HELP ENFORCE BOYCOTT OF RESTAURANT OWNED BY COSTA MESA
CITY COUNCILMAN!

COSTA MESA, CA -- The Collectivo Tonantzin, an
organization dedicated toward defending the rights of
undocumented workers and all oppressed peoples, will
be holding a weekly protest starting this Friday night
on the public sidewalk surrounding Skosh Monahan's
Steakhouse & Irish Pub, a restaurant owned by Gary
Monahan, a Costa Mesa City Councilman.

The weekly protests are being held to express
discontent over Monahan's decision to vote with Mayor
Allan Mansoor and Councilman Eric Bever to close the
day laborer center and allow the Costa Mesa Police
Department to enter into an agreement with the Bureau
of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to
enforce federal immigration law.

The last two times this protest has taken place, a
number of Minuteman supporters have shown up to
support Mayor Mansoor. However, their presence has
scared customers away from Monahan's restaurant,
causing a drastic slowdown in business. And even
though the protests are nonviolent, Monahan hires
expensive security guards to protect his property.

Despite public statements to the contrary, these
protests have hit Monahan where it hurts him the
hardest: right in his wallet. Everytime we've
demonstrated outside his restaurant, he loses money
and business. And Friday nights are his busiest,
according to various sources.

SO IF YOU ARE IN SOLIDARITY WITH THIS STRUGGLE FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE, PLEASE JOIN US EVERY
WEEK STARTING THIS FRIDAY NIGHT! BRING CARDBOARD
SIGNS, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, AND WEAR T-SHIRTS AND HATS
REPRESENTING THE GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS YOU BELONG
TOO!

WHEN: Friday, February 24, 2006
5 pm - 9 pm

WHERE: SKOSH MONAHAN'S STEAKHOUSE
& IRISH PUB
2000 Newport Blvd, Costa Mesa
(On the Northeast corner of
E. 20th Street)

I went to a few counter protests at Skosh Monahan's

About ten Tonatizin Collective were there protesting. And Minutemen and other supporters of Councilman Monahan were there. I ate a nice dinner, and rarely heard any interruptions form outside. The business was crowded, with the regulars, and a few of the rotational patrons.The parking lot was full and the surrounding area was filled. I don't see any impact on the business. Perhaps the Minutemen and supporters could stay at home. CM police are good about keeping the area safe.

Do any of the people who read this site have enough class to eat at a place like this anyway?

What's the point of boycotting a place you'd never eat at anyway?

Duane, what planet are you on?
He makes more money by you goons who help promote his business!!!
No one was scared away, in fact the customers supported The Minutemen and NOT the open border pro ILLEGAL immigrant crowd like you, John Earl and your marching goons!!!
When will you ever speak the truth?

Boycotts don't work. They never work -- any capitulation is always the result of unrelated factors, never a proposed boycott.

Pickets and protests do work.

I've eaten there. The food sucked. The service sucked. The clientle where smelly. Not worth your time or money.

go in and order a Pepsi. Read the newspaper or a book. They'll loose money if the regulars walk into a "crowded" place and leave.

It didn't taste so swell and on the way home I felt a little dizzy. I barfed all over my driveway. I won't eat there again.

...after occupying the place, tip the waitstaff. It's not THEIR fault that their boss is a racist punk!!!!

Why cut the employee any breaks when they choose to work for a racist scumbag.

"Why cut the employee any breaks when they choose to work for a racist scumbag."

we wouldn't want the unwitting workers getting "caught in the crossfire"
we want this jerk to STOP supporting the MM-Nazis.
hurting the workers at this place will NOT stop the MM-Nazis
