Protests aimed against Vice President Cheney's visit today (SoCal)

Vice President Dick Cheney will drop in today at Camp Pendleton for a visit with servicemen and women before speaking at a fundraiser for Republican Congressman Ken Calvert in San Clemente.

"The vice president will attend a briefing with military officials at Camp Pendleton," said the Office of the Vice President. He will not be making any remarks to the media during the visit.

Democrats, meanwhile, are planning a protest march in San Clemente, where later in the day Cheney will help raise money for Calvert, R-Corona, who is running for re-election in November.

While the Office of the Vice President on Tuesday would only say that the location for the fundraiser is a private San Clemente residence, the event is reportedly being held at Casa Pacifica, also known as President Nixon's "Western White House."

...

"You can tell Dick Cheney that California coast is not for sale," Melahat Rafiei, executive director of the Democratic Party of Orange County, said in an e-mail urging protesters to march from the Trestles beach parking lot to Casa Pacifica at 3 p.m.

Cheney is expected to speak at the Calvert reception at 5:30 p.m.

Must be nice to not have a job! They protest the sun coming up.

If you like $4/gal, Thank Congress. If you want $10, Vote No Oilbama.

Pray for W and Cheney

Had a cousin that surfed back in the 70s, took me a couple times to the San Onofre/Trestles state beach there, I spent a few weeks in San Onofre and in the boonies in Pendleton but never got to frolic on the beach.

Nice to see Dick visiting the area.
