  • While Save Our State and the Minutemen have seemingly been enjoying an upswing in momentum lately certain factors have become apparent that may point to a change. Following the July 8th police beatings of anti-Minutemen protestors and the subsequent giddy elation displayed by the Minutemen and SOS in the face of such violence, certain factors have come into play which highlight the authoritarian nature of Save Our State and the fact that some of the rank-and-file may get burned by the leadership very soon.

    LOS ANGELES, August 3, 2006 – The Los Angeles City Council has ruled to place new restrictions on the public’s ability to address the council during public meetings. The move is seen as a backlash against activists who regularly address the council at council meetings. The new restrictions will allow the council to remove speakers from the hearing based on subjective “rules of decorum” as determined by the council. The council has also cut the speakers time in half from two minutes to one minute. Members of the public are now forbidden from addressing their councilperson directly and their remarks now must be addressed to the council as a whole.

    The restrictions are seen as an effort by the council to limit debate on issues they do not want to address. Free speech and public assembly rights activists from Venice Beach, The South Central Farmers and communities around the city fighting unwanted development in their neighborhood are the presumed targets of these new restrictions.

  • COSTA MESA, CALIF -- It was a perfect Sunday afternoon for a barbecue in Fairview Park. Not a cloud was in the sky and a cool ocean breeze blew off most of the muggy heat that Californians have endured lately.

    Gilchrist Angels, a group co-founded by wealthy Laguna Beach "Minutewoman" Eileen Garcia, was holding a fundraiser for Costa Mesa mayor and honorary "Minuteman Project" member Allan Mansoor, who is seeking re-election this November. ...

    BAKERSFIELD, July 31, 2006 – A group of activists in Bakersfield staged a protest outside and inside a meeting of the right wing hate group, the Pacific Justice Institute, to call attention to the group’s religious extremism, homophobia and intolerance toward the reproductive rights of women. Activists were able to rush the stage inside the hall and disrupt the event. The action was captured by TV news crews and aired on local TV news stations.
