PSST: The Ad Code Pink & Berkeley Council Don’t Want You to See! (UPDATE: Sorry Berkeley Mayor Still Won’t Apologize)

Update, from Ryan Gill, of MAF:

Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates says he’s still refusing to apologize for calling Marine recruiters “uninvited” and “unwelcome intruders” and told NBC yesterday that he doesn’t want them in town.

The comments came in response to the new ad campaign by the pro-troop organization, Move America Forward, which is fighting back against the Berkeley City Council. At least one city councilmember, however, disagrees with Bates - she says the council needs to face the reality that they owe our troops an apology.

See the fantastic NBC report here:

(Original Post, 02/21/08)…from Mary Pearson:

We at Move America Forward are proud to release to you this brand-new ad that takes on the Berkeley City Council’s campaign against the military.

We’re fighting back and want you to see this ad and then pass it on to others. Please email it to others, post to blogs - let’s get the word out!! The ad will begin airing nationwide starting this upcoming Monday. Until then Move America Forward will be raising money to buy as much airtime as possible!

    I signed the petition as well. I agree with that one Army vets statement; the Berkely City Council and Code Pink are a bunch of ingrates. Actually, I have a better term for that but I prefer not to use that kind of language. :)

    Thanks to bloggers like you you’ve made the story about the ad the most-watched video on the NBC 11 website. Thanks for your help in the pushback against Berkeley!
