Mr. Terry Guffey sent me this letter he wrote to the Mayor of Berkley and many others in Berkley. I asked his permission to share it and he agreed . Here is the letter.

As the PROUD parent of 2 active duty Iraq War Veterans, PROUD uncle of an active duty Marine and PROUD friend to many Veterans, I am disgusted with your decision to allow Code Pink reserved parking in front of a Marine Recruiting Station. I see this as a provocation on your part that you and the entire city council have facilitated, and you should all be held accountable for any injury, damage and loss. Granting them protest permits is one thing, but allowing them to set headquarters directly in front of their target is totally irresponsible and asinine. What are you people thinking?
Then you try to outdo yourselves in the stupidity department by telling the Marine's that they are "uninvited and unwelcome intruders in Berkeley"??? Are you shitting me? Do you people treat residents of Berkeley who are in the military with the same disrespect you give the Recruiters? I can just imagine how a soldier from your city is reacting to this. "I'm not from Berkeley, I'm from Albany, or Emeryville". While cities and towns across America are honored to have some form of military ties, you are doing your best to shame them and get them to leave. The men and women serving in the military need our support. They deserve our respect. Our Veterans, both past and present, deserve the same. Our rights and freedoms have been paid in full by America's Veterans. While you and the city council don't deserve the honor of cleaning the boots of these heroes, you do qualify to clean their latrines. You will find there are sim ilarities between yourselves and the turds you are collecting. Somebody in Berkeley needs to have the balls to step up and remove every single one of you from office and make Mr. Wozniak mayor/council pro-tem, being he is the only one who seems to have any sense.
My right to speak my opinion are courtesy of a Veteran, not a lawmaker. You can thank God I don't live in Berkeley, because I would be delivering this message in person! Please send Code Pink to North Carolina, we need some fertilizer for our fields.
One last comment; When a natural disaster falls on Berkeley, don't call for any help from the government, call Code Pink.

You and your city council needs to drive to your local grocery store and buy a sack of bran cookies and several gallons of prune juice, because you are full of it. If I wasn’t 3,000 miles away I would have told this to your face.

What ticks me off to no end about the moonbats chaining themselves to the doors of the recruiting office is that they were allowed to block entrance to a government office for around seven hours before police finally acted. The police basically sat across the street and 'observed' the goings on, including people attempting to pass thru the protesters and into the office. The police eventually arrested 3 protesters and charged them with misdemeaners and let two go. The third had outstanding warrants and was held.

What about the rights of law abiding American citizens that wanted to conduct business in that office????????????????????? I would have been forced to try to re-up if I saw the orange-jump-suiters chained to the door. Hey, how about dragging my own chain from my truck and looping it around their chain ... then driving to the bay and dumping the trash???

I know the cops were probably acting under orders but it is WRONG for them to allow the entrance to any office to be blocked.

I guess y'all have read the articles about the Berkeley City Council now thinking about rescinding their letter to the Marine Corps Recruiting Office ... somewhat grudgingly but thinking about it ....

James,

Being embedded so firmly in liberalism I believe they thought the entire country felt the way they do. I was reading someplace yesterday, the mayor of Berkeley was considered to be one of the most left of the liberals a few years ago, when he was in another position. I think he has leaned even further.

You know the libs always feel they are 1) superior, 2) privileged, 3) smarter, and 4) laws and decisions do not apply to them. Consequently they feel they can do anything they feel like while the rest of the country has to get out of their way. This is bolstered by the decision of the police to 'observe' for over seven hours while the orange suited fairies blockaded the doors to the recruiting station, even as confrontations and struggles took place when people wanted to enter the office. Sounds like a 'hands off' policy was in effect.

I'd love to see Berkeley rescind the letter ... take away the parking place for code stink (which hasn't been mentioned) ... and have the federal government STILL withdraw all funding for Berkeley AND the state of California.

That's a good suggestion about cutting off their federal funds. I think that they also get their little bitty feelings hurt when they get bombarded by email like that has been sent to them in the last few days. I'm gonna type another one soon and send it letting them know that I'm going to try to get my Senators to check into seeing if they deserve federal funds anymore since they have become so independent. Of course I will also let them know that I'm exercising my 1st Amendment Rights to tell them what I think.
Maybe that will get their attention.

