From the Washington post:

25 arrested at California conservative meeting

***************************EXCERPT***************************************

Organizer Samantha Corbin told City News Service the protesters were there to "voice opposition to the Koches' funding of climate denial groups, far-right political candidates and anti-health care reform efforts."

Common Cause - CC supports “Net Neutrality,” a policy that would empower the Federal Communications Commission to regulate the Internet.

A key partner of CC is Democracy Matters, a group which emphasizes “agit-prop theatre” and “guerrilla activism” among college students to promote far-left agendas.

Robert Edgar, former secretary general of the National Council of Churches, was named CC’s president and CEO in 2007. In recent years, CC has received large amounts of funding from George Soros’s Open Society Institute, the Tides Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Arca Foundation, the GE Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Century Foundation, and the Compton Foundation.

Just maybe what they say they are is only what they started out to be. At least years ago I could listen to them. The act of picketing another groups get together is appalling to me with very few exceptions.

I saw buses of (mostly Hispanics) all dressed in purple... About 10 miles from this location; day before yesterday....

[I still care]

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

They can’t do something really helpful, say like volunteering somewhere.
