Found this announcement on bayareapatriots.com.
The Obama Protest is on and is scheduled for May 25th from 3:00 until 6:00 PM at the Fairmont (The Fairmont cocktail reception is from 4:30 until 5:30).
Arrive anytime in that time period you can…the most important times being around the 4:30 arrival and 5:30ish departure (we don't really know when they are leaving the Fairmont to go to the Getty's, but the Getty party starts at 5:30). I set the time for 3:00 so people could arrive as they need/wish.
(If you are going to the SF GOP dinner, you should have plenty of time to leave work, protest and eat!)
NOTE: WE ARE NOT PROTESTING AT THE GETTY RESIDENCE. IF ANYONE OR ANY GROUP DOES GO TO THE GETTY RESIDENCE, THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN. A GETTY PROTEST IS NOT SANCTIONED, ENDORSED OR PROMOTED BY BAP.
We will be barricaded off and opposition will be directed to another location to protest.
LOCATION:
Westside of Mason Street, behind the barricades from 3:00 pm on. This is across from the entrance to the Fairmont (I highly doubt he'll be going in that way) and it is between Sacramento and California. We will probably have the sidewalk and a lane of traffic. There is a driveway that will be barricaded off to allow the residents to come and go--please do not go in that driveway.
THEME:
What else? We'll remember in November--RESET 2010! Debug the Political System! Anything about him shirking his const'l duty to represent ALL American citizens--not just his party. His takeover of 1/6 of the economy, failure to deal w/ the borders, etc. Keep distracting shirts and signs about his citizenship status home and any references to HItler, Nazis, etc. are not welcome.
I will try to bring as much RESET 2010 signage/cards/small posters as I can. Homemade, creative signs are ALWAYS desirable.
If there is any opposition, stay cool and don't forget to thank the police and clean up after yourselves…I know I don't have to say that…

The reason - for a reception and dinner to raise money for Boxer's re-election campaign. Obama will join Boxer and others at a reception at the Fairmont Hotel, followed by a dinner at the home of billionaire philanthropists Ann and Gordon Getty. Tickets for the reception at the Fairmont cost between $250 and $2,000, while a seat at the dinner costs $17,600.