They have developed a big head so it's up to us to see that it's re-sized back down so they can get their thinking caps back on. B)

From MAF (Move America Forward):

Quote:
 
There has been more fallout in Berkeley, California after the City Council passed a resolution that called our troops "unwelcome intruders" and called upon residents to not cooperate with any military recruiting center in the city.

Anti-military protestors, feeling emboldened by the city's blessing, chained themselves in front of the Marine Recruiting Center and prevented people from entering the facility. The police stood by and did nothing - telling people that they were "trying to remain neutral." See the video for yourself - HERE

Photograph from SF Chronicle

Thousands of you have responded to our call to action and registered your protests with the city via emails, phone calls and petitions.

Now, as Michelle Malkin Reports, city council members are indicating that they may rescind the resolution at their next City Council meeting that takes place this Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 7:00 PM.

Move America Forward has already announced our plans for a giant rally outside the City Council chambers at the February 12th Council Meeting. We need people there by 5:00 PM for the council meeting start time of 7:00 PM.

However, since the news media will likely be camped out throughout the day, we will have staff arriving in the morning, and are asking as many supporters as possible to join us for at least part of the day - so there are bodies there for the cameras. Our first Move America Forward staff members will arrive at 5:00 AM (yes, in the morning) - this is when the early morning news programs begin airing in San Francisco.

The City Council Chambers are located at 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way. It's right by Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. Here is a map to the location


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROTEST OF BERKELEY CITY COUNCIL

* TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2008

* 2134 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WAY - BERKELEY, CA

* Council Meeting Begins at 7:00 PM

(We are asking people to be there early,
however - if possible, start arriving by 5:00 PM)

** Also... If you can, please join us for our "picketing" of the City Council Chambers. We will be out there at 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way beginning at 5:00 AM for the morning news. We will have a presence all throughout the day - the next newscasts are at 12:00 Noon, so we'll want a good size presence there as well.

Been offline a few days but I'm catching up on what's been happening. I'm really enjoying this topic. Went to mardi gras yesterday and y'all would've stood up and cheered when the 155th BCT rolled by in the parade--followed by the recruiters. Not one single "boo" could be heard from the crowd. People were going up to them and hugging them or shaking their hands. We love our military personnel down here and they get our full support. I'll try to post pictures later when I get them downloaded. By the way, the parade was lead off by the Keesler Air Force Base Honor Guard.

I got a link to this in today's email.
...You might have heard about Berkeley’s City Council's recent vote to tell the Marines to close their recruiting station in the city. With this vote, they told the Marines that their recruiting office is not welcome in their city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as an uninvited and unwelcome intruders.

In response to this, I will be introducing the “Semper Fi Act” in the House of Representatives. This act rescinds all of the funding contained in the FY 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Act for the City of Berkeley, CA and transfers those funds to the Marines for recruiting...

Go here for the complete article, good read.

Hot off the presses, here is the info you've all been waiting for to gather with us in Berkeley. Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday Feb 12th. Plan ahead and pack food and drinks so that you won't need to purchase anything in Berkeley.

Fighting for our troops,
Debbie Lee

Move America Forward - www.MoveAmericaForward.org - is calling on patriotic Americans from near and far to come to Berkeley, California and join us for a protest of the Berkeley City Council - in response to their recent efforts to silence the Marines and chase all vestiges of the military out of their city. Remember, the City Council called the Marines, "unwelcome intruders" and accused them of commiting acts of "barbarity."

Well now the rest of America will be heard from this Tuesday, February 12th when we organize a giant pro-America rally to protest the Berkeley City Council when they gather for their City Council meeting.

The City Council meeting takes place at 7:00 PM at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Berkeley, CA.

Move America Forward is asking people to show up by 5:00 PM if possible - so we have a crowd gathered in time for the media crews, and so we can secure seats for supporters inside the City Council Chambers.

