This video was put together by Rep. DeMint’s people.

And it was sent to me by the American Family Association.

You may not be aware of the situation in Berkeley, California. The mainstream media has not been reporting on it. Here is the situation. The Berkeley City Council has told the Marine Recruiting Office to get out of Berkeley.

Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina has put together a video that shows you explicitly what the City Council members of Berkeley said about our Marines and the effort to force the recruiters to leave the city. They include comments from the Mayor who says that the Marines “don’t belong here in Berkeley.”

These people aren’t just against the war, they are against our soldiers who are fighting and dying in that war.

The video also includes rebuttal by veterans of this nation who are outraged by the conduct of this city council. I hope you will send the letter and forward it to friends and family. The letters will go straight to the Mayor and City Council members.

It’s an AFA Action alert, so it’s asking people to do something.

Read the letter from Debbie Lee, whose son was killed in action.

Read the statement from U.S. Senators DeMint, Cornyn, Vitter, Coburn, Inhofe, and Chambliss.

hoooeeeEEE! This story is just beginning to get out to the American people…and I can tell you right now…when it gets to enough families of current serving marines and former serving military folks, those self-loathing leftists are going to be in for a big surprise.

Here’s a link to Sign The Petition Against Berkeley’s Anti-Military Actions! (At Move America Forward) -mentioned in the video.

*** Also… If you can, please join our patriots for the “picketing” of the City Council Chambers. They will be out there at 2134 Martin Luther King, Jr. Way beginning at 5:00 AM for the morning news. They will have a presence throughout the day – the next newscasts are at 12:00 Noon, so it’ll be good to have a visible presence there during that period, as well.

Keep that pressure on and pass on the news…!

Support the Semper Fi Act of 2008:

Bill Stops Berkeley Earmarks and Transfers Funds to Marine Corps

OK & TX U.S. Senators Introduce Semper Fi Act of 2008.

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senators James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), Tom Coburn, M.D. (R-Oklahoma), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and David Vitter (R-Louisiana) introduced the Semper Fi Act of 2008. The bill would rescind over $2 million in hidden earmarks for Berkeley, California in the 2008 Omnibus Appropriations bill, and transfer the funds to the Marine Corps. U.S. Congressman John Campbell (R-California) is introducing a companion bill in the House of Representatives. […]

One earmark provides $243,000 in taxpayer dollars for the organization Chez Panisse to create gourmet organic school lunches in the Berkeley School District. Chez Panisse is dedicated to “environmental harmony” and their menu features “Comté cheese soufflé with mâche salad,” “Meyer lemon éclairs with huckleberry coulis,” and “Chicory salad with creamy anchovy vinaigrette and olive toast.”

Another earmark would spend $975,000 in taxpayer dollars for the University of California in Berkeley Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service, to create a new endowment and cataloging the papers of Congressman Robert Matsui. U.C. Berkeley currently already has a $3.5 billion endowment.

Rock’n'roll!!!!

Sample letter to your representatives supporting the Semper Fi Act is at the United Conservatives of Virginia - where wingtips fear to tread!

Let’s go ahead and have some Peace– through superior firepower!
