Demonstration at U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Center, 8202 Georgia
Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland set for Friday, May 27, from 5:00
pm. to 7:00 pm

You've heard of David McSwane, the 17 year-old who walked
into a recruiting station in Colorado and told the recruiter he was
a high school dropout and a pot head? Actually, McSwane was
neither, but the recruiter suggested he draw up a fake diploma and
take certain drugs to hide the marijuana in his urine.

Now there's the story of Army Recruiter, Sgt. Thomas Kelt of
Houston, Texas who threatened a potential recruit with arrest if he
did not report to the Recruiting Center at the local mall:

Protest at U.S. Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Silver Spring,
Maryland set for Friday, May 27th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm


Beneath banners that read "Truth, Honor & Integrity"
military recruiters lie, steal, cheat forge, hide and deal to entice
young people to join the United States armed forces. They're driven
by quotas they haven't been able to fill. Fewer are willing to die
for lies.

Join us on Friday, May 27th at 5:00 pm for a nonviolent,
spirited confrontation in front of the Armed Forces Recruiting
Station at 8202 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, Maryland. The station
is located a few blocks from the Silver Spring Metro at the
intersection of Silver Spring Ave. and Georgia Ave. (from the South
Side Metro Exit, walk one block east on Bonifant St. to Georgia
Avenue, then right 2 blocks to the recruiting station.)

Driving from DC, the recruiting station is on the left,
about two blocks past East-West Highway (Rt. 410).

This demonstration is sponsored by the DC Antiwar Network,
(DAWN)

Ideas for signs:

Stop the lies!
Tell the truth!
