Here is the itinerary of tomorrow’s events that I’ve pieced together (saving you the rise of blood pressure). Info from AnswerSF and CodePink.
March 19:
Codepink/WCW in front of Marine Recruiting Station Berkeley 0730 - 1630. (One source says that WCW will be a block away from the MRS, while Codepink says they will be in one unified mass. Typical for lefties.) In addition, they claim to be bringing packing supplies. To me, that means that they will try to enter the MRS. Called them up and gave them a heads up earlier, so hopefully they’ll fail.
In addition, Codepink plans some other crap like a “banner drop” in Oakland and a critical mass type event. Called the Oakland PD to also give them a heads up (for what little it’s worth).
Not sure if friendly forces will be there. No reply from the Berkeley College Republicans. Unsure if they will engage (Wednesday being a duty day).
For the convenience of you in the Silicon Valley, there’s a protest in front of King Library at SJSU. 1600 - 1800. San Jose “Peace And Justice” Center led. Hopefully, my mates in SJSU College Republicans will be there.
AnswerSF at Civic Center San Francisco 1700 - 2000. The big one. Last time, our side was on the City Hall side, while the lefties will be on the park side, but this remains yet to be determined. Friendly forces include SF Voice for Israel and SFSU College Republicans. The latter is the feistiest bunch you’ll ever run into.
I would suggest that we engage in SF. Heckling them all day long would be quite amusing, but since it’s far easier to take BART than drive to the City, and since the BART will probably be filled with lefties eager to engage in CQB, I would not advise this.
Would love to join you in the counter FReep but as a wage slave, work calls.
No offense intended
:>)
This ought to bring some balance to those pics.
Leaving in a few hours for Bezerkeley again.
Good Guys side. Look at how Marine Corps Captain Richard Lund, Berkeley Recruitor, took on the Pinkos and represented the Corps with honor in this letter published in Berkeley’s local paper 10/02/2007
“Commentary:An open letter to Code Pink”

My understanding is that WCW has a protest permit that’s for something like Shattuck & Center, but they actually plan on protesting at the USMC office.
Pro-Marine Berkeley High students tell me they’ll be at the USMC office starting around lunchtime, staying as long as possible given their classes and such. I’m sure they’d love any support!
If they try to enter the MRS or block its entrance, they are breaking Federal Law according to 18 USC 2388 (willfully obstructing recruitment), which is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. I’m no attorney, but maybe someone needs to call the Feds on them if they attempt it.

Sounds good.
I was addressing the other two that live closer though with the query of attendence.
I’m sure there is something in your area that needs attention.
Nothing planned in your town though that I found.
I’ll try to make it, if I can at lunch. Though, I personally believe that their joining us in SF would be more effective. Strength in numbers. Plus, things can get hairy, as shown already.
Also, I forgot to brief you all on SF Freep SOP. As this will be my third time facing off the lefties, I’ve picked up a thing or three along the way. Time to pass it on.
First and foremost, remember that we will be outrageously outnumbered by frothing moonbats, Communists, anarchists, and other scum. Think Mos Eisley, but without a lightsaber. Thus, caution is a must. Travel in groups. Maintain your vigilance, especially in light of the way these sort of things are getting more violent. If something does go down, we will be held at fault, and the law may not (or probably not, in Berkeley) intervene. At the last one in October, the SF Riot Cops were pointed towards us and not the lefties. Restrain your righteous urge to give them the wrath of the free.
Secondly, stealth is your friend. If possible, assemble your signs and banners at the protest site. This will allow you to reach the location unmolested. Failing that, cover up your sign for protection in preferably opaque plastic (such as a garbage bag). Remaining unmolested on BART and while walking to the location of friendly forces is a must, given the forces against us mentioned earlier.
Third, logic and leftists do not mix. Remember what the Daily Kos founder said with regards to Iraq. “The fact’s don’t matter! US out of Iraq!” You’ll have better luck reasoning with a brick wall than you will with a leftist.
Four, expect insults. Again, see Number One. Expect ad hominem attacks on your signs and arguments. Remember, do not curb stomp them, and also remember that by attacking you and not your argument, you’ve already won. Secretly, they know their arguments are pathetic, hence the personal attacks.
Finally, have fun. While I know it may seem hard to believe after all these warnings, each time I go I have a hell of a good time. Make new friends. Diss the leftists (like that horrible rapper they had last time). Go have a bite to eat once it’s all over. That sort of thing.
Hope this helps, and hope to see you tomorrow. I’ll probably be up in the City by 1700. Look for the flag and sign mounted on a ludicrously large yellow pole.

That's cool the Patriotic High School students will be there!
Some of us will be still there.
BUMPUS MAXIMUS
