Be one of 10,000 to write a letter inviting President Obama to Cal
The ASUC Speaker Series in the ASUC Office of the President, headed by Simone Lang, began discussions in the beginning of the school year to invite U.S. President Obama to come to UC Berkeley.
"We are inviting him specifically in order to address the state of public education," says Lang.
Students are encouraged to write whatever they want, whether it is referencing in their invitation letter the night of the US Presidential election, budget cuts and how they are affecting students, or disagreeing with his politics. There are no form letters as the campaign organizers want each letter to be personal. Rather, they provide students with blank sheets of paper, pens and markers.
The campaign is modeled off of a similar campaign last year by UC Merced to invite Michelle Obama to their campus, which ended successfully.
Students are able to drop off letters in the boxes on Sproul Plaza (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), on the 2nd floor of Eshleman Hall, and at North Gate soon, where they will be tabling Monday through Friday, until students are out of school for finals. Also, the campaign staff will be attending club meetings and tabling at various events on campus to get more letters.
Interested individuals should email ucbspeakers@berkeley.edu, or can find more information on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=174234475939&ref=ts.
