Stars Love Kerry!
Written by: Joyce Faulkner
Two Star-studded Concerts Planned to Raise Mondy for Kerry Presidential Bid.
Presumptive Democratic candidate for President John Kerry is finding support in the artistic communities on both coasts. His good friend Jann Wenner, editor and publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine, will executive produce two major fund-raising events -- one in Los Angeles and one in New York. Some of the entertainment business’ biggest stars are stepping forward to lend their names and talents to the effort. Kerry will speak at both galas.
In Los Angeles, Wenner’s co-producers are Marty Erlichman, Barbra Streisand’s manager; Harvey Weinstein, co-chair of Miramax; and Ken Erlich, special events producer. Rhea Pearlman and Danny DeVito, Laurie and Larry David, Warren Beatty and Annette Benning, Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen, Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Rita Wilson have agreed to serve on the host committee. The event will feature performances by Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson and Billie Crystal.
In New York, Wenner and Weinstein will be joined by John Sykes, chairman and CEO of Infinity Broadcasting System. The stellar host committee includes Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Richard Gere, Jessica Lange and Uma Thurman. The show will star Bette Midler, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg.
Wenner acknowledges that this is an ambitious project. “The artist community is united on this because of the kinds of values that the artist community shares and feels deeply are very threatened by the current administration,” he said. Although that is sufficient reason to bring out many of these stars, Kerry has long been a friend of the arts.
"FIGHT (ACLU) RATHER THAN SWITCH" RALLY
Protesting the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors not willing to FIGHT the ACLU.
WHO: EVERYONE who is against removing the Cross from the Seal. (Soon the ACLU is coming for your cross, star, crescent, etc.)
WHEN: Monday, June 7, 2004. 5:00 p.m
Tuesday, June 8, 2004 7:00 a.m. until the Board votes.
WHERE: Corner of Temple and Grand Downtown Los Angeles in front of the Hall of Administration.
WHAT: Bring signs protesting the ACLU's demand to remove the cross and the RECALL of Burke, Molina, and Yaroslavsky.

NOTE: No poles, brooms or large pieces of lumber. Slats measuring 1 1/2" wide by 1/4" thick may be used. No restrictions on length.
I'm surprised at Neil Diamond. I remember him performing for Ronald Reagan at the White House for a Christmas program. But that was back when preforming for a Pres. was an honor and not a partisan thing.
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."
By harnessing the power of the Internet, the Free Republic Forum (FreeRepublic.com) gave birth to a new level of grassroots activism that demonstrates how dedicated citizens can effect change by awakening and mobilizing the vast numbers of Americans who still support the rule of law. The Free Republic Network (FreeRepublic.net) organizes, educates, and supports grassroots activists and connects national organizations with grassroots groups and activists across the country that share their common goals and beliefs.
For more information, contact Ron Smith at (310) 416-9155 or ronsmith@quixnet.net

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:

From Yahoo! MAPS:
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!"
