* NATIONAL DAY OF COUNTER-RECRUITMENT *
December 6, 2005
Campus Antiwar Network

* Say No to the Solomon Amendment!

Campus Anti-War Network is calling for actions around the country to
show the federal government that they cannot intimidate schools for
kicking out military recruiters. On December 6, the Supreme Court will
hear the FAIR v Rumsfeld case (brought by several universities), which
will decide whether schools can ban military recruiters wihout losing
federal funding. Currently, the Solomon Amendment allows the government
to cut off federal funding from schools that ban military recruiters.
This policy forces schools to accept military recruitment, even though
the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy violates
university anti-discrimination policies.

* Bring the movement for COLLEGE NOT COMBAT to your town!On Dec 6, when the Supreme Court hears FAIR v Rumsfeld, students will
hold protests at military recruiting stations, federal buildings and
school administrative offices across the country, including in San
Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York City, and many
other places. In Washington, D.C., a demonstration will take place on
the steps of the Supreme Court.

We are proud to join the fight against anti-gay discrimination in the
military. We also believe that recruitment for the war in Iraq has no
place in schools. Our action comes amid increasing revelations of the
horror of the Iraq occupation. Recent video footage shows that the US
used chemical weapons (white phosphorus) in Fallujah, laying bare the
truth about exactly who is using "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.
Nobody should have to take part in this to pay for school! On December
6, we refuse to let the military recruit young people to kill and die
in a war based on lies.

December 6 is also the one-year anniversary of Navy petty officer Pablo
Paredes's refusal to board his ship in protest of the war, which
sparked a national campaign that displayed and strengthened the growing
refusal of soldiers to fight this war. Recently, the counter-
recruitment movement won a massive victory in San Francisco, where 60%
of voters approved a College Not Combat proposition to oppose military
recruiters in schools and support scholarships to counteract the
poverty draft -- which targets the poor and people of color. Today,
with the Bush administration in a growing crisis and expanding calls
for immediate withdrawal, we want to spread the "College Not Combat"
movement across the country!

Let's mobilize on Dec 6 to counter the military's ability to wage its
illegal war, support the right of universities to oppose military
recruiting on their campuses, and bring the troops home from Iraq!

Say No to the Solomon Amendment!
COLLEGE NOT COMBAT! TROOPS OUT NOW!
