Here is aan e-mail that I just received:

Genvieve Peters (no relation), who I recruited for the LA bus tour team, is certifiably insane and brings new meaning to the phrase "earned media". Forget about the baloney delivery stunt, this one clearly takes the cake.

When David Pegos tried to stage a counter protest today at the Latino union rally with Nunez and Villaraigosa in Downtown LA I put him in touch with Genvieve. She showed up in her red Arnold t-shirt with her signs ALL ALONE. Instead of going home (which I would have told her to do if the lunatic had called me), she quietly made her way into the middle of the crowd and positioned herself in front of the podium.

When Villarogosa finished speaking, she spun around and waived her "YES on 74-77" signs for the cameras. The media converged on her. The union thugs converged on her.

As the media asked her why she was there, the thugs started hitting her over the head with their "no" signs, tearing up her signs and pouring water on her as she loudly proclaimed to the cameras that she was there because she used to be a teacher in an ESL class and she knows that the children of all these wonderful hardworking people deserve a better education and their unions are lying to them!!!

The media ate it up. She was interviewed by Channels 2 & 9 as well as by the Spanish media. The thugs kept complaining that she was stealing their news coverage. Luckily one very kind (and quite large) union member escorted her to her car - all the while flashing gang signs at his fellow union members warning them to back off. Thank God she's home safe and sound. I'm buying her dinner (right after I stop screaming at her for taking her life in her hands)!

The thugs kept complaining that she was stealing their news coverage.

That sounds like they think news coverage is property, and that she has no right to it.

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for the recap, I now remember the severity of the attack and the way it was spun.

How sad.

I remember at the time what you had done, just went in without a thought to your safety IIRC.

What an injustice and to see that people on a conservative forum would make it even worse the way they did is just horrid. You and Don should have been only supported, especially here.

With all the video and documentation, it sure shows you how corrupt and vile some people and systems are.

It's amazing the influence of the Union thugs and bosses on the authorities and others.

Apology and reparations, hard to get from those with no moral compass or character.

I along with many others still stand by you and Don and always will.