(Note: Since the media will be covering this story all day, we'll have Move America Forward staffers outside the City Council chambers beginning at 5:00 AM. We'd sure like it if some of you could either join us for brief periods of time throughout the day, or join us for our all day pro-troop vigil!)

Again - the pro-troop/anti-Berkeley City Council rally takes place on Tuesday, February 12th, outside of their City Council Chambers. We're asking people to join us by 5:00 PM if possible. The address: 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Berkeley, CA. You can get a map of the location - HERE.

Bring your American flag with you!

More details can be found at the Move America Forward website: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org

Colorado Eagles....

Since the Code Pink group has a Wednesday event.....in front of the Marine Recruiting station....

I was thinking "I'd like to go but can't afford it".
Then thought "I can't afford to not go"!

So, the question becomes how do we get there and do this double event?

I've found round trip airfare on expedia.com DEN to SFO on US Air $322.98

Berkeley is about 1,270 miles from Denver Yahoo say's about 18 hours travel time one way -- Rental SUV's are about $74 a day.

How about it Colorado, do we have any Eagles that want to go to Berkeley next week?

Debbie Lee is one of our finest Eagles, and she said

"calling on patriotic American's from near and far to come to Berkeley"

How about it Eagles, what do you say to Debbie Lee?
Remember she "Knows the price of Freedom"!!!

Friends,

We have another maverick Mayor that has asked Marines to leave. This time Toledo, Ohio.................let's start the email rolling......... Here's the Mayors email: mayor.toledo@toledo.oh.gov

What is it about elected officials that don't get it? They hold their positions as a result of the lives, blood, body parts, family sacrifices of our military members. Doesn't Mayor Finkbeiner understand that Toledo may one day have an Islamic terrorists target his city and may need Marine urban warfare trained Marines.....

Another disgusting display of dishonoring America, and our Marines.............

Harry Riley, COL, USA, Ret

Mayor kicks Marines out of Toledo

1-24th Marines were scheduled for weekend urban warfare training in downtown
Toledo, when Carty gave them the boot

http://www.nbc24.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=94192

TOLEDO, OH -- Mayor Carty Finkbeiner on Friday ordered some
200 members of Company A, 1st Battalion, 24th
Marines from Grand Rapids, Michigan, out of Toledo just before the
unit was suppose to start a weekend of urban warfare
training downtown.

The mayor’s spokesperson Brian Schwartz said, “the mayor
asked them to leave because they frighten people. He did not want them
practicing and drilling in a highly visible area."

Toledo police said they knew about the training and had approved the unit’s
use of the Madison Building and the Promenade Park area. The
training was scheduled to start Friday afternoon and last until
Sunday. Police said the unit’s presence would have a minimal impact
on the city. Police issued a press release earlier in the week
saying the marines would be wearing green camouflage uniforms, operate military
vehicles, carry rifles, perform foot patrols, and fire blank ammunitiion during
the exercise.

Schwartz said there was a breakdown in communication between police and the
Finkbeiner administration that led to the mayor’s action.

“The marines drilled here three times during the Ford administration and once
under the Finkbeiner administration. After the last visit, the mayor told
then police chief Jack Smith, that he did not want the marines back.
Smith failed to inform the current police administration of the mayor’s
feelings,” Schwartz said.

NBC24 spoke to Jack Smith who recalled that after the marines last
visit, he and the mayor had a heated exchange about the training.

“He told me he did not want them, as he put it, 'playing war in Toledo,'"
Smith recalled. "I told him, as a former marine, that if one young
marine’s life is saved because of training he or she received in Toledo, Ohio,
then it was worth the inconvenience.”

Smith said if the mayor objected, then he should have been the
one to convey those feelings to police. Smith took his run-in with the
mayor as an objection to that last visit, and not future training in
Toledo.

As a result, the Toledo police went ahead, granting approval to the
1-24th Marines to conduct the routine exercise. The police
notified members of the Finkbeiner administration, who were not aware that the
mayor objected to unit’s training in Toledo.

When the mayor found out, he sent a member of his staff to tell marines they
could not conduct urban operations in Toledo.

