In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. And it officially encouraged the women's peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.
In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.

I cant remember which calihomo representative declared that America does not need a Military. They went on to say that local law enforcement offices were perfectly capable of defending this country. Doesn't surprise me to see this coming from Berkley. Maybe when that Indian tribe forms their own country we could send all our wackos to their nation.
