Hello There!

Just wanted to report from California that many are dissatisfied with the University of California, a system of 9 universities, 5 hospitals, and 3 research labs. This is including the facility in Los Alamos New Mexico where the first nuclear weapon commissioned by the us military was produced and has made every nuke used by the military since... by our very own public universities.

This is a huge system and it is being piloted as the premier example for 'public-private strategic partnerships'.... and you should see the old boy's club that runs it a group of 19 unelected businessmen, with hands in everything from Enron to BP to construction firms profiting from the war in Iraq. Ugh.

Anyways, people ARE doing things, and a statewide movement to change California's Constitution to DEMOCRATIZE the UC BOARD OF REGENTS is beginning. For more info, check out

Best wishes on all your progress, and please let us know how we can work together to Free Education!!
