Yes that is one reason why is eneded up as a Non Binding Referendum, they realizedwhat was at stake, also I am not taking ANY position on it only relaying what i have read i am neither Pro or Con on it to many issues in my own state to deal with

My other "guess" is that had it happeneded anywhere else is would not have gotten the publicity it did, Berkley has a ong Anti War history, if this vote had been taken in cleveland, chicago ect i am not sure as much press coverage would have been made
BTW there are many Repbulican thatdo NOT lie the act as they feel it infriges on the country right of freedon of expression

But on the Plus side, it shows our freedom oas American Ciizens to express our beliefs and feeling and not go to jail over it
