I too am inclined to think that they should recieve their funding from somewhere else. Timothy, you're right my name is french Jacqueline... and I am a huge Frenchi socialist so fork over your money biatch so I can redistribute it to meaningless programs that do nothing to support your interests. Are you kidding me? lol Oh no no no don’t take my comments as supporting OSPRIG, I was being sarcastic! I too am inclined to think that they should recieve their funding from somewhere else.

They loudly pronounce a "campaign" on the hottest environmental/social issue of the moment, use the press to raise even more money then they are already extorting from campuses, they hire a few sorry students "raise awareness" (awareness=more money), and lobby some, only to forget the whole thing when a new and scarier problem hits the media. I'm sorry, but if that isn't cynical, I don't know what is. And yes, the student funding issue is the most important one. It has become especially funny to see how OSPIRG has shifted it''s attention from pollution and homelessness to textbook prices. Why, you ask? Gee, maybe because PIRGs have been coming under fire on campuses, and now they have to "re-brand" themselves as student advocates. This proves the point beautifully: OSPIRG doesn't so much care about any of the things they say they do, they simply care about that funding. They are willing to shift topics based on media trends, they make no effort to solve problems once the hype has paid off with a good fundraising effort, and the only constant is the poor assholes on 13th asking me "if I have a moment for the environment" who think they are making a difference.

You know you love OSPRIG come on they are trying to lower your textbook prices and stuff. If we don't give them money they might not do that for you. Don't be a hater. No, on the real they do important work and I don't think that that is the question. The question is where should their funding come from? Should it come from students when then the money goes to funding such a wide variety of political endeavors. Maybe, maybe not... LOL.
