Supporting the troops, Berkeley style
All Federal funds going to the City of Beserkeley should be immediately revoked…
BERKELEY — Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go. That’s the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 6-3, with Gordon Wozniak, Betty Olds and Kriss Worthington dissenting, to tell the Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”
It also voted 7-2, with Wozniak and Olds dissenting, to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines and to encourage the women’s peace group Code Pink to protest 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. ~insidebayarea.com

Nope, we should demand equal time and access to support the troops. If the city refuses, sue them in Federal Court for denying us equal treatment under the law.
This should be done by as many different groups as possible, each group filing separate (but equal) lawsuits.
