April 29, 2010WASHINGTON -- A full-page ad opposing the relocation of the U.S. Marines' Futenma base within Okinawa Prefecture appeared in the April 28 edition of the Washington Post.
Sponsored by environmental and anti-war groups, the ad carries the message, "Would you want 30 military bases in your backyard?" in large letters at the top of the page, and shows a child clinging to a base's fence.
It also states that "Washington is pressuring Tokyo to ignore the voices of its citizens," and mentions the anti-base rally held in Okinawa on Sunday while calling on readers to "Stand up for democracy."
