I cannot and will not tell you what point of view to hold or express regarding the current budget crisis in California. However, given the tremendously high stakes for all Californians and especially for students in California Community Colleges, if there was ever a time when it was important that you communicate your concerns and your position to the governor and legislative leaders that time is NOW.
I urge you in the strongest terms to take a few minutes to craft a concise message briefly describing your position on the California budget and briefly mentioning who you are and why you care about how this issue is handled - and to then sent it to as many of the following as you think appropriate.
Don't wait for someone else to do it!
