SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A crowd of protesters estimated at more than 1,000 gathered outside a downtown Sacramento hotel Monday night, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was attending a pricey fund-raiser.

The angry protesters descended on the Sheraton Grand, surrounding the hotel and sometimes pouring out into the street, looking to send a message to the governor.

"We feel like we have been lied to," teacher Elizabeth Burdick said.

"My frustration with the governor is immense," teacher Maggie Ellis said.

The demonstrators were protesting Schwarzenegger's plan for reform on issues such as public pensions, Proposition 98 and paying teachers based on merit.

Protesters said they feel the governor is unfairly targeting teachers, nurses and retirement plans.
