The president is scheduled to land at the Los Angeles International Airport in Air Force One shortly before 1:00 p.m. He will then address a Conference on Faith-Based Initiatives at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

After Air Force One lands at Los Angeles International Airport, Bush is scheduled to greet Charlotte Van Fleet, a volunteer at the Harambee Christian Family Center in Pasadena.

The president is scheduled to attend a Bush-Cheney reception at 5:30 p.m. at the Shrine Exposition Center before leaving for a private Republican National Committee dinner.

Bush is expected to leave Los Angeles Thursday morning for Bakersfield and San Jose.

Impeach now

I couldn't make the demo at the Shrine that met the resident, but I did watch the "coverage" on the local news. According to the corporate news piggies, there were no protests at the Shrine.

One station reported on the handful of pathetic Bu$h supporters who showed up, and even interviewed one slob who moaned "Those people are traitors, those people with their anti-bush sign, they're traitors, they don't love america!" It was kind of odd since the station had not reported on any anti-Bush protestors... you didn't know what the slob was going on about.

Next station.... another Bu$hco love fest. Also interviewed one of the pro Bu$hco idiots wrapped in a flag. The man couldn't find enough words of praise to heap upon the resident.

Third station... groan. Same crap. The report ended with this remark: "There were also protestors against Bush gathered outside the Shrine." Oh really? Why were they there? What were they upset about? Haiti? Iraq? Lack of Jobs? NAFTA? You would never have known there were dissidents outside of the residents fund raiser.

Free Press? What a laugh. America's press is as tightly controlled and censored as the media was under STALIN'S SOVIET UNION.

...but I didn't see anything further about former President Clinton or her husband.

I was trying to watch too about the protest and all I saw was a snippet of the Pro-Bush supporters.

we at s/f Indy media have long been unable to speak out for fear of retaliation from

a few individuals who have come to power. we feel that the s/f indymedia has been diverted from its founding principals.

we have tried time and time again to address our grievances in a civilized manner but the ruling faction sees no need play by any rules but their own. we have participated in many,many meetings but to no avail, we even had out side mediation but could not resolve our issues. in fact it has made matters worse



List of actions by the sf.indymedia.org group that violates the

indymedia Principles of Unity



1. The sf.indymedia.org group has refused to put up a blurb and links

about the split as agreed to during mediation.



2. The sf.indymedia.org group has been repeatedly hiding and deleting

legitimate posts to their newswire by local activists whom they see as

being connected to indybay.org.



3. Immediately after the mediation was over, a member of

sf.indymedia.org withdrew half of the money from the imc checking

account, and then refused to negotiate the price for stickers and

t-shirts advertising the sf.indymedia.org web site address. According

to the agreement, the groups would split the money in the bank account

after sfbay was reimbursed for the mutually agreed upon price for the

stickers and t-shirts, and sf.indymedia was reimbursed for pieces of

equipment that sfbay wanted to purchase.



4. The sf.indymedia.org group has deleted the SF-IMC email list and the

Enemy Combatant Radio (ECR) email list without warning, before anyone

had the chance to back up three and a half years of work and contacts

contained in the lists' archives.



5. the money that paid for the mediation should be refunded to the

current members of indybay.org.



The end result of all of this is that a select few with positions of power,

and a personal vendetta within an IMC collective, and towards long time alternative media activists who did not submit to this control. Even on this web sight we cannot post our views with out subversive attacks from the indy nazi's



We want to stress that we believe this is an urgent, critical matter

that is in the interest of the entire Indymedia network.



we ask for help from the rest of the collective in restoring freedom of speech to the san francisco bay area







The San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center collective can be

contacted at sfbay at indymedia.org.
