SACRAMENTO - President Bush plans a long California weekend of politicking, pitching policy and R&R later this month, a low-key visit that has even some longtime aides scratching their heads.
Picking up campaign cash is a fixture of presidential trips to California. Bush will attend at least one and possibly two fundraisers, the first at a country club in Palm Springs on April 22.

Probably should stay away. Never know what might happen. Could be dangerous. Agents are armed. Only the really stupid violate the known rules. Are you that stupid, Medea? Cindy? Thought not. You'll stay away because you know better. Yes, you do.
The above pictures are extremely offensive...
...to chimpanzees.
Hopefully there will be a huge show of opposition to Bushs War on the Middle East. What would the rest of the world think if California didn't take this oppurtunity to come forth and voice opposition to this racist mass-murderer?

Here's a little something re: Bush's flip flops (for those who may think he "sticks to his guns") and for those naive enough to think there's anything good about this human refuse called Bush:

I think that we should do exactly the opposite of what that last guy said, and show up! Let's not be intimidate by the armed agents and tell that loser to take a hike!
Bush, being semiliterate, probably has no idea San Jose's so close to SF, or he'd never dare show his face here! He's going down fast, along with his whole crime family. Bye Bye Bushies! I predict hundreds will show up to tell him "Go retire to Crawford, you're finished." Who can resist this opportunity?! Who knows when he'll be back?
See you in San Jose! Or go to Sacramento. Make some noise for peace!

police are violent in santa clara county. profiling abuse even assaults. tackled / crushed innocent minority man.
Noise is not enough. The pep rally's over. It's time to stop cheering and start playing ball.
Gimme a break with the chimpanzee picture comparisons already. These chimpanzees are peaceful primates struggling to survive the combined attacks of rainforest devastation from multinational logging corporations, poaching for animal research facilites so pharmaceutical corporations can release more consumer crap on the market, etc..
The chimps in the photographs certainly are more intelligent, compassionate and resourceful that GW Bush/Cheney and his cabal of imperialist oil tycoons. Have you ever witnessed chimpanzees ordering other chimpanzees to kill one another with nuclear weapons? Chimps may engage in some roughhousing, but they don't leave entire nations as nuclear waste dumps in the process. Seriously, comparing self centered, greedy, egotistical, deceitful and murderous human beings like GW Bush to innocent chimpanzees is not only offensive, it is also inaccurate..
Now that we got that out of the way (until the next time those pix appear on imc), i would suggest as many people attend the Bush protest in West Sac as possible. Just don't bring too many items as the Secret Service tore my backpack up (beyond repair) at an earlier protest after just a few minutes of setting it down and walking away to talk with someone..
Safety of your personal physical body is an important concern. Usually injuries from police attacks can be prevented or lessened by taking some simple precautions. Bring bandanas (or other face mask) soaked in vinegar, chemistry safety goggles and full layered clothing (try not to leave skin exposed) in case the fascist police get aggressive with the protesters, it is a likely possibility. Padding your clothes with newspaper can prevent bruising, and bicycle helmets can protect your head from batons. Prepare for the worst case scenario and hope for the best..

Why would anyone still refer to the Chickenhawk-in-Chief as the "_resident"? The Crawford Coward is proven to have stolen the 2000 election, and even the '04 "mandate" is either A)fraudulent(the Ohio voter irregularities have never been independently investigated), or B)even assuming the razor-thin 1/2% 'majority' was legit, his current 'approval' ratings have now tanked to below 38% in ALL of the national polls, including the FOX propaganda channel!
So the Village Idiot should no longer be accorded the title of the highest office of the land. Instead, the labels that we should ever use for the Lyzing Pretzel should be only chosen from the following list of more appropriate titles:
1) WHO(White House Occupier)
2) CCC(Chickenhawk Coward from Crawford)
3) POTUS 43(Pretzeldent of the U.S. #43)
4) C of C.O.W.(Chief of Coalition of Oilers & Warmongers)
Send this list to all your friends & allies, AND also to all your hometown newspapers.

"Bush to visit Yolo County
By Sharon Stello/Enterprise staff writer
President Bush will visit the California Fuel Cell Partnership in West Sacramento on Saturday, April 22, as part of a whirlwind three-day trip to California.
White House spokesman Alex Conant said Bush will arrive in San Jose next Friday, where he will participate in a panel discussion on the American Competitiveness Initiative, a strategy that would increase federal funding in critical research areas to encourage innovation and strengthen the nation’s ability to compete in the global economy.
The president announced this initiative in his State of the Union address in January.
Bush will spend Friday night in St. Helena and, the next day, he will travel to West Sacramento to participate in a tour of the Fuel Cell Partnership and make remarks on advanced transportation technology. No further details were available today about this portion of his trip.
Later Saturday, Bush is off to a fund-raising reception for the Republican National Committee in Palm Springs, spending Saturday night in Rancho Mirage.
On Sunday, after attending church, the president will have lunch with Navy and Marine Corps families, attend a Marine Corps training exercise in Twentynine Palms and spend a second night in Rancho Mirage.
His trip marks the first time a sitting president has visited Yolo County since former President Bill Clinton came to the area. In November 1997, Clinton spoke at the dedication of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, just outside Davis. In November 2002, Clinton came to UC Davis to give a talk at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.
Chris White, spokeswoman for the California Fuel Cell Partnership, declined to comment about Bush’s upcoming visit, referring all questions to the White House press office.
The partnership is a collaborative of auto manufacturers, energy companies, fuel cell technology companies and government agencies working together to advance a new vehicle technology that’s better for the environment, but at the same time practical and affordable. The goal is to increase energy efficiency, and reduce or eliminate air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
A representative from the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies said today the agency is a part of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, but there are no plans yet for university involvement with the president’s visit.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hopes to talk with the president while he’s in the region although no meeting has been scheduled yet, Margita Thompson, a spokeswoman in the governor’s office, said this morning.
“The governor is pleased that the president is coming out to California and he looks forward to talking with him about the issues that are critical to California,” Thompson said.
She said the governor would like to bring attention to the state’s need for federal assistance with improving levees. This includes not only monetary help but expediting the permit process to allow the state to quickly begin work to shore up the levees.
“The continuous rain is certainly a constant reminder of the urgency of our levees,” Thompson said.
She added that the issue of immigration could also come up if the governor meets with the president. She said Schwarzenegger is pleased that Congress is talking about immigration and hopes legislators will continue working on the issue.
Thomson said the governor believes “a balanced approach” is needed and that enforcing the country’s borders for safety reasons should be a primary focus, but he also supports a guest worker program.

We demand action to make alternative energy available to everyone, not just more nonsense talking from the Petroleum Puppetmaster..
