SACRAMENTO — More than 60 protesters were arrested Monday evening at the state Capitol after they refused to break up a peaceful demonstration in the Rotunda after the building's scheduled 6 p.m. closure.

The arrests marked the end of the first day of a week of budget protests being staged simultaneously by education groups led by the California Teachers Association and a coalition of peace and social justice groups that included top officials of the state Peace and Freedom Party.

Those arrested were mostly college-age protesters from the San Francisco Bay area, but also included about a dozen schoolteachers, including the president of the Oakland Education Association, the union that represents 2,700 teachers in the Oakland Unified School District.

1. It will start out spotty, BUT if this becomes a trend

and ESPECIALLY if it get ROWDY, this WILL get attention.

I also think that if we want media attention, we go to THEM. At their corporate offices and affiliates.
