The business owners who are allies in this fight, could post signs to that effect in their business windows. Or on their websites. Although, the business owners that have been quoted in the news haven’t said they are opposed to the city council’s silly statements; all they’ve said is don’t blame us....if they don’t vote them out/recall them, then they appear to tacitily approve if not totally agree.
Business owners could place “MARINES WELCOME” signs in their windows and see exactly how that improves their sales. The almighty dollar has more influence in the vote than the actual vote itsself.
