J20 - Orange County. Oppose the Coronation in the heart of the OC

[Padme Amidala]

The event is being planned for 11 A.M. at the Ronald Reagan U.S. District Court in Santa Ana. There will be speeches and a march around the Civil Center.

The news media barely covers our protest. This is a chance to take our protest to the people. On a Thursday, this area will be bustling with observers, both rich and poor. It is an excellent chance to get out the message. So come and bring your neighbors and relatives and all those you want to inform about the theft of the election.

1. This is the event to attend in Southern Califonria.

2. I plan to attend this one too.

It looks like the better protest. The L.A. one is being thrown by ACTION and they don't like the Democratic Party. Given the outcome of January 6th, the Democratic Party will probably be much more under attack in L.A. than Bush is. At the last J-20 L.A., Gore received worse treatment than Bush.

3. This one will be more coordinated with the timing of the DC event.

Also, people will be carpooling from OC to the Westwood event.

OC sometimes easier for me to get to than the Westside. ;)

7. It's a pretty large coaltition:Dems, Greens, anti-war groups.

It involves Democratic clubs and ADs. the OC Peace Coalition, Veterans for Peace, the OC Green Party, and others. I understand Code Pink is going to be there.

There is a flyer at patrickhenrythinktank.org

8. It looks like it will be pretty large

This will make a big impact because it will be seen by people who are not likely to be as well informed about the opposition to Bush.

9. I understand that the group will march to the civic center for speeches

at about 11:30. Apparently they have a huge rallying area right in the middle of business for the speeches.

From the first page of photos:
"On January 20, in the heart of Republican Orange County, professionals, students, candidates and other individuls from all walks of life came together, united against Bush's theft of the 2004 election: the Patrick Henry Democratic Club, the Orange County Peace Coalition, the 69th Assembly District Democratic Committee, Orange County Veterans for Peace, Democrats.com, the Green Party of Orange County and the Coastal Convergence Society. Also present were members of Amnesty International, Death Penalty Focus, Code Pink, the Screen Actors Guild, the California Bar Association and other organizations."
