Location: , 1800 H Street, Union City (event will be held in parking lot on corner of Alvarado-Niles Road and Hartnell Street).
The measure won't pass so long as the word gets out about the truth behind it. They tried really hard to sneak it through last May in a bogus mail in "election". I almost overlooked it myself but a friend brought it to my attention. Even in a stealth "election" it went down in flames... this time, it won't be a surprise... it will be right on the same ballot as the GOP presidential primary. In one trip I'll be able to vote for a GOP nominee to defeat Obama AND vote NO on "Preparation H".
Believe me I will , I'am not going to let them spoil an evening out with the family ! . Even if TTFN & Tim were protesting outside it won't stop me ! , Be there tomorrow evening ;-)
I will be at the trucks tomorrow and you should put your objections into practice and PROTEST your objective opinion!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Why don't you stop trying to punish working class citizens and supporting rich corporations that try to avoid paying their fair share? What are you anyway? you sound like a Republican! Care to respond or do you prefer to stay on the attack? You want me to come protest there, why? You want to "beat me up"? Is that your solution to try to quash dissenting opinions?
I'm guessing you don't even live in Union City since I've looked at your profile and you troll, er... comment on just about every Bay Area Patch site and take ultra-liberal positions on everything from unions to weed. So, you won't even have a vote thankfully! Here's an idea, lets legalize your weed and tax it at 500%.... that would solve the schools problems!
