Subject: VOTING IS ESSENTIAL<br><div>Hello Graduate Students of UCR,</div><div><br></div><div>I want to take this time to clarify statements issued in my candidate statement. I stated that I wanted to, "inspire the apathetic and help students to understand that their voice of graduate students need to be heard at all levels of administration." No where in that statement does it say that all graduate students are apathetic but we know that some are either unaware or simply do not care about campus politics. I want them to join GSA's ranks by attending Council meetings, Forums, and Office hours to voice their opinions and whether it be in person to administration via the conduit of THEIR GSA officers because it is here where many decisions are made. </div>
<div><br></div><div>What inspired that statement was the 9% voting rate of the 2011 elections which included a referendum to increase support to Conference Travel Grants. I know a large number of you need more support and care a great deal about how your GSA & Student Services Funds are spent but 9% is unacceptable in my eyes. GSA works hard for all of you but now you have to work hard for yourselves. You don't have to prove me wrong, you must prove yourselves RIGHT. I want to see 20% and beyond! </div>
<div><br></div><div>VOTE!!!!!!</div><div><br></div><div>Come to the Belltower today from 2-4pm to vote for whatever candidate you wish.</div><div><br></div>****<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><i>GSA does shall take no official stance on any ballot issue or support any particular candidate or group of candidates.
