Support Veterans for Peace

We support our troops and the many families who say " bring them home now", an organization which is mobilizing military families, veterans, and GIs themselves to demand an end to the occupation of Iraq.


Parents: Because of a little known provision of the No Child Left Behind Act, public high schools must hand over personal information about students -- including minors -- to local military recruiters.

You may have you child's name removed from the recruiters list by sending a letter to your school's district superintendent, for additional information and/or to tell your friends see:   Leave my child alone.org
