Looks like it may be time for me to once again gird myself for action! Not sure if I'll be able to make it, but I will try.
Anyone have a good route from the West Valley (Woodland Hills) to Downtown that would take less than an hour?
Your thoughts all appreciated.

Hose Nose and Lurch should be a good show to miss.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Conservatives to protest "Stars for Kerry" concert in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - Members of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Free Republic Network (also known as the "Hollywood Resistance Force") plan to join other local supporters of President Bush on MONDAY, June 7 at 6 p.m., as they protest the appearance of Barbra Streisand, Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal and Neil Diamond at a million-dollar fundraiser for John Kerry at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.Carrying large signs that say "OUR GOVERNOR can beat up YOUR CANDIDATE!" and "Only FOREIGN LEADERS (and Hollywood "Has Beens") like John Kerry," they intend to challenge the conventional wisdom that California is a "lost cause" for President Bush this fall.
"We support President Bush," says L.A. FRN Chapter Vice President Ron Smith, "and we believe that Governor Schwarzenegger's proven ability to energize Californians to recall Gray Davis last year will insure that we also 'terminate' John Kerry this year."

Kerry lauds Reagan to high school students, cancels campaign events through Friday
NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
(06-06) 12:38 PDT TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) --
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry lauded Ronald Reagan's legacy of bipartisanship Sunday and canceled five days of campaign events in honor of the former president's death.
"Yesterday, we lost one of our great optimists," Kerry told graduating seniors at Bedford High School. "President Reagan's belief in America was infectious. And because of the way he led, he taught us that there was a difference between strong beliefs and bitter partisanship."
Kerry's campaign said it was canceling all public events through Friday...
...including star-studded fund-raising concerts scheduled for Monday in Los Angeles and Thursday in New York...-- snip --Here is another SHORT EXCEPT form that article:
So, it appears that our Kerry/Streisand FReep has been postponed.Kerry canceled the week's campaign trips to Colorado, California, Arizona and New York, but will travel to Los Angeles Tuesday and Wednesday to attend daughter Alexandra's graduation from the American Film Institute and a screening of her 15-minute film, "The Last Full Measure." He plans to spend of the rest of the week in Washington, where Reagan's body was being flown on Wednesday.
Kerry and the Democratic National Committee were canceling joint fund-raising concerts that were to feature Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Bette Midler, Jon Bon Jovi, John Mellencamp and others. Tickets cost as much as $1,000. New dates will be announced when the concerts are rescheduled, Kerry's campaign said in a statement...
Unless anyone want to see his daughter's new graduation dress. :o)CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
If you have an L.A. City library card, you can park at the Central Library three blocks away. If you park after 3pm it's $1. However, you need to be out by 8pm. And, you need to go to the information desk inside the library and get a stamp.
Kerry has apparently suspended campaign activities temporarily, and the event is off:

Here is a ROUGH DRAFT of our proposed press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 21, 2004Schwarzenegger Supporters to Confront John Kerry
at Streisand fundraiser (6/24)
Los Angeles -
Members of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Free Republic Network (also known as the "Hollywood Resistance Force") plan to join other local supporters of President George Bush and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on THURSDAY, June 24 at 6 p.m., as they protest Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Billy Crystal and Willie Nelson outside a "ten thousand dollar per couple" fundraiser for John Kerry at the Walt Disney Concert Hall--which was originally scheduled for the week after President Reagan died.
Carrying large signs that say "OUR GOVERNOR can beat up YOUR CANDIDATE!" and "Reagan was The GIPPER, but Kerry is The FLIPPER!" they intend to contrast Kerry's irritating tendency to "flip flop" his positions on important national issues with Schwarzenegger's "tough guy" persona crafted from his roles in action-adventure movies like the "Terminator." "We support President Bush," says L.A. FRN Chapter Vice President Ron Smith. "And, we believe that Governor Schwarzenegger shares President Reagan's gift for energizing Californians with a clear vision that will help President Bush 'terminate' Kerry's political aspirations."
"If America had listened to John Kerry," he continues, "Saddam Hussein would still be in KUWAIT right now, rather than being in CAPTIVITY. Kerry even voted against the FIRST Gulf War." Carrying a sign that says "Only 'FOREIGN' Leaders (like SADDAM) like John Kerry!" and wearing a rubber Saddam mask, Smith adds, "These 'Stars for Kerry' may have MUSICAL talent, but POLITICALLY, they are dangerously naive. Unlike Streisand, Schwarzenegger (like Reagan before him) has had the courage to subject HIS political opinions to vigorous public debate--at the ballot box, not just at the box office." In the words of nationally-syndicated talk radio host Laura Ingraham's recent book, those who support Governor Schwarzenegger and President Bush believe that these misguided "Stars for Kerry" should just "Shut Up, and SING!"
