(02-04) 18:52 PST Berkeley -- A week after blasting the Marines as "unwelcome intruders" in Berkeley, two city council members want the city to back off the declaration that ignited the wrath of the nation's right wing and inspired a Republican senator to try to sever Berkeley's federal funding.
Council members Betty Olds and Laurie Capitelli proposed today that Berkeley rescind its letter to the U.S. Marine Corps that stated that the downtown Berkeley recruiting center "is not welcome in our city," and publicly declare that Berkeley is against the war but supports the troops.
The city council will vote on Olds' and Capitelli's two proposals at its Feb. 12 meeting.
"I think we shouldn't be seen across the country as hating the Marines," said Olds, who voted against last week's proposals. "If you make a mistake, like we did, you should admit it and correct it and move on."

Looks like the pressure is getting to at least some of them!
posting what I really think would get me banned, so no comment
You made no mistake. You simply did what you normally would.
That is why your damn school ought to not have a stitch of funding again, ever.
You represent it as you thought you should have.
Goodbye to you, liberal idiots.
I am waiting for the President to call for 10,000 volunteer troops to invade and subjugate Berkley. I will be there to sign up as soon as they ask for troops.
I’ll say part of it, Berkeley Council can go to he!!.
Take a few mil out of the funding for that fence with Mexico and just wrap it around the town.
Keep 'em in there until there aren't any more of their kind around.
“I think we shouldn’t be seen across the country as hating the Marines”........
Ya THINK?!!
Beserkeley Ping!
liberals only feel empowered if other pay their way. They have no convictions or would continue on despite the money.
They are truly losers. In any other point in human history or in 90 percent of the world they would be slaves and have nothing.
Berkeley is $o $o $orry.
NO federal funding for Berkeley
forget underground nuke tests. lets try one about 1/4 mile above ground. (rid the world of smelly hippies)
Keep a lib gate open to go in, just like a roach motel.
Well, this chick was already against the dumb proposal to begin with. Its a matter of seeing if the pressure works with the rest of the council that voted FOR the proposal to begin with.
How much federal funding for Berkeley ?
Too late...that horse left the barn a long time ago and is no where to be found while you try to close the door.
