The Courage of the Berkeley City Council
Send Your Message of Support Today!
The Berkeley California City Council voted to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Square recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders,”

The city council members now need to hear from people all over the
country – and from YOU. Tell them all how much you support their
resolution declaring the Marine Corps Recruiting Center to be
“unwelcome” in Berkeley. The right wing blogosphere and Fox News are
mobilizing to force the city to back down. A Senator from South
Carolina is calling for Berkeley to lose all federal funding. One
council member is even receiving death threats.
