"Opt-in" - Family Privacy Protection Act
Please contact your representative in the U.S.
House and either ask them to sign on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 551 or thank them
for doing so if they already have.
H.R. 551 was introduced by Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA)
and would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and would
basically reverse the current "opt-out" status quo. This bill, known as the
Family Privacy Protection Act, would require that parents consent in writing
BEFORE their child's name, address, and phone number are released to
military recruiters.
This bill would be a major boon to
counter-recruiting efforts! No Wisconsin Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors. Please take action ASAP!
