Join Thousands of Teachers, Students, Parents, Nurses, Firefighters, and Community Groups for Action Day Mass Rally to Stop Governor Schwazenegger on Wednesday, May 25 in Pershing Square

WHAT: The Los Angeles rally is timed to coincide with another huge rally at the Capitol in Sacramento protests Governor Schwazenegger's broken promises tp to schools, his attacks on working people and his special election petition campaign that would waste millon.

There will be a special tribute to labor leader Miguel Contreras, who past away earlier this month.

WHEN: Wednesday, May 25 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

WHERE: Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles (6th and Olive St.)

PARKING: Free at Dodger Stadium and take a shuttle, or take the Red Line to Pershing Square.

WHO: Thousands of teachers, students, parents, nurses, firefighters, other public employees, and community groups, will be converging to show the governor and the people of California that his ''special interests'' are not California's interests.

WHY: Action Day is to focus public attention on the damage—if Governor Arnold Schwazenegger's ill-conceived and dangerous proposals become law—to public education, to the programs provided to the people of California by state government, and to the retirement security of all public employees.The governor's ballot initiatives represent attacks on teachers, nurses, firefighters, police, and other public employees. Ultimately that means these are attacks on the people of California.

The governor's half-baked schemes are meant to divert attention from his broken promise to public education. In January of last year he promised the education community he would pay back the billion he borrowed from public education in order to bridge the state budget gap. Instead, he is waging war on educators and health care providers and public safety workers, seeking to blame them for his leadership failures.

The Gropenfuhrer stole money from our kids, those of us who have kids in school. And he had no intention of paying or giving it back.

Typical Republicanism.

It's no coincidencve that this fascist regime assaults education. An ignorant populace is a Republican-voting populace. An ignorant populace is a populace that can't compete in a world wide marketplace in all the high technology futures that the rest of the world will be -- and are right now -- participating successfully in.

It';s no coincidence that this fascist regime denies stem cell research and a woman's right to decide what happens to her own body.

An ignorant, badly fed, massive pool of cheap labor is exactly what Republinazis want.

And the health and safety of the American people?

These Republinazis don't give a damn about what an ignorant, uneducated, superstitious populace means for the health and safety of America itself. So long as there's plenty of cheap slave-wage labor for Republican corporations to abuse, Republinazis are happy. They get their millions or billions off the backs of the very ignorant populace they created so they're happy.

God damn Republicanism and everything it stands for.

This makes sense, doesn't it? He was a bodybuilder. That's not a real sport. Basketball is a real sport. Tennis is a real sport. Even golf is a real sport. Not bodybuilding.

So, you get all the "dumb jock" attitude, without any of the humility.

His daddy was mean to him too. Made fun of him when he wasn't SS material. Mean dad = mean child. It turned into a will to power.

I can't wait to see the Phil Angelides campaign. I almost feel obligated to support his campaign, because he's a math whiz. (I voted for Camejo, partly, because he was a successful fund manager. You gotta like anti-capitalists who know finance.)

It is definitely time for teachers to be heard! With all the demands about testing, scores, money and violence we need to take to heart what this rally stands for. I can't wait to be a part of this awesome movement....after 30 years of teaching too!!
