HERE IS HOPING THE PARTY TURNS OUT TO BE A GOOD ONE


From the California Nurses Ogranization

The California Nurses Association, which has followed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for more than a year with over 100 protests at his appearances, will be next to the governor on election night as well.


CNA is hosting an "Aloha" party at Trader Vic's Restaurant in the Beverly
Hilton hotel where Schwarzenegger is holding his own election night public
party. Dress: tropical.

When: Tuesday night, November 8
Where: Trader Vic's Restaurant
Beverly Hilton
9876 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills
Time: Media availability from 5 p.m. 'till the drinks run out

To honor the $300 million consumed for the unnecessary special election,
the nurses will wear money leis and serve corporate roast pork in recognition
of those special favors in exchange for all that corporate cash.

Other possible menu selections offered as tribute to Schwarzenegger
include minced principles, twice cooked promises, spare no corporate favor
ribs, sticky fingers on healthcare funding rice, disappearing pineapple
education budget cake, and the ever popular Maui Fizz drinks on behalf of the
governor's dwindling public standing.

In addition to the levity, partygoers will describe the one-year CNA
campaign, which has been a model for the nation in confronting corporate
control of California's political, economic and social life with an emphasis
on grassroots mobilizations and novel tactics.

"For more than a year, California nurses have been the conscience of
California, following the governor and exposing his degrading of our political
system and democracy on behalf of his corporate donors," said CNA Executive
Director Rose Ann DeMoro.

"Tonight will be just another chapter in our campaign. Nurses challenged
Gov. Schwarzenegger and the corporate right agenda to eliminate corporate
checks and balances in our political system, starve education and public
health funding, and increase corporate dominance of our society, long before
these initiatives were on the ballot," said DeMoro.

"We will continue to campaign on behalf of genuine reform tomorrow and the
day after."
