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)!

UNION THUGS attack Schwarzenegger supporter at Villarogosa rally in Los Angeles - VIDEO!!! ^ | October 31, 2005 | RonDog [and FRiends]
psst! There is NO such things as hispanic race!
People who live in spanish speaking countries are every color of the rainbow just like here in the usa.
To think that hispanic is "brown" (or some other arbitrary color) is evidence of the success of the dnc communist propaganda on the majority of Americans who know no better.
Or Kristallnacht

Just dont call someone from central or south america a mexican. They hate it, they say its insulting to them.
You can be assaulted and sued for it...trust me!
Funniest line I've read in a LONG time.
somewhere on FR I saw a topic that showed that the gov's people kept their powder dry until the beginning of October, and that since then their media blitz had turned the tide. Oh well, some links with this ping...

Well if that is true, then you need glasses with all due respect. The only non-latino White I saw in the video was the woman assaulted.
...Last Friday, Schwarzenegger supporter Genevieve Peters attended a downtown Los Angeles union rally. She did not shout down speakers with chants of "Shame on you! Shame on you!" Instead, Peters waved her "Go for It, Arnold" placards. Union protesters hit Peters with picket signs while one labor militant tried to block KCAL-TV's camera from videotaping the scene. An enraged woman in an orange security vest grabbed Peters's placards and ripped them to shreds right in her face.
And where is the outrage from the Cal GOP? Nothing but silence. What a bunch of friggin' wimps. I think I need to start my own Cal GOP Version 2. The old one is beyond salvage.
And where is the outrage from the Cal GOP?Well, there is THIS report from Dan Weintraub, now posted at www.sacbee.comNothing but silence. What a bunch of friggin' wimps.
October 31, 2005Security--not
Schwarzenegger's people have called a press conference for later today to complain about this assault on one of their supporters at a union rally against the governor's agenda in Los Angeles on Friday.
The harassment of the woman -- including the actions of union security guard who took the woman's sign and tore it to pieces -- is abhorent. I'd hope that union organizers would condemn it as well.
Emotions run high and these things do happen as individuals fail to exercise self-restraint. They need not be a symbol of the entire movement if the leadership steps up and apologizes for the behavior. Otherwise, the kind of thugish behavior exhibited on the video will come to be seen as an extension of the political brutishness the public employee unions all too often exercise inside the Capitol.

I need to start my own Cal GOP Version 2.Sounds like a GREAT idea!The old one is beyond salvage.
How can I help?
We'll see. I am waiting to see what happens next Tuesday and in the '06 mid term elections. Then, maybe, a new PAC will be formed.
What a great post!
:o)
Then give her a big hug!
Unfortunately the civil filing will cost her, and of course she could NOT count on the ACLU for any legal help, as they only support the civil rights of the left.
Thanks for your input.
