

Because of the fact that there are still far too many near misses
with golf carts that have still not quit driving on sidewalks I have
written a article REQUESTING A CHANGE OF CONFIGURATION
at the big atom smasher so fewer protons at a time will be accelerated
to even higher velocities when the upgrade is performed.
