Code Pink Bitch Lawyer Drafts Law Regulating Recruiters Like Porn Shops
Sharon Adams is a proud member of Code Pink, and a lawyer in Berkeley. She has drafted a zoning initiative for the November ballot that would regulate Military Recruiting offices the same way they regulate Porn shops.
Currently, to open a recruiting office, it falls under the regular business category, but if the initiative passes, then the military would need a permit to open a recruiting office in Berkeley, and it could not be opened within 600 feet of residential districts, public parks, public health clinics, public libraries, schools or churches.
Also, to obtain this permit, they would have to hold public hearings and await a public comment period.
From an article in The Daily Californian:
In response to a Marine Corps recruiting office established in Berkeley last year, local activists are trying to make it more difficult for future recruiting centers to open in the city.
If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would require military recruiting offices and private military companies in Berkeley to first acquire a special use permit.
To obtain this permit, a business must hold public hearings and a public comment period.
If the initiative passes, recruitment offices could not be opened within 600 feet of residential districts, public parks, public health clinics, public libraries, schools or churches.
Currently, a recruiting office is held to the same standards as most other businesses, which do not require a public hearing or have limits on where offices can be established.
The author of the initiative, Berkeley-based lawyer Sharon Adams, modeled the initiative after current zoning law that restricts the location of adult-oriented businesses.
“In the same way that many communities limit the location of pornographic stores, that’s the same way we feel about the military recruiting stations,” said PhoeBe sorgen, an initiative proponent and a member of the city’s Peace and Justice Commission. “Teenagers that really want to find them will be able to seek them out and find them, but we don’t want them in our face.”
The initiative lists complaints against the military including the invasion of Iraq, abuses at Abu Ghraib, discrimination based on sexual orientation and recruiters who mislead potential recruits about benefits and duties.
Recruiters from the office declined to comment.
The primary purpose of the new zoning law would be to protect young people from undue influence from military recruiters, supporters say.
“We feel that as a community we need to protect the youth,” Adams said. “We’re trying to level the playing field.”
Berkeley Councilmember Dona Spring said she supports the wording of the initiative, but said she would prefer the issue be passed by council so it can be enacted faster rather than waiting for the initiative to be placed on the ballot in November.
“I think we should just go ahead and pass it,” she said. “We can’t take everything to the voters.”
But some proponents are hesitant to pass the ordinance through the council because they feel it might be watered down by other council members.
In addition to making it more difficult for future military recruiting centers to be established, Spring also said she would support action that would remove the current office, which is in her district.
“I do want to do something, whatever we can do, to shut down an agency that � offends our public standards,” she said. “It’s a detriment, it’s a danger to the public.”
Code Pink has staged demonstrations against the recruitment center every Wednesday in front of the center on Shattuck Avenue since Sept. 26.
The Marine Recruitment Center, which has been located in Berkeley since mid-2007, is the only military recruitment center in Berkeley.
Proponents hope that this ordinance will become a template for communities around the country to follow.
“We hope this is a model for other places,” Adams said. “I have already gotten e-mails from people trying to duplicate this.”
How about “Fuck You, bitch!”

but its “Thin Red Line of Heroes” when the drums begin to play!
The drums begin to play my boys the drums begin to play
Its “Thin red line of heroes” when the drums begin to play!

