Student Demonstration Time...

Prima Facie: News-Press and Santa Ynez Valley Journal anti-student stance is pathetic..
students, according to the News-Press, are not part of the political process because they are too stupid to know what the issues are; are attending college away from home which makes them visitors; somehow, they don't have the same rights as others who reside here..and on and on...all this is due to the fact the Steve Pappas lost the third district county supervisorial race to Dorreen Farr...Pappas was heavily financed by rich fat conservative Valley girl Nancy Crawford Hall..this is old news but it speaks to the delusions of the wealthy that somehow they can tie up the court system with frivolous lawsuits because they have the money....that they can buy elections and when they don't get their way, they throw big fat temper fits..and blame students...if I were a student, I would march on over to the News-Press with my fellow students and peacefully protest Wendy McCuckoo's cuckooness!! march around De La Guerra Plaza with signs saying: WENDY'S A DUMB CUCKOO!! or WENDY AND NANCY ARE BIRDBRAINS OF A FEATHER or something like that....that will snap them out of their little fantasy world and you students will let them know you won't be discriminated against by wealthy socialites who are fat and want to sit on you!! with each new editorial it is obvious
the real problem these folks have is not voter fraud, but students voting!!　
We know how Wendy got her money, not by work but by divorcing a wealthy guy; Nancy Crawford Hall got her money from her family. Back in the Bush era, she sold out to the National Parks Service: Nancy Crawford-Hall was once a co-owner of Santa Rosa Island, now called Channel Islands National Park. The island housed what she claimed was the "largest single-family-owned cattle operation in the western United States" for nearly 100 years, until "the powers-that-be and the government decided they would like to purchase the land."
Having already lost a land condemnation battle with federal land agencies over property they had owned in Santa Barbara County, the Crawford-Hall family reluctantly, she said, decided to sell their portion of the island, with the stipulation that their 6,000- to 10,000-head cattle operation could continue unhindered until 2011.
That allowance, however, was violated, she said.
"Somebody in the Park Service went to the national parks conservation organization and basically schemed," she said. "When it ended, they came up with ridiculous regulations. We had to take all the cattle off. There was no other place to put them. They went to sale."
The regulations imposed by the Park Service, she said, included so strict of fencing standards – reportedly to protect against soil erosion and destruction of an endangered bird nesting area – that the family was ultimately forced to abandon the island.
"We're gone," Crawford-Hall said. "They made it financially impossible to stay. That whole thing of the willing seller, I think it's a plain-out lie. They create circumstances to force you to sell."
Crawford-Hall, now a resident of Baldwin Hills in Santa Barbara County, said she is still embroiled in battles with the environmentalists and federal land agencies over oil fields she currently owns and operates and over 6,000 acres of the 10,000-acre cattle ranch she maintains in the vicinity of the Gaviota Coast study lines.
"I wish Bush would make it a bigger priority," she said, speaking to the issue of private land-ownership rights in general. "I think he's not doing enough. … And the way it is now, if they can't legislate you out, they'll terrorize you out."
As to why the average American dwelling outside a farming or cattle region should care of her plight, Crawford-Hall said that increased reliance on foreign markets would only weaken the U.S. national economy.
"We don't need to be dependent on some other country for our food and our clothing and our medicine," she said. "These all come from farming products … and every acre taken out of production means less food, less clothes, less medicine and more reliance on overseas providers."
The National Park Service does admit to some past instances of aggressive land-pursuit dealings, but such type of activity is now a thing of the past, one spokesperson said, and the Gaviota Coast study is being conducted in such a way not only to solicit but also earnestly consider landowner opinion.
"Certainly, there's a lot of information being spread around about horror stories that have happened in the past, and there are actions that the National Park Service has taken in the past that we wouldn't do today," said Martha Crusius, a planner within the agency's Pacific Great Basin Support Office in Oakland, Calif. "But there's a lot of jumping to conclusions (with the Gaviota study) … and assuming the worst.
"As to tactics to turn people into willing sellers," she continued, "I have never been aware of those tactics being used. We are a federal agency with constraints to purchase property, and that's awfully hard for people to understand."
so she and her family made a bad business decision and she blames students?? Obviously she's got a "beef" with the government that turned her cattle ranch into a private native-only garden, but if she had any brains, her portion of the Channel Islands would still be a private cattle ranch..she only has herself to blame..Wendy ,too...
