First Amendment trumps Terminator

On October 23, 2009 at 9AM in Los Angeles, activists unite, invoking our first amendment rights in protest of Gov. Schwarzenegger's "muscle-bound veto" slashing funds for programs under the California Department of Public Health. Spearheading this V-Day CALL TO ACTION, is Eve Ensler of Vagina Monologues fame. Denise Brown is scheduled to participate, as well hundreds of actvists without celebrity status. I've spoken personally with Denise; we share outrage regarding our governor's knife-wielding justification that "cuts have to be made".

Governor Schwarzenegger's video added insult to injury, and as Eve Ensler stated in the Huffington Post, "has always had contempt for the vulnerable". Nearing the end of his term, his approval rating sinks to 28%. See article the terminator is back by Eve Ensler. Join me and other activists in protest, honoring past progress bought with the blood of countless homicide victims. Family members and stakeholders have vowed lost lives will not be in vain. Although many are supporting numerous events this Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we gather together to stand in protest... infusing positive energy to restore life-saving programs. Remember the national hotline is available to serve YOU at 1-800-799-SAFE. Be aware and Be safe. YOU are loved; your comments are always welcome.
