The city of '''Berkeley''', [[California]], is home to a large branch of the [[University of California]], specifically [[University of California, Berkeley]] and is known for its very [[liberal]] politics, which at times has even included official positions on foreign policy. Berkeley was designated [[United States|America's]] third-most liberal city.<ref>http://www.govpro.com/News/Article/31439/</ref>
In January 2008, the Berkeley City Council declared that the [[Marines]] are "uninvited and unwelcome intruders" in Berkeley.
