CEO Sightspeed
Berkeley, CA
Via email

Dear Peter-
By now, most of the world and you know that the Berkeley City Council has chosen to insult the Marines and all our servicemen and women. During the contentious meeting last week, several people publicly advised them to change course or face a boycott.

I note that your firm is in Berkeley, but you live in San Diego. Please move Sightspeed. I would like to make it clear that we harbor no animosity to Sightspeed, you, or any individual at your firm. In fact we want you to thrive. We just want you to succeed outside of Berkeley and to stop enabling, via you tax dollars, a city council that is intolerant and hates our military.

Please move.

I should note that over 20 thousand Americans signed a petition objecting to your odious city council behavior. Our wish is that Sightspeed not pay an economic price for a City Council that seems to have little common sense. Please move outside of Berkeley ASAP so that a boycott does not impact your bottom line.

Sincerely,

Drango

PS: Please do not consider our correspondence private. You may my letter wherever you want and I may post your response online.

I just sent my own. If you would like a copy, FReepmail me.

I have two grandsons serving. I will not allow Code Pink to win. Period.

Berkeley should be “sanitized.”

I see you added me, although maybe just temporarily.

I would like to not be on the list, because I can find this thead anytime I need to.

Thanks

Oh, here is a "victory" picture from the event Tuesday in Berkeley:

Zanne Joi, left, Rae Abileah, Laurence Schechtman and Phoebe Sorgen all from Berkeley, celebrate the Berkeley City Council vote for not to apoligize to the U.S. Marines recruiters during the meeting that ended after 1:00 am on Wednesday Feb. 13, 2008 at the Old City Hall in Berkeley, Calif. (Ray Chavez/The Oakland Tribune)

There are some things I will discuss with you privately when I have time.

Some info on one of the code pinko mucky mucks:

The “Code Pink” spokesperson, Phoebe Sorgen, is also a District 4 member of the damned P&J Commission. I don’t see where she recrused herself from voting on the resolution to allow them to have the space to harass the recruiting office.

The commission’s vote was unanimous with 5 members absent. Code Pinko wasn’t one of them.

The council should be ashamed. The city should be embarrassed.
