Boycotting unAmerican city

Editor: 

Here is a letter I have sent to one of your local businesses. It is important for the City of Berkeley to remember that actions have consequences. The city has often chosen to boycott businesses to express displeasure with policy, now I can do the same to the city: 

 

Gentlemen, 

As far as I can determine, you are the only Bay Area dealer for what looks like a great line of sailing boots made by the New England Overshoe company. 

Unfortunately, you are located in Berkeley. Because your city government consistently takes positions that are hostile to the government of the United States, I refuse to shop there. If you think this is unfair, maybe you aren’t aware of the craziness your local government is up to. Check the link below, and email your City Council members if you disagree.
