Call Rep. Rick Larsen and request that he co-sponsor H.R. 5507, introduced by Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, titled the “Fully-Funded United States Military Redeployment and Sovereignty of Iraq Restoration Act of 2008,” introduced on February 27, 2008. This bill cuts off funding for combat and provides only enough money to safely withdraw our combat troops and military contractors within one year of the enactment of the bill.

There is a local Citizen’s Petition you can sign. Stop by WPJC (Mondays or Thursdays 1-4pm) or the weekly Peace Vigil at 4pm on Fridays to sign. To help circulate petitions, call Bill at (360) 671-4462.

MILITARY RECRUITER ALERT!!!!

Your high school could be providing military recruiters with your child’s private contact information!

Under the 2002 “No Child Left Behind” law, all public high schools MUST provide their kids’ names, home phone numbers, and home addresses to military recruiters or lose federal funding.

How can you make sure your child’s personal information stays protected from military recruiters?

Sign the Opt-Out form and send it to your child’s high school. Families have a RIGHT under the “No Child Left Behind” law to prohibit the release of personal information for military recruitment purposes.

Click here for a PDF document of the form.

Other school districts may have different deadlines; call yours to find out.
