We Will Never Forget

Thursday, July 23, 2009 and Friday, July 24, 2009 and Tuesday, July 28, 2009 will go down in history as the days when the California State Legislature voted on and the Governor signed over two dozen bills that decimated K-12, the California Community Colleges, the California State University and the University of California with billions of dollars in cuts, increased student fees 30% on California's over 2 million community college students and essentially spit in the face of Califorina's future.

According to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/, this is how our state legislators voted. We will never forget.
