One of the interesting stories of the complete lack of understanding of how we get the ability to have free speech run amok has been the Berkeley City Council making an ordinance requiring US military recruiting offices to be dealt with like they do with porn shops, and not like a regular business establishment.

One Nicholas Provenzo, a Marine Vet, has put up an online petition to let the “leadership” (and I use the word loosely) of Berkeley that you think this is over the top. Part of the petition deals with a measure from Congress to withhold Federal funds from Berkeley until they reverse this zoning restriction.

Pass it along, spread the word, email it out, post it on your blogs and the bulletin boards at work. Lend a signature to the list if you feel so inclined.
