According to CNN.com, the city council of Berkley, CA voted (7-2) to revoke their earlier vote that said Marine recruiters were not welcome in the city. Now, the city is simply saying that it is opposed to war, but that they acknowledge a recruiter's right to be in Berkley, CA. Last week, Republican lawmakers in Washington responded by threatening that they would take away more then $2 million given to the University of California-Berkley. The Marine Corps, which is located two blocks away from the University, stated that they had no plans on moving their office.
