--------------------------------

Actor, director socially aware citizen and quasi-political possibility, Warren Beatty, spoke in Santa Monica this weekend before the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) which awarded him the Phillip Burton Public Service Award.

In accepting the award he spoke out against the governor's basic agenda and fundraising activities (Schwarzenegger was scheduled to hold another fundraiser, tonight in Sacramento, at $100,000 a head).

In his speech, Beatty mentioned nurses, police, firefighters, students, the elderly and the disabled but made no specific mention of injured workers (which says a lot about the promotional skills of those individuals and groups purporting to represent injured workers).

"I'd like to be rooting for you," Beatty was quoted as saying to the absent governor. "So I'll say it again. Spend some of that popularity. Do the right thing. Do the right thing, because after dining out at all of those rich and powerful fundraising dinners, who knows? Some 'stooge' or 'girlie man' or 'loser' may just pop up out of nowhere and eat you for lunch."
