Today. Good evening, everyone. The president has come to make a withdrawal, a california cash call, if you will. The president has two major fundraisers on his Silicon Valley schedule. He should go, be going home tomorrow with 1 million to 2 million in Campaign Cash for the Democratic Party in his pocket. We are live at the site of the fundraisers. David, well start with you. The meeting with high tech leaders going on behind me. We see activity there appears to be an end to the event very soon as the president leaves to go to downtown san jose we saw the Motorcycle Unit leave just minutes ago. All were meeting inside of a tent and were finding out that the meeting is continuing for a few more minutes. A lot of excitement here because neighbors didnt know its going to be the president coming into the neighborhood but the talk on the inside was serious. What is in it to make big donations . The answer is access. In this case, sitting around a large table just 25 of them to have direct access to the president. Silicon valley learning interests are impacted by policies or laws about privacy, Immigration Reform and export restrictions. Protect industry with a little bit late to get involved in politics but now, they are immersed and active in lobbying and endorsing candidates. Money can help elect members of congress to help, or hurt their businesses. Donations and votes closely linked to according to Daniel Newman from the group map light that monitors those activities. Issue after issue, members tend to vote with the side that gives them the most money. A whos who already had backed a former Obama Administration official. One is marisa mayer. Conno trying to unseat mike honda. Democrats are facing several races such as this in mid term elections. A point not lost on republican challenger, a stanford professor and physician. The trip is a reflection of that. And is probably for a good reason the country is still hurting. It shows real americans are having real problems. And that is going to reflect in mid term elections. The president s next stop is a larger fundraiser in downtown san jose in the fairmont hotel. That is where we are live now. Lisa . Reporter the motorcade will come down park avenue and then, down to Market Street. Many are activists from 350 Silicon Valley. A Group Proposed as a new section of the key stone pipeline running from canada to gulf coast but people are happy to see the president. Tickets for the fundraiser ranged from 1,000 to 3 ,000. Attendees lined up in front of the hotel to go through metal detectors but they, too, know the protestors message. Im hoping it will help, that he will realize it needs to be stopped. And damage throughout the united states. Hes done a great job i admire him. Security is high. Traffic coming through market to san fernando. Cars parked on Market Street started to get towed. The president of y come bin nator. Attendees were told the event will start around 6 00 but looks like everything is delayed by 0 minutes. We dont know what route the president will take but preem its interstate 280. You can see its moving along fairly well for this time of the day. Going to give you a live view now using cell 7 technology. Its moving along nicely. Several exits at a time. But it has remained shut down during the visit in the los altos hills. Two big fundraisers tonight and tomorrow, president obama will visit a Walmart Store in mountain view. Its a visit putting him in hot water. Hes good gog because the store is a model of energy efficiency. But that move is risky. Labor unions are critical of the low wages. Political watchers dont think it will hurt the president nationally. Reaction what people in the bay area think about walmart. Hes probably making whatever statement he wants to try to make. So its been broader and played in the bay area. The president will be the first sitting u. S. President to visit a Walmart Store, interestingly enough. The president of the united food and commercial Workers International union says the president s visit sends a terrible message to worker as cross america. I invite the president to meet with walmart worker whos can tell him about their struggles. Now, if the president is on time, well carry some remarks live in san jose later in this newscast. Today a Senate Committee advanced a bill requiring smart phone makers to include a kill switch to put brakes on what author calls a National Crime wave. This is just a casual encounter. These crimes often involve violence people died as a result of having a smart phone robbed. Three out of every four robberies now involves theft of a smart phone the passage did not come easy. Were excited. Within hours of the state Senate Passage of the cell phone kill switch bill, city leaders were on a step of city hall applauding it. The reality is that they shouldnt be the target of robbers. We have technology to disable them. Sq . Police estimate 75 of the robberies in oaklandt involve cell phones, crimes like these sometimes turn violent. Over time, if the kill switch requirement becomes law, interim chief believes that number will decline. We can make it a disincentive to take the cell phone, then there is a good likelihood to see a bigger reduction in crimes. This is going to be free enabled on all phones. A victim himself, the city councilman is one of the vocal supporters. If the muggers and thieves out there realize that there will be no reason to steal them. One concession is that kill switch would be required only on phones. Not tablets. In berkeley, abc7 news. Apple reportedly in talks for popular beef electronics.

Theyre trying to get over the fact it would be invalidated and what will happen to Teacher Morale and classrooms . As pta president im kind of shocked and surprised theyd be able to do that without contacting us. Janet is the president of the schools parentteacher organization. She and other parents say district officials never told them about the decision to provide space to the designer tech Charter School until after its a done deal saying minutes werent made public until recently. Why . Why secrecy . What is behind this . D tech would begin with a freshman class of up to 150 students. To start with, six existing classrooms at mills would be given to d tech. Each year, new classes would be added with a full enrollment expected at 500. Parents we spoke with wonder what the charter would do to a high school with 1300 students. School district Officials Say the school has been discussed an half a dozen open meetings. There is not a lot of people that come to board meetings. Its not something people perhaps think about. Going to. But they are public parents say they have nothing against the concept of a Charter School they just want the district to stop, talk with a community before signing anything. They hope the might mooeting will be the first step. Still to come here tonight at 6 00 why does oakland still not have a Permanent Police chief one year later .

The mayor said the search is moving along who, critics think more searching is not needed and money should be better spent recruiting Police Officers note a chief. We did a search.
