>Kids from Pentagon Recruiters
>
>This Memorial Day -- a day to commemorate those who have given their 
>lives in service to our country -- we find ourselves facing a 
>deepening quagmire in Iraq, with no end in sight.
>
>The military, not surprisingly, is having a difficult time 
>convincing Americans to enlist. Under pressure to maintain troop 
>levels in Iraq, abusive and unethical recruiting practices are on 
>the rise. In fact, just last week the Army took the unprecedented 
>step of ordering a one-day recruiting "stand down" in order to 
>address widespread problems within its own ranks.
>
>Because of a little known provision in No Child Left Behind, our 
>children are especially at risk. Public high schools are required to 
>provide local military recruiters with private contact information 
>for students, even minor children. The good news is, there's 
>something you can do to help parents opt their kids out of these 
>lists.
>
>Here's what you can do:
>
><http://act.actforchange.com/cgi-bin7/DM/y/hfsb0BBGaT0PPS0zKC0Eb>Attend 
>a Leave My Child Alone House Party or Meetup on June 1
>
>Join a local House Party or Meetup on Wednesday, June 1st. People 
>across the country will be gathering with neighbors and friends to 
>take action on "Leave My Child Alone," a project put together by 
>Working Assets, MMOB (Mainstreet Moms), and ACORN.
>
>At your local event, you can find out more about No Child Left 
>Behind's sneaky military recruitment requirement, take some 
>bite-size actions to help all of our children get opted out, and 
>lobby the local school district and school board to better protect 
>family privacy. Most important, you will connect with other people 
>in your community who want to help protect our children from 
>possible overreach by Pentagon recruiters.
