Join Global Exchange and a coalition of groups for clean, affordable, energy for a spirited protest as George Bush visits Camp Pendleton.

Help make this protest! Show up, bring signs and props, wear costumes etc...
Ideas for the protest include:
*The "Ratebusters" (last week members of Global Exchange dressed as "Ratebusters", a la the 1980's movie Ghostbusters, and received great press at the PUC meeting in San Francisco) We can sing revised verses to the "Ghostbustes" theme song.
*It would be great to find a few people who could be on stilts, dressed as electric transmitter towers wearing "energy rate caps" caps.
*People wearing pig masks with the names of the energy generators and GWBush masks.
* We would like people to bring lots of caps with "Ratebusters - Rate Caps" written on them. We're also looking for more great ideas.
We are coordinating actions at Camp Pendleton, in Los Angeles, and in Fresno- everywhere Bush will be making stops on his California visit.
