Hi again Ron,
It's too bad we didn't get much coverage in the L.A. Times.
There was a cluster of 3 community college faculty (myself included) who spoke with the L.A. Times reporter, the Asian guy, AT LENGTH - for at least 20 mins. We carefully itemized in a detailed fashion a very long "laundry list" of complaints about fiscal abuses and tenure-related problems with CA Education, esp. at community colleges like SMC. We explained pretty exhaustively WHY the Governor's reforms are so critical, at this time. We gave him some good quotes and even HE admitted they were "good ones." So we were REALLY HOPING the Times would at least MENTION the reasons WHY we were there, supporting Arnold: We aren't just following "Arnold the Movie Star" around, like a bunch of idiot Michael Jackson fanatics - we believe EDUCATION REFORMS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!
The LA Times pooped out on us -- and pooped out on Free Republic since (when numerous reporters asked, "How did you find out about this rally?") most said they "saw it mentioned on Free Republic.com."
So, we expected to "get some ink" for FR as well.
Anyway, thanks for a great event. Hey, I still owe you a dollar for those quarters for my parkingh meter! I will donate it to FR... if it's OK with you! :)
