UNM-PIRG: Get a job losers, somewhere else! Freakin’ community aggitators, just don’t get it.

UNM should have a PIRG chapter on campus. For years, UNM has talked about how it wants to be like all the big universities. We try to copy the athletics, greek life, class courses, etc. Well, what about programs and student organizations too? If you look at all the really big universities in the nation, they all have a PIRG. And not just some small student organization either. PIRG is huge in other states. And they get a lot done. PIRG is there to ensure students have a fair voice against corporations and other large players in politics that students usually do not have a chance against. If PIRG was at UNM in the form it was meant to be, students may actually get what they want from the state, for example, lower tuition.
So, if you are a student at UNM, you get upset about the way things are going, and you feel like you don’t have a voice, go sign that petition. And please, don’t get the student PIRGs confused with the canvassers across the street. Two different groups, yo.

What a weird title for something so much cooler than just hiring new employees. Having a PIRG chapter at UNM would mean students would get a full-time campus organizer to train us to be effective advocates for the issues that matter most to us like global warming, college affordability, health care and hunger and homelessness, PLUS it means we would get lobbyists who work for us in the capital so that we actually have a voice where decisions are being made.

Signing that petition doesn’t just get PIRG a few more employees—it gives students a real chance at empowerment.

I wouldn’t object to PIRG on UNM campus, my only fear would be that due to local pressure they might attempt to organize support for illegal immigration or some other “suck the wealth away from those who produced it” cause. When reading about this organization though they sound pretty good except for their support for the health care bill.

I don’t support Illegal immigrants either..

Look at all the crime “they” have caused here in ABQ and Santa Fe..

Wow! I thought UNM would look a little more deeply into PIRG’s push to take your student fees. Guess not since they are aligned correctly “politically.” They insist they are non-partisan…..but ole Ralph Nader is their founder. Would you say that anything pushed by Bush & family is non-partisan? Apparently he felt the need to keep 60s activism alive as long as he could.

Is that bad? Not necessarily, but then how about the fact that PIRG insists it is student-run, but you must hire from their picked staff!? How about the fact that your fees also go out of state to their district and national orgs? If they can’t get your fee board to give them a dedicated fee, they petition students to allow a fee option (and reality is most students don’t de-select the option!). Do UNM students have so much disposable income that they can give PIRG the kind of support most student orgs dream to receive?? PIRG is nothing more than a mechanism to inculcate Nader’s views and agenda and use your student fees to do it!

80,000 dollars is a big price to pay to have somebody who is higher atop the PIRG pyramid come show the kids how to move and shake.
