Kerry and Schwarzenegger Give Props in California

2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry makes a swing through California today to campaign against Proposition 75, a measure on the November 2005 special election ballot that would limit the use of employee union dues for political activity.

Kerry will announce his opposition to "paycheck protection" measure at a Los Angeles rally with local firefighters, teachers and nurses. The event will be held at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a proposition-related event of his own today, kicking off a signature drive drive to add the so-called "Jessica's Law," a new anti-sex offender initiative, to the fall ballot. That event will be held in Burbank at 1 p.m. ET.

4. Sounds like an appearance similar to the Mayoral race.

Sounds like fun. I hope the weather there Es better than the gloomy weather he leaves behind here.

Oh, and if you get any advance notice of a lengthier speech about foreign policy coming in the next few days, let us know. (I am bugging you. I will making it up somehow, swear I will. It's cuz I care.)

6. I'm back...

Not a lot to report because MapQuest gave me BAD directions and I got there half way through. I have a few good photos that I need to edit and I'll write something for the Dem Daily in a while.

He looks great - I got a big hug and a kiss, right after the camera man next to me bonked me in the head as he turned to follow JK... LOL! JK looked and said "are you okay - oh it's you!"

Here's a photo from Yahoo - I have a little work to do, more later -

7. That's not good.

I would have demanded more sympathy hugs. (I'm sorry you got bonked in the head.)

It was 3:00 EST? How odd.

8. DANG...I gotta start hanging with you.

I've only gotten a handshake and little blm got a cheek caress. (she was 2 at the time)

9. Hope you're okay

That is so cool that he recognized you (and that even before he did that he asked if you were okay.) Bad camera man!
