Iraq Moratorium Day
National Day of Action
Against the Military Recruiters

More and more military recruitment centers have recently opened to pull high school students into the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Stop the business as usual of dragging youth into the war machine!

With righteous indignation, ridicule, and reality, we will gather students, antiwar activists, and many others, to say NO! We're going on FIVE years of this immoral, unjust war. The people must stop it.

Actions in Berkeley, California have repeatedly shut down the new recruiting station near Berkeley High School and the city council of Berkeley California recently passed a resolution that this new recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders." Pro-war Senators are threatening to take the city's federal money away, and pro-war protesters are vilifying the council’s stand against the war. As this notice goes out, FOX NEWS has been covering this story as it develops in Berkeley.

More people should take the stand of those in Berkeley - it needs to spread across the country. The majority of people in this country ARE against the war and ARE against torture, and many people ARE searching for something beyond protest-as-usual to end the war.

This is no time to be complacent. The military is now spending more than $4 Billion on recruiting and they're in the process of opening new recruitment centers across the country.

Military recruiters will often lie to potential recruits about life in the military, a fact substantiated by the GAO and all the major media outlets.

The soldiers in the Silver Spring station spend their day making calls and mailing notices to unsuspecting youth who attend local high schools, using confidential lists provided by school officials.

Last week, Major General Thomas P. Bostick, Commander of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, (USAREC) testified before the Military Personnel Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate. The Major General asked Senators to change the law so that parents would no longer be allowed to "opt out" of lists being forwarded by high school administrators to the military. He said access to our nation's schools and student information is critical to military recruiting. This is outrageous. We're on the street. JOIN US!
