Over 5,000 Protest Schwarzenegger in San Francisco

by Bill Hackwell (hckwll [at] yahoo.com)
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had to slip into the Ritz Carlton in the early afternoon to avoid the rath of thousands of protesters for a fundraiser with the richest of the rich. It was expected that Schwarzenegger would raise over $100,000 to finance his reactionary special election.

Nurses, firefighters, educators and community activists combined forces to take over the Pine Street entrance to the event, making attending the fundraiser a miserable experience for the corporate elite.

The union goons and the ANSWER crowd. It doesn't get better than this. Thanks. We'll be sure to use these photos in November. Worth their weight in gold at the voting booth.

He's going to be stopped at every turn--there are everyday
concerned consumers out there too outraged at Arnie's actions. I am one of them and I was there.

Thankfully these protests are raising awareness at just how shitty Arnold has been as Gov.
For someone who castigated Gray Davis for his fundraising while in office, Arnold the Pig has actually exceeded Davis' fundraising monies. Fucking Impressive!!!