The unit was notified about 3:30 p.m. after an advance team arrived in
Toledo. Five buses carrying some 200 marines traveled four hours
from Grand Rapids, only to find out the training had been shot down.

The unit briefly stopped at a another 1-24th marine base in
Perrysburg Township, then returned back to Grand Rapids where training was
expected to be held this weekend.

A spokesperson for the marines said they were disappointed by the mayor’s
decision especially after the city had been so helpful in the
past.

Most recent is the despicable decision by Berkeley, CA City Council to rail against our Marine recruiters and side with a communist based group of women called Code Pink, that don't know their posterior from a hole in ground.  The Berkeley City Council openly and formally view our Marine recruiters with disdain, a nuisance, scream for the Marines removal, and assail them as liars, while embracing the misfits of Code Pink.

Recently in Okaloosa County, Florida, a retired Colonel was preparing to board a commercial airline and was told his military identification card was not acceptable as personal proof to board the aircraft.  The Colonel took exception but eventually was required to use another form of proof...he used his "concealed weapons" permit to gain access to the aircraft.

Herb,

Is John Campbell a State or Federal Congressman???

If federal, I wonder why he would not be content to join with the SC Congressman, I can't remember his name, in pulling funding from Berkeley????

TD,

The person you are talking about from SC is "Senator" Jim DeMint, R-S.C.

DeMint to Berkeley: Support Our Marines or Lose Federal Funds

Quote:
 
January 31st, 2008 - Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) released the following statement in response to the decision by the City Council of Berkeley, California to evict the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station from the city.

“This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families. The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money. If the city can’t show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer funded handouts. I am currently drafting legislation to ensure that American taxpayers aren’t forced to pay for this insult by rescinding all of the earmarks for Berkeley in the Omnibus Appropriations bill, and to transfer the funds to the Marine Corps.”


OOOOORRRRAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! smiley-patriotic-flag-wave

So now this bill potentially has a patriotic author in both the House and the Senate.

This is truly disgusting... We must help to make sure this doesn't happen again!

From the site...

---First and foremost, we absolutely support our troops fighting for our country. The purpose of this web site is to request signatures for a petition and to urge people to write their congress representative to establish proper mortuary services in Iraq for our fallen soldiers. Our fallen family hero, 21 year old Sgt. Paul Saylor, died in Iraq on August 15th, 2005, and was returned to our family in an unnecessary state of decomposition so severe that viewing was impossible only 3 days after his death. Our family feels that the viewing would have provided closure and given us a chance to say our final goodbye to our hero.

According to the Army Mortuary Services in Dover, Delaware, the current military procedures are to pack fallen soldiers in ice and then transport them to the United States Dover Air Force Base for a three step process:

1) Identification, which includes DNA, dental and fingerprinting
2) Perform autopsy
3) Embalming and preparation of the body

Paul was not even refrigerated. If a proper mortuary facility was in place in Iraq, we would have been able to say our final goodbyes. We don't want this to happen to another soldier's family!

All fallen soldiers deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and establishing proper mortuary services in Iraq will ensure no future family members are denied their final goodbye to their American hero who died for our country. Please help us fight for those who fight for us by placing your name on the online petition on this website, and by going to the link www.congress.org, finding your government representative's address, and letting them know that you will not stand for this disrespect to be done to one more American hero. -----

INGAC,

Your post here is an insult to our men and women whom have paid the ultimate price in the War on Terror.

As a troll, you have deliberately posted this here as a political statement.

What are your comments about how Code Pink and the city council of Berkely are treating our US Marines?

That was my feelings on that post also. I wonder if she read the thing all the way through? It was in August and during that time of year it's pretty hot there, things decompose rapidly in heat. A few years back I found a body in a car that had run off the road in the heat of Summer and it wasn't as hot as it is in Iraq. That body in the car was pretty badly decomposed and was only there a few days. Heat and dead bodies don't go together. I guess we will need to be sending ice to Iraq to see if it will melt in the hot desert sun next, to satisfy some peoples emotions and politics. Or maybe before a war gets under way, we can refrigerate the entire country ahead of time or only pick places like the south or north pole to conduct any wars in the future.
