Students Protest Maria Shriver
Just letting folks know that Watsonville students protested Maria Schriver's visit at the Watsonville Farmer's Market today (Friday, July 21, 2006). It was totally cut short and she only stayed for about 25 minutes as a result of the protest (left at 4:35pm).
Please pass to interested citizens...

The students in Watsonville protested the Governor's positions on rescinding driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants (thousands would have benefited in Watsonville), his support for anti-immigrant groups like the Minutemen, cutting money for public schools and for attacking union workers and their families with Proposition 75 last year.
The protest was peaceful, the students were courageous, and they wanted to let Schriver know that Watsonville was not her photo op. They said they did not forget when Arnold supported Proposition 187 in 1994, the very anti-immigrant measure that would have denied services to immigrants and would have required teachers to report undocumented children to the INS.
Although there were a few individuals upset at their protest, there were many more who applauded and whistled for the students when they showed up.
