Angry protesters arrived to shame the Minority

and Trade/Gas Tax extension, Marc Steinorth (R-Rancho Cucamonga). Upon arriving
at the restaurant, a notice in the window announced that the Mayes fundraiser
had been cancelled.

"Assemblyman Mayes owes his constituents an
answer for this corrupt bargain. He should step down as minority leader and

"The overwhelming police presence which
arrived at the Assemblyman's office was unwarranted and unjustified. The waste
of police resources and time cannot be explained away, especially since we as
constituents and taxpaying citizens of the state of California have had enough
of politicians breaking their word to taxpayers," Schaper added.

“It is both outrageous and frightening that not only Mayes
and Steinorth violated their pledge and party platforms to support the Cap and
Trade deal, but now they hide from angry constituents and call for law
enforcement to intimidate them and try to scare them off.”
