bmwcyle is right. Code Pink (and similar groups) are all over the country. Please try to find out what their doing in your area and counter it. It could be as simple as pressurizing (letter-writing, phone calls, going to meetings) your local school boards to NOT cave in to leftist attempts to block military recruiters from getting lists of high school students.
In addition the particular counter-recruitment action and FReeps discussed above, the left are mounting a campaign of letters to school boards and other actions specifically designed to cripple military recruitment.
Below are some addresses detailing the left's counter-recruitment efforts. Cut and paste into your browser window, lest they get links which elevate their places on search engines.

Appreciate your nice comments.
See my #138 about some things that you may be able to do in your community.
Coop had earlier said 21 as well. I counted repeatedly, and had others count for me, and came up with 20. (That's not counting the Vietnam vet and his two family members who talked for a while and were given the Club Gitmo air-conditioner hand-fans made by 3D-Joy.)
Did I miscount or leave someone off the list (i.e., honor roll in part II of the report)?
Taxman Bravo Zulu! for two great FReeps, after action reports and photos!
I'll get there to FReep these creeps with you. Just be patient with me!
Gospel! :-)
BTW, we've decided to feature Fran O'Brien's Steakhouse owners/employees as heroes on the HAT site. Should have thought of it earlier, but listening to our friend's discussion of the bus trip home brought their tremendous efforts to my attention again.
Hey! I was thinking of you yesterday and today listening to Hannity talk about Boortz's book on eliminating the IRS and all taxes except a sales tax (IIRC). :-)
Who Pays For These Demonstrations? re: ANSWER
Office space for Code Pink is provided by NOW and The Institute for Policy Studies
More good stuff here.
And this Liberal Arts major's bio matters....how?
Git 'R Done!
Hope to see you out there!
No time like the present! If you're not within reasonable driving distance of D.C., you can still support the troops through a variety of means (one source here) and/or write letters to the editor in support of our armed forces personnel and their mission.
Grrrrr. I completely missed these &*^@#$%! desecrating Arlington National Cemetery. Thank you and all the others for defending hallowed ground.
Know your enemy, they are more than just bad pink clothing.
Instead of your worthless sarcasm, why don't you drive down from PA and help on a Friday?
I feel comfortable in proclaiming that they are NOT professional sign makers.
I ask my wife, "I wonder if they know you can't read their signs?"
Ping
Facial recognition software. We need more prisoners at GITMO."
That statement made me lose some coffee. Very funny, probably had the poor guy scared to death.! I wish I lived in D.C. just so I could come. Maybe one day we could take a vacation your way and I could come help. I would love to shake each of your hands for the job you do. Thanks for your efforts.
Could you add me to your ping list?
