Video Shows Confrontation as Cops Remain ‘Neutral’
“We’re trying to remain neutral as possible.”
Yes you guessed it, we’re “NOT NEUTRAL” and lean more towards ballistic.
We Leave at 05:00 am Monday 2/11/2008 - Parking lot , Littleton CO.
Destination Berkeley City Council - 2134 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Berkeley, CA
(1,270 miles from Denver or about 18 hours travel time one way)
We plan on being there before 5:00 am on Tuesday
Just Like Debbie Lee said
* TIME: 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 at that time as well.
If code Pink wants to block the Marines doors on Wednesday — we may stay longer. 
Seats may be available - email us
Join the Caravan here or along the way
Ride with us some
or come to see us off (4:40 am - 5:00 am - mini-rally).
What should we tell the Berkeley city council?
Eagles UP!
Check the map and email them if you wish to join the caravan along it's route!
I didn’t find a thread on it, so posted one here.
Mtn G-pa, here’s a thread about your trip!
It’s great you guys are joining Move America Forward again to help support our Great Troops!
Thanks, and see you soon!
I can’t make the trip, but I could send a small check if that would help. Where could I send it?
The petition
We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Council’s treasonous attack on US Marine Recruiters stationed in their city. We ask that Congress cut off funds from any and all municipal entity within the confines of the city of Berkeley, California, until such time as the city council withdraws it’s action.
The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and “if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests.”
The measure passed last week by a vote of 8-1.
The council also voted to explore enforcing a city anti-discrimination law, focusing on the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
In a separate item, the council voted, also 8-1, to give the Marxist protest group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week.

Bumping your thread. This was the demonstration on October 17th, and I think there was still room on the street for a few hundred more patriots. The Berkeley council has cursed the wind, now they may curse the whirlwind.
I’ll call a GOE friend in Colorado tomorrow and let you know.
It might be later there then it is here in California Normal Time
Thanks!
Believe me, there will be enough room for all the True Blue Patriotic Americans that show up.
That picture is the area in front of the Marine Recruiting Office, the City Council office is in another area, 2134 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. WAY. There is a big park across from it. Ironically named Martin Luther King Jr Park.
Thank you! I’ll get it right out.
bttt
I’ll be driving over on Tuesday afternoon.
Looking forward to seein’ y’all again.
HoooRaah!!!
Great Dave, glad you can make it!
Have a safe trip.
Have 2 sons that were Marines, wish I could join you guys.
