The Daily Planet received a copy of the following letter addressed to the members of the City Council: 

Thank you so much for your courageous vote in taking a stand to end the bombing in Afghanistan as soon as possible. 

It is a serious mistake to argue against a stand of conscience based on economic considerations. Berkeley’s economy will do better in the long run, by doing what is right, and you have done that. 

I am proud to be a member of Berkeley’s business community. (family practice physician in Berkeley since 1979.) 

I am also proud of Berkeley’s history of thoughtful progressive stands, from Ron Dellums in the 60’s and beyond, to the present. 

Thank you, Berkeley! You make me proud!
