Here's To Berkeley

The phone lines are busy right now, but I did send an email that will only be counted, not read. It shouldn't take them too long to determine my lack of support.

Sirs:

I was always under the impression that California was made up of all kinds of people, but I didn't know it included despicable, pretentious politicians of the kind your fair city has. Your actions regarding the United States Marine Corps are reprehensible to say the least, and traitorous in the eyes of many. If it were in my power, your city would never again receive even one penny from the federal government if you enact your manifesto.

I thought cutting off your money was better than declaring martial law and letting the Marines take over, although I wouldn't be terribly bothered by that either. I think it would make for great reality TV, and just think of the money and residuals you'd get from NBC!

The United States Marines and all of our Armed Forces protect even back-stabbing quislings such as you so you can do your ignoble best. You're Americans, just not the kind I'd ever care to associate with.

With contempt,
