Republican and Democratic politicos are crowding into the SanFrancisco Bay Area Wednesday – and it's allabout money, not love. With President Obama , House Speaker John Boehner and House Budget chair Paul Ryan in the region, protests won't be far behind. Tea Party activists — lead by the always-active SallyZelikovsky and the San Francisco Tea Party — have already put together their plans to protestObama; they're starting Wednesday at about 6 p.m. outsidethe historic Fox Theatre in Redwood City, where Obama will star ata $250 and up event for about 1,100 supporters. If history is any guide, they won't be the only ones with thesigns and chants out there. But as we've previously reported, that's just one of threefundraisers the president will star at in the Bay Area on Wednesdayand Thursday. And protesters in the area will be out to greet the GOPtoo. CREDO SuperPAC has announced its plans for a 5 p.m. protest of GOP Rep. Dan Lungren's co-hosted fundraiser for House Speaker John Boehner Wednesday at the home of billionaire Tom Siebel in Woodside. Lungren has been targeted as part of CREDO's ""Take Down the Tea Party Ten" campaign. The Boehner fundraiser includes a 5:30 p.m. "roundtablediscussion," a 6 p.m. "host committee photoreception," and a 6:30 p.m. general reception at the home.But better have the checkbook ready: it'll cost a minimumof $1,000 to get in the door, $5,000 for that photo with theSpeaker, $10,000 to host the reception and $38,500 to be a coveted"co-chair." "CREDO SuperPAC is working to defeat Rep. Lungren,"California s Rick Santorum," because of his stone-ageviews on women, and his extremist Tea Party values," theorganization says. And they're serious: "Instead of spending millions onadvertising, CREDO SuperPAC's "Take Down DanLungren" campaign has hired four full-time organizers, openeda field office in Carmichael, and is partnering with localconstituents in Rep. Lungren's district to mobilize voters,and spread the word about the radical policies championed byLungren." Not to mention a website, TakeDownLungren.com The group is running "similar campaigns" in 9 otherCongressional districts across the country. But let's not forget the GOP's budget "YoungGun" Ryan is also in town. He was originally scheduled to attend a Thursday breakfast fundraiser at The Gap headquarters in SanFrancisco . That set off a number of organizations which geared up protestsof the Ryan budget outside The Gap – and prompted a change toanother (apparently secret) location. Still, the Gray Panthers will forge ahead with plans to protest Ryan's agenda outsidethe main San Francisco offices of the Gap on Folsom Street. (During this trip to the Bay Area, the Congressman also doing afundraiser in Los Altos Hills, and another one in the Bay Area,location unknown.)
