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!"
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, please contact Ron Smith at (310) 416-9155 or ronsmith@quixnet.net

SHOE: Can be cut out of foam or heavy cardboard (foam is best). SHOE STRAPS: Can be cut out of heavy weight, durable plastic or paper and look great if they are one color, or two colors (example at left). MASK: Best if printed on heavy weight index paper. It will take one - 8.5"x14" sheet or two - 8.5"x11" sheets (taped/glued together at the hairline works well). You will also need 1/4" thick elastic for a head band to keep the mask on. Of course, some folks like to staple it to a flat stick and use it as a masquerade ball mask, sans shoe -- quelle france, nez pais?

Not sure yet how the Clinton FReep on Saturday will develop, but this KERRY/STREISAND FReep on THURSDAY night has the potential to be HUGE!As I posted previously, Kerry is VERY vulnerable to the kind of attack by HUMOR already underway - all across the USA:

Reporter's Notebook
By Gregory Korte and Cindi Andrews
The Cincinnati Enquirer
John Kerry had seen the tactic before - it emerged on the campaign trail last week - but few others seemed to understand what was going on.-- snip --Young Republicans wearing cheap sandals got in the front row and started clapping them together almost as soon as the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Sawyer Point on Tuesday.
Their message: that Kerry has flip-flopped on the issues...

Pathetic Kerry Condemns "Rude" GOP Protestors April 7, 2004
-- snip --
Kerry's playbook is so old and he is so dishonest, it can be infuriating. But there's a simple way to listen to liberals without tearing your hair out, and that is this: everything liberals accuse Bush of, is what they do themselves. So when Kerry talks about the politics of lying, he's telling us what Democrats do. He's identifying his own tactics. As an example, consider Kerry's freak-out at a group of protestors waving flip-flop sandals at Kerry's Cincinnati speech.
As you can hear in the audio link below, this man who protested the Vietnam War and whose party has defined patriotism as requiring dissent, grumbled, "Obviously some young Republicans proving that they are very rude and they have no manners." Oh, the power, my friends! I am paralyzed here with how impressed I am by his retort. Why, what a way to shut them down! Not only calling them "rude" but "very rude!" This is so pathetic!

Our very good FRiends at ChronWatch have just linked to THIS THREAD on their home page!Thanks, Jim!
One of the BEST ways to get discovered by the "Googlebots" (besides posting something here on Free Republic) is to get posted on ChronWatch!
Me, too. Thanks for 'reviewing' the Kerry Flip Flop costume. And RonDog, thanks for doing the full page post on this thread for others to see/use. Maybe I'll post it on it's own thread later. Meanwhile, I'm toying around with a Bill Clinton one... for The Summer of '42. [barf barf barf]
Thanks for the link and the graphic. My son is good at artwork, but he isn't here right now. I don't know if he could do that freehand. It would make a dandy tee shirt though.
I am concerned on where to park, though. I'm not familiar with that neck of the woods. Disney Concert Hall is ugly. Did the same guy who designed that, also design Roger Cardinal Mahoney's "bus station"?

I propose that we meet at the corner of First and Grand - no later than 6 p.m.
I will (of course) arrive early, to check in with the Secret Service, and local authorities.
I am concerned on where to park, though.The "big money" RATs and the "stars" will probably all be parking...I'm not familiar with that neck of the woods...
...on the NORTH side of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.So, perhaps we should consider parking on the SOUTH side.
