In today’s elections for City Commission’s District 4, students should choose Randy Wells. Wells has a proven track record of getting results and bringing people together.
I want to give a sincere thank you to all the students who voted in elections Tuesday and Wednesday. Especially those who helped the Student Alliance party gain a historic 20 seats in the Student Senate. Over the course of the campaign, the Student Alliance candidates and supporters demonstrated incredible character, integrity and devotion.
Almost everyone recognizes the importance of sustainability. Americans are beginning to prioritize environmental protection, create a renewable power economy and conserve energy. President Barack Obama's stimulus package, bills in the state legislature, and UF's sustainability programs have all made sustainability a priority to prevent energy waste and avert climate change.
Last Thursday's Alligator article on the City Commission's first-in-the-nation vote to implement solar energy incentives shows why it's important for all UF students to vote in the Gainesville city elections on March 24.
The Gator Party's vote to cut off students' time to address the Student Senate - and Gator Party Leader Jonathan Fager's attempt to rationalize that decision in yesterday's letter - shows that the Gator Party just doesn't want to hear from students.
In Tuesday's Alligator, College Republicans Chairman Bryan Griffin said that Sen. John McCain's pick for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was a person of honesty and integrity.
Thanks to the Alligator for publishing its editorial urging students to vote in the election on Tuesday, Jan. 29. The presidential primary and the Gainesville City Commission races will take place along with a third important question: the proposed constitutional amendment affecting property taxes.
While I don't agree with the way some of the audience members conducted themselves at Gonzales' speech, the disruptive behavior of the protesters pales in comparison with Gonzales' actions as White House counsel and U.S. attorney general. Gonzales denied the writ of habeas corpus, authorized illegal, warrantless wiretapping, and lied to Congress about firing U.S. attorneys before ultimately resigning after losing the confidence of Congress members from both parties.
I was appalled to read Yooni Yi and the Gator Party's position that a one-party system in Student Government "isn't problematic."