January 28th, 2008 at 4:02 pmAnd to think our military fights for their right to be so bloody stupid. I will never wear pink (visibly) again.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:08 pmWe should just wall of that slime pit and annex it to China, or some other commie country.These despicable morons don’t deserve to have their freedoms protected.Better yet, give it to Iran. They would make quick work of the Pinky slime. Speaking of pink, I need some of that pink liquid.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:10 pmGlad you guys posted this one, I kinda figured you would so that’s why I sent you the news tip on it if you hadn’t already seen it. Been watching this one all day. The most offensive part for me is this line from the moonbat traitor:
“I do want to do something, whatever we can do, to shut down an agency that � offends our public standards,” she said. “It’s a detriment, it’s a danger to the public.”
What a load of disrespect for our military. Let’s start this civil war sooner than later, and start it in Berkeley!!! Give me the button and it’s on right now commie pieces of shit!
January 28th, 2008 at 4:22 pmOK … my memory isn’t what it used to be … but the internet to the rescue … Here’s the full monty:
I went into a public-’ouse to get a pint o’beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”;
But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins,” when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s “Thank you, Mr. Atkins,” when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but ‘adn’t none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-’alls,
But when it comes to fightin’, Lord! they’ll shove me in the stalls!
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, wait outside”;
But it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide,
The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide,
O it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide.
Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap;
An’ hustlin’ drunken soldiers when they’re goin’ large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit.
Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy how’s yer soul?”
But it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.
We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints:
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, fall be’ind,”
But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind,
There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir,” when there’s trouble in the wind.
You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires an’ all:
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
January 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pmBut it’s “Saviour of ‘is country,” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
But Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool - you bet that Tommy sees
OK, that’s fine. Then if a city chooses to limit recruiting stations, then the feds should link and limit certain fed funds to that city. Just like when these large universities like Harvard and Yale, who get millions in fed funds (as I’m sure UC Berkeley does) say no military recruiters, the feds should say, “OK, no fed funds.”
January 28th, 2008 at 4:33 pm“and a lawyer in Berkeley”
I stopped reading after that. Where is that earthquake CA is expecting? As I live in SoCal, I hope no one is injured when it comes. I do however hope that Berkeley is torn off and floats its sorry ass across the Pacific.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pmThe statement that they believe they should just pass it and not take it to the voters tells you everything about them.
They don’t care what the people think, and won’t take it to the people to make up their own choice.
Just like most liberals I deal with. They speak of freedoms such as freedom of choice and freedom of speech. However if it is in contrast of what they believe they don’t think it should be heared and don’t want to hear it.
January 28th, 2008 at 4:53 pm““I think we should just go ahead and pass it,” she said. “We can’t take everything to the voters.””
“But some proponents are hesitant to pass the ordinance through the council because they feel it might be watered down by other council members.”
Oh my, a dilemma. The voters can’t be trusted and some council members might water down Code Pink’s special project. What to do, what to do? WTF you assclowns think you’re running, a monarchy or an anarchy?
I agree — cut off their federal funding. Then, next time they have an oil spill in the Bay, let them break out the sponges or better yet, light a fire but don’t come crying to the Coast Guard. After all, you don’t want them “in your face.”

January 28th, 2008 at 5:18 pmI used to think they were just fellow Americans who have a different opinion about how to solve problems. That they don’t hate everything America has always stood for. That they wouldn’t take the side of any vicious state or group that makes itself our enemies. I haven’t thought that for a long time.
I’ve reached the point where not only do I not think of them as fellow Americans, I don’t think of them as people.
It’s been said that dictators need to dehumanize whoever they declare the enemy, so the people will support whatever he has done to them. The lefties have managed to do that all by their lonesomes.
To me, they are simply the enemy. If I saw a hippie running on fire, screaming for help, I would smile. And probably reach for more gas.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:23 pmJust remember, you are your brothers keeper…even if they are retarded and wearing pink…and wearing a pussy…and squawk…and…holy sh*t must they wear so much pink.
January 28th, 2008 at 5:27 pmFine, pass your rule. In response…there will be no more Federal funds for Berkley. Not the town, not the roads or the school. And from now on there will be no more code pink protests within 600 feet of any school, church or federal or state institution.

January 28th, 2008 at 7:58 pmI also do not think of them as Americans. Wish W could have addressed his words to his Fellow Morons (of course himself excluded) Gosh, I hate these people. They talk about Jughead as if he is the second coming instead of the empty suit that he is. Hillary who will cure everything and everyone even if they are not “sick”. They make me sick. We have become a nation of slobs and I am sorry to say women seem to be leading the way. Endorsed by Teddy–what a curse. What will it take to get rid of them?
January 28th, 2008 at 11:59 pmAs long as Berkeley gets any federal dollars then those taxpayer dollars should be taken away from them! But thanks to a few Senators from our Socialist State thats not going to happen. Most likely if the people’s republic of Kalifornia gets its way they will make California a “Military Free State”!
January 29th, 2008 at 6:20 amWith an all volunteer army I think this is a completely moot point. Nobody is forced or coerced into joining the military. Maybe one of these days these dykes will see the truth in that and take there ugly asses home.
January 29th, 2008 at 6:32 amoh please grow a beard, i cant stands it anymore .no more pink,no more pink!!
,why,what have we done to deserve this??
January 29th, 2008 at 7:22 ami can’t believe that people act like this. These Men and Women who willingly sign their names to the contracts are fighting for the people who live in this country. that would include the ignorant women who started code pink. “WILLINGLY”.. which part of that don’t any of the code pink members understand? The recruiters do not twist arms, they do not blackmail them. For some people, the military is all they have to do. It is their choice, find something else to do then defacing and vandalizing government property. Those people are fighting to save your dumb asses and your rights!!
