The Long Beach College Republican organization once known as the Conservative Student Union club stayed busy this past semester supporting propositions such as Prop 19 and helping many students register to vote.
They also held weekly meetings to go over their agenda and discuss current political issues. One of the major issues the club is currently working on is getting enough signatures to recall the ASI president.They believe that the ASI president is overpaid and that if the student body could force ASI to re-distribute the money elsewhere it could better the university.
Another one of their projects currently being worked on is the, Beach Pride Referendum; which proposes to have $21 added to student’s tuition in order to help support the university sports department. They believe it is important to support CSULB's sports team financially, specifically because they have such great teams. This will help them operate correctly and they will be better prepared to compete against other colleges.
“We want to do good for the society not necessarily for big business, we think it would benefit the university as a whole,” said Jason Aula, President of the Long Beach College Republican organization.
