Protests  to "Deport Wilson" at Inauguration

Sacramento - Protesters gave Pete Wilson a piece of their mind today in a
rally and march that signify the beginning of a mass resistance to
California's racist, police-state policies.

Over 300 protesters, by official count, gathered outside of the Sacramento
Community Center.  Inside, Pete Wilson was being inaugurated to another
term as California's governor and positioning himself squarely as a
prospect for GOP Presidential candidate in 1996.

Riding on the heels of his Proposition 187, that would deny hospital care
and schools to the children of illegal immigrants, Pete told the receptive
audience that the war on welfare and environmental laws were top priority
on the  Republican party agenda.  He promised a bright future for
California, meaning a bright outlook for multinational corporations based
in the golden state.

Outside the Convention Center, riot-gear clad police enforced the rule of
the corporate political machine.  Protesters came with a variety of
grievances and vowed to resist Wilson's policies in a united campaign for
a progressive renewal of California. 

After the rally protesters marched on the local Safeway to launch a
nationwide boycott of RJR Nabisco for their financial support of the
Wilson campaign and Proposition 187.  

Riot police guarded Safeway with determination as they formed an
impenetrable blockade in front of the donut-filled supermarket.  In a
scene that can only be described as humorous, youthful skate-punks had
their pictures taken in front of the Safeway with riot cops behind them.

The corporate police-state of California was exposed for it's hypocritical
self.  The main worry, however, is that Wilson is planning a run for
president.  

"Progressives across the country better get their shit together," said one
protester.  "Because President Pete Wilson will make Reagan look like a
liberal."
