Draft?
    #2717915 - 05/23/04 10:18 AM (19 years, 10 months ago)

Not sure if this has been covered or not, but it has me semi-worried. I already wrote emails to all my local newspapers asking them to cover this as I hadn't seen anything on it before. Here's the site.

We have talked about this before, but it's worth bringing up again.




In addition to writing local news outlets, you can influence public policy by writing your congressman.

You can find your congressman's contact information at:
http://www.house.gov/writerep/


Your congressman is your representative: of all the ellected officials of the federal government, he is the one with a direct local connection. Along with voting and public discussion, letting your representative know what you think is the established method of influencing national public policy.

Thanks, and I will do. Anyone have a prewritten letter I could send? I'm not too good with formalities.

heh this is the 3rd thread on this, one here, one in the pub and one in OTD. In any case I don't think this particular incarnation of the draft will get any where. Unless Bush gets "re"-elected this november, if he does.. I wonder how long it'll take me to pick up an australian accent?

If he gets re-elected, I wonder how long it will take me to engage in my right to bare arms.

Early drafts of the second ammendment prohibited a draft. Its a damn shame they removed that part of the bill of rights.

The Thirteenth Ammendment prohibits slavery. I think that should count.

For some odd reason, it seems the vast majority of those who support the draft are those who will never be drafted themselves

But just for comical purposes, I do hope they instate it and see the huge backlash as I watch it all up in BC  :smirk:

I think so too, but unfortunately it doesn't.

I've actually been wondering lately if anyone's tried challenging the draft on those grounds, and if so, I wonder what justification the Supreme Court gave for why the draft doesn't count as slavery or involuntary servitude.

Typical Orwellian double-speak. Of course freedom is free. It costs nothing for people to leave me alone.
