Yeah, baby, yeah! Just got back from a little lunch time style FREEP on Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills, right across from the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Future Governor Bill Simon is scheduled to debate the Green Party Kook today (and of course, Davis is too busy raising ca$h for himself to debate any issues) at the Hilton so a few of us Freepers gathered across the street (thanks BH police officers for stopping traffic so I could cross) with RonDog heading the crew in his Gray Davis is a Whore outfit.
Also there, Absolom01 as a grim reaper, urging Davis to stop dumping toxic waste, Feinswinesuksass with a "Davis for Sale", and also DoughtyOne, Tony in Hawaii, who should check in with their signs-- and pictures!
I've been to a lot of Freeps, and the big difference here-- all the passing traffic (and there was a lot) read our signs and either gave us the thumbs up, honked their horn, gave the "V" for victory, or nodded in agreement. NOT ONE MIDDLE FINGER OR "F-U!" No angry responses. Why? Because no one likes Davis.
A Channel 10 news truck was there as were some people standing across the street from us watching our protest. Some of the Gray Davis unpaid college intern West Wing wannabe campaign staffers got on their cell phones and started crying that there was no love going on for Gray in Beverly Hills, so a little while after our freep started, some bought and paid for union men showed up with campaign headquarter signs and got busy acting like supporters on the Hilton side of the street.
That's when we all decided to pack it up and go home, so that the Davis crew wouldn't get any attention.
It must have worked, because I went shopping at Robinson's May after the protest (and got myself a nice black peasant blouse on sale) and when I came out, the union guys were putting their signs away and going home. BY THE WAY-- I KNOW THEY WERE UNION: one of them had a union workers sticker on his car under his Davis sticker, and another had an IronWorkers union frame on his license plate. I am not dissing union workers, but I am dissing these phony supporters who get paid to go out in the middle of a work day and hold signs for the worst governor in the history of California.

JUST DON'T STOP!
This just in from the Simon Team:
An "energy event" is planned for tomorrow morning:
One last one (Rapid Response) FOR the week in the LA area.
Thursday September 19
9:30am
Custom Foods
1117 W. Olympic Blvd.
Montebello
we will be leaving at 11:00am
We need 30-40 folks.
VERY IMPORTANT--WE WANT EVERYONE TO CARRY A LIGHT BULB--PLUS THEIR SIGN.
It is a very good sign that in FReeping against Davis you got almost no nay-sayers cropping up who supported Davis -- other than the union guys who own Davis so they feel they ought to be there. It was always discouraging when seemingly intelligent and able people near, or coming out of the White House, would challenge us and vigorously support the Prevaricator-in-Chief.
Angelwood and kristinn showed the persistence of bulldogs and the patience of saints in trying to deal with / reason with those deluded fools.

Barbra Streisand is to come out of retirement to help boost America's Democrats. The political activist, a supporter of the Democratic Party, will perform at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on September 29 at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre - the new home of the Oscars. Other stars billed to support Streisand on the night include Barry Manilow...
more-- snip --
When I start the NEW thread, I am considering a slightly MODIFIED approach to this FReep, keeping the focus on our money-grubbing soon-to-be-EX-governor Gray Davis:
"Hollywood Hookers say Gray Davis gives REAL prostitutes a bad name, protest Streisand fundraiser as 'unfair' competition"HOLLYWOOD - Dozens of angry "ladies of the evening" will descend on Hollywood's Kodak Theatre Sunday to protest what they say is "unfair competition" from California's governor Gray Davis...
