While speaking at a $250 a plate fundraising dinner in downtown Sacramento, California, Cheney was met with protesters outside. Local ABC News channel 10 reported:
Bewtween 100 and 200 protesters demonstrated outside the Hyatt during
the event. Some protested the war in Iraq and chanted “Drive out the
Bush Regime.” Representatives from the nurses union were also on hand
demonstrating in favor of an initiative for what they call “clean money
elections” which would reform campaign fundraising.
