[Natural Law]

I support your intentions, but you are barking up the wrong tree. The Berkeley Chamber of Commerce fully supports the troops ( http://www.berkeleychamber.com ) but doesn’t have much of a voice on the city council.

That picture is new and I’m sure the Marines appreciate the gesture but the Chamber represents business which in turn is the tax base for Berkeley. The businesses are the target because their presence in Berkeley supports Berkeley and the council. I wrote the Chamber after numerous e-mails to the city council have gone unanswered and like any city the chamber has extensive influence when the proper pressure points are applied.
