Berkley Tells Marines to Get OUT !!!

How Disgusting!!! The legislature of the City of Berkley has told the local marine recruiting station that it "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."

In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy. And it officially encouraged the women's peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.

In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m
"I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don't belong here, they shouldn't have come here, and they should leave," said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast. Source;Berkeley council tells Marines to leave
Let me suggest that the Government find a way to explain to Berkley that if the marines are not welcome neither will ANY federally funded program. It is time to withhold all federal funding from the city of Berkley.
