Berkeley to Marine Corps: You're Not Welcome
BERKELEY, Calif. Local officials in this liberal city say it's time for the
U.S. Marines to move out.
The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting
station is not welcome and "if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as
uninvited and unwelcome guests."
The measure passed this week by a vote of 8-1.

Now check this out, here is a letter a businessman wrote to the Mayor of
Berkeley.
Is this a great country or what?
Dear Mayor Bates,
In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and
women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am
informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our
current suppliers located in the Berkeley,California metro area.
In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and
do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide,
I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no
longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area.
In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht
marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts , all
suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all
tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be informed that we will
not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area.
Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior,
currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar
300+ villas and 200+ condos: Porto Hussong, www.portohussong.com 500+
condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have
international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall
Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes.
I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy
yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of
our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in,
or associated with in any way whatsoever,Berkeley, Ca.
Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business
for over 35 years, our list of contacts and associates is long and very,
very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to recomend that they ALL
along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses
and CHARITIES of every kind.
You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance
you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood
of better men than you.
I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers
consequences arising from that obnoxious, sickening stance.
Cordially,
Brian G Dennard

Director

Mayor Bates,
I would like to bring to your attention the fact that the freedoms enjoyed
by the citizens of Berkeley were bought and paid for with the blood of the
Marines you now wish to eject from your city. Your decision, and your
attitude in general, make me want to vomit.
It is my sincere hope and desire that the citizens of Berkeley remove you
and your cohorts from elective office as soon as possible. Your city is an
embarrassment to the citizens of America and people throughout the world.
