One at 20th & Pico, organized by a collation of local Santa Monica groups.
A second by ANSWER on 17th & Pico.
The third by hundreds of students inside the stadium who succeeded in drowning out the man they did choose and did not want for their commencement address.
And of course CodePink with a three story high banner drop from the parking structure overlooking the stadium.

All of these protests were good spirited and well attended. No arrests have been reported.

Arnold bought & sold - how do you think he became gov in the first place ?

although i have a hunch about who those two elderly men in corporate attire are, would you please tell me their names?

gracias

I don't remember who the other one is - but they are the real source of our problems, Arnold is merely a puppet - to distract us

I'll look into it and post if I find more info (this pic is from a while back before he became gov when people were arguing that he wouldn't/couldn't this pic was posted as proof he would since they are really in control - elections are only for show)

As soon as I saw this pic I knew he would...

Check out this AP story, archived on an Arnold Schwartzenegger fan website, which documents Arnold's and Buffet's 2002 meeting in the Rothschild ancestral home.

ARNOLD & BUFFETT's LOADED ELEPHANT GUN?
Buffett's Back, with the Terminator!
Reported By: Reuters
Tuesday, September 24, 2002

WADDESDON MANOR, England (Reuters) - The world's second-richest man dropped into the English countryside with the Terminator at his side on Monday, a day after warning the UK's corporate big game his elephant gun was loaded.

Billionaire Warren Buffett and mean machine Arnold Schwarzenegger touched down by helicopter on the immaculate lawns of Waddesdon manor, a Renaissance-style chateau in the undulating hills of Buckinghamshire.

Buffett, 72, is guest of honor at a closed two-day meeting of some of the world's most powerful businessmen and financiers -- the ultimate networking opportunity.

The get-together in the ancestral home of the Rothschild banking family will discuss economic and political issues, the organizers said. But Buffett's remark, made in a weekend newspaper interview, that he is looking for a "big deal" in Britain has stolen the agenda.

"We are hunting the elephant... We have got an elephant gun and it's loaded," Buffett told the Sunday Telegraph.

Among those invited to Waddesdon Manor were the likes of James Wolfensohn, president of the World Bank, Jorma Ollila, chief executive of Nokia and De Beers chairman Nicky Oppenheimer.

Schwarzenegger was on the guestlist as a celebrity customer of the conference sponsor NetJets Inc, a private jets business owned by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc..

This year's stock market carnage is made for Buffett, the billionaire Oracle of Omaha, Nebraska. A godsend for firms who need cash quickly, he has more than $7 billion in cash on hand, and can set-up iron-clad deals in a day. His philosophy is simple: "Work out how much it will pay out from now until Judgement Day, then discount it back and buy it cheaper," he told shareholders at his annual meeting in May, when asked for the secret of his success.

A procession of black cars with darkened windows swept up the drive of the 120-year-old English country house amid tight but discreet security.

A group of photographers captured the moment when Buffett and Schwarzenegger, resplendent in steel-tipped cowboy boots, stepped onto Waddesdon's freshly cut lawn to be greeted by Lord Jacob Rothschild.

"It's very nice of you to host this," Schwarzenegger said.

For the UK company in Buffett's sights, it may well be hasta la vista, baby.

Well, er, Buffett, Rothchild and I all happen to be bird watchers and we had heard that a yellow-bellied sapsucker had been seen in the vicinity; that's why we met on the green. During our entirely coincidental meeting we merely chatted about how we can make life better for all Californians, and especially the poor and downtrodden.

thank you so much! it's time to put these guys back on blast!

in solidarity,

Also here are some photos that I took: This one was great!  On the march over there, this woman was on her balcony, bashing her railing with a 2x4 and yelling!  She was SO into it!  She was doing some serious venting! http://home.earthlink.net/~deanoelcamino/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/venting.jpg Here's where we crossed Pico at 20th Street.  You can see there are quite a few people.  We were near the end. http://home.earthlink.net/~deanoelcamino/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/protest1.jpg The parking lot at the campus with Billionaires for Bush performing: http://home.earthlink.net/~deanoelcamino/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/protest2.jpg People behind me crossing Pico: http://home.earthlink.net/~deanoelcamino/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/protest3.jpg These women were waiting when we arrived, along with MANY others.  As you can see they're a bunch of radical nut-jobs (not).  :) http://home.earthlink.net/~deanoelcamino/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/protest4.jpg

This is a photo of the protest which took place a few yards away from the comencement ceremonony where the Governor tried to deliver his speech.
