This will never pass in this bluest of blue states, but I like Houston's style.

The petition

We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Council’s treasonous attack on US Marine Recruiters stationed in their city. We ask that Congress cut off funds from any and all municipal entity within the confines of the city of Berkeley, California, until such time as the city council withdraws it’s action.

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 last week by a vote of 8-1.

The council also voted to explore enforcing a city anti-discrimination law, focusing on the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

In a separate item, the council voted, also 8-1, to give the Marxist protest group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week.

Even if they did, it’s not good enough. No weasel-words are good enough. Berkeley must be made to pay the price of sedition.

Oh, please do. Otherwise let them secede and call themselves the “People’s Republic of Berkely”. They just do not want to soil themselves with considerations of national interest; they are just too insular.

only kinda sorta.
Code Pinkie still has their parking space and permit for protest in front of the Marine office. And they are saying they need to moderate the letter not rescind it.

Notice the title. It makes it seem the lawmaker is at fault not Berkeley. Take away more than the $3.3 million, take away all the state and federal tax money given to these slimeballs.

The Berkley morons explicitly advocated impeding the military in their vote. THEY NEED TO BE TRIED FOR TREASON.

....I really hope that the Berkeley city council does NOT rescend their letter...I want this thing to get bigger and bigger....I want more people like Barbara Boxer to get sucked in....I want Hollywood to get sucked in....I want to see a line drawn in the sand so that the anti-military appeasement whores will be spotlighted for the whole country to see....no more quibbling....no more wiggle room....you’re either for the Marines or you’re against them.....no in between.
