Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Alliance for a Better California – “We’re BACK!”
NBC4TV: Sen. John McCain To Speak At Schwarzenegger Fund-Raiser
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s campaign will get a much-needed infusion of at least $2 million thanks to a fund-raiser Monday in Beverly Hills featuring a speech by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Tickets for Monday’s fund-raiser at the Beverly Hilton, which also benefits the California Republican Party, start at $1,000.
The Alliance for a Better California is BACK and has a “SURPRISE” for the California Governor:
***Media Advisory***
FIREFIGHTERS, NURSES, TEACHERS, POLICE OFFICERS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS HOLD
RALLY OUTSIDE SCHWARZENEGGER-MCCAIN FUNDRAISER AT THE BEVERLY HILTONFed up with the Governor Schwarzenegger’s broken promises and failure to lead, the Alliance for a Better California is holding a rally outside the Governor’s Beverly Hills fundraiser with Senator John McCain, where the Governor is expected to raise an unprecedented $2 million in one night.
The Alliance for a Better California is also circulating an online petition to Senator McCain asking him not to attend the fundraiser, which violates both the letter and spirit of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law the Senator fought so vigorously to pass.
The Governor’s campaign announced last month their fundraising goal of $120 million for this election. The Governor is holding fundraisers this month in New York City, Phoenix, Washington, D.C. and all over the state of California. On his trip to D.C., where he promised to bring back federal dollars to shore up the state’s levees, Schwarzenegger ended up bringing home more money for his campaign than he did for the entire state of California.

Looks like that deal Schwarzenegger cut with the California Nurses Association after the November 2005 California Special Election wasn’t enough.
But, then again, after reading the Los Angeles Times today the donors may NOT show because of Schwarzenegger’s “living large.”
Stay tuned for photos of tonight’s protest demonstrations……
