On Friday, October 21st, the official unveiling of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library's "Air Force One Pavilion" was held in Simi Valley, California. Current president George W. Bush was in attendance, but the library was not open to the public, as is its custom 362 days per year. According to Santa Cruz IMC reporter Bradley, "(t)he closing of the library was a major inconvenience to all the people that wanted to take some time to tribute Ronald Reagan."

As Bradley drew closer to the library, he noticed about 40 people standing on the corner of Madera Road and Country Club Drive. Most of the people were holding signs calling for peace or denouncing Bush and his administration in one way or another. Bradley interviewed several members of Iraq Veterans Against the War.

Simi Valley is an incorporated city located in the extreme southeast corner of Ventura County, bordering the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. Simi Valley is one of the communities that has been contaminated by the Rocketdyne Santa Susana Field Laboratory Contamination, a disputed and controversial issue involving the contamination of the groundwater, air, workers, and nearby residents near Boeing's (Rocketdyne's) rocket and nuclear test facility known as the Santa Susana Field Labs (or SSFL) in Southern California between 1954 and 1989. Simi Valley is recognized as a very conservative area. Bradley was surprised to see that so many people had come together to call for peace and an end to the occupation of Iraq, and to denounce Bush's frivolous trip to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
