Don't blink: Bush, Kerry visiting California this week

SACRAMENTO - Pssst - did you hear the latest? President Bush and John Kerry are coming to California. Really. They are.
Both men will actually take a day or two this week away from the so-called battleground states and campaign in California - home to 36 million people, roughly one in seven Americans.
The two could cross paths in the Los Angeles area at the end of the week - Bush coming in for a fund raiser in Santa Monica, and Kerry for a stop on his "Believe in America" cross country tour...

Bush is Coming to LA: Emergency Protest
Thursday., August 12, 4 pm
Santa Monica Airport
Corner of 31st St. & Ocean Park Blvd
Santa Monica
On Thursday, August 12 President Bush will breeze into town to hold a "Presidential Gala" for his political base: "The haves and The have-mores" as he smirkingly calls them.

While Bush is partying with his cronies, Iraqis and U.S. soldiers will continue to die in a war and occupation fought for oil and the big money corporations. More and more, people here and all over the world are growing in their anger and disgust for the suffering caused by the Pentagon’s ruthlessness, Wall Street’s greed and Bush’s right wing agenda of racism, bigotry and cut backs here at home.
Let's take it to the streets on August 12 to Demand:

Bring the Troops Home Now!
U.S. Out of Iraq!
End the Occupation!
Stand Against Racism Here and Abroad!
Money for Jobs, Healthcare, Education, Welfare, Housing;
Not for War & Occupation!

WASHINGTON - President Bush's success in California depends on Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as governor, the chairman of the Bush-Cheney California campaign said Tuesday.
"Nothing is more important to us in the Bush campaign in California than Arnold Schwarzenegger's success. Nothing," campaign chairman Gerry Parsky said. "Because as he succeeds, we have the potential to complete the process that we are undertaking" of building Republican support in the nation's most populous state.
Independent analysts say Bush has scant chance of winning Democrat-leaning California Nov. 2, and Schwarzenegger has shown lukewarm interest in campaigning with the president, who is far less popular in California than he is.
However, Republican officials in California said Tuesday that Schwarzenegger plans to attend a GOP fund-raiser with Bush on Aug. 12 in a Santa Monica airport hanger. The event is being billed as the "California Presidential Gala," according to the invitation.
Schwarzenegger declined to appear publicly with Bush on the president's last trip to California. They did appear together in public in October 2003, before Schwarzenegger was sworn in as governor.
Parsky, who is also a San Diego investor and chairman of the University of California Board of Regents, told reporters at a media round-table in Washington that Schwarzenegger's election has made California friendlier territory for Republicans.
"The dynamic has changed totally with Schwarzenegger," Parsky said...
