Roy, Birdsall "Defect" From Original Anticorruption Mandate

[aggienaut]

   At the time, running on promises to end ASUCD corruption and shadiness, the Friends Urging Campus Kindness facebook group accrued an unprecedented 2,000+ subscribers. Since then, official leaders of the group have one by one been guillotined until only three of the original seven remained: Pete Hernandez, Kristen Birdsall, and Rob "Robespierre" Roy. For fear that the mighty banhammer would be used to squash further dissent, leadership of the group was placed under a Protection Committee and Roy was temporarily relieved of bannorizing privileges.
   I then sent out the following message: (title: F.U.C.K. Officers to be Removed by ASUCD)

Friends Urging Campus Kindness was founded in opposition to the corruption and shadiness that had been prevelent at the time within the ASUCD Senate.

Last Thursday the Senate passed legislation retroactively eliminating requirements for office so they could seat certain people. This Thursday the Senate has placed on its agenda the removal of four long-time Friends Urging Campus Kindness supporters for having expressed dissent over this.

Senators Roy and Birdsall, elected via F.U.C.K. themselves, are poised to support this action.

I urge you to tell Roy and Birdsall yourselves whether you feel this represents what F.U.C.K. stands for.

Message Kris Fricke for more ways you can help keep the F.U.C.K. in ASUCD and prevent Senate from fucking F.U.C.K.

   Now it is important to note that I do not state anything which is not true (Roy disputes that they actually intend to remove us, so I didn't say they intended to but that its on the agenda), nor do I add any kind of valuative judgements to the narration (its not the bad, evil, or unethical legislation, it is simply the legislation as its proponents might themselves describe it), and most importantly of all, I do not even call for the party members to oppose the action. I simply urge them to tell their senators themselves how they feel about this.

   As of 5:13pm today ASUCD Senator Robert Roy announced that he and fellow senator Kristin Birdsall “have defected from the [Friends Urging Campus Kindness] party and are now independents.” They are survived by various F.U.C.K. members holding commission positions. Their first action as independants may well be to axe four former compatriots, for reasons which have as yet still not been disclosed.

   Roy is also, incidently, running for City Council, and has expressed an interest in changing the name of the F.U.C.K. facebook group to something presumbably along the lines of "Rob Roy For City Council"

   All four persons set to stand trial tomorrow not only request that the closed session be open to public, but maintain that there is not usually any "deliberations" during Senate, and the only privacy rights that can be invoked are those of the accused, who have waived them, and therefore the common practice of Senate retreating behind closed doors after an "open closed session" may not take place.


   In conclusion, tis better to be independant than have to hear from your constituents.

Thanks for all of the insight you have provided throughout this struggle. After all student government is stupid, and everything they do is stupid, and everyone involved is stupid. Yep, it's all stupid. And by your comments, you convinced everyone on the Senate that the ASUCD is stupid, and they're going to disband it tomorrow. Because we should really all just shut the fuck up, because we're just not interesting.

Oh wait, maybe that's you.

yes that's exactly what I've been saying all along and not merely a reactionary response to your numerous anonymous livejournal detractors
