THE DRAFT - BUSH NEEDS MORE WARM BODIES FOR CANNON FODDER

FOR A LONG TIME I HAVE FELT LIKE CASSANDRA, CRYING PROPHECIES OF DOOM AND NO ONE LISTENS, A VOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, UNHEARD.

I HAVE TOLD ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN THAT BUSH WOULD INITIATE THE DRAFT. NOW IT IS UP FOR A VOTE. IF BUSH WANTS IT, WILL CONGRESS GIVE IT TO HIM?

Universal National Service Act of 2006 introduced to the House. HR4752IH. Any way you title it, it is D-R-A-F-T. Not just your sons, your daughters too. And if you are between the ages of 18-42, that means YOU TOO. Both men AND women. For military duty and CIVILIAN duty as determined by the President. Drafted for civilian duty? Just what duty do you think the Decider can dream up? Where? Doing what?

If this on again, off again, gone again government url doesn't work, go to http://www.whatreallyhappened.com , scroll down, WAY-Y-Y down to a one line title "A Bill for a Military Draft Already Making Its Way Through Congress" and click on the title. So far it has worked each time.

Note "...military service or...civilian service...national defense and homeland security, and for OTHER PURPOSES." What other purposes? "...as defined by the President." He's the Decider. Now he's the Definer. Says so several times in the text.

Thanks to Granny for this:

News article re: Rangel and the bill. Check links at end of article for more info.

Don't be misled if the Repub. Congress defeats the bill to make themselves heroes right before the election in order to boost themselves at the voter booths. This is the second time this has come up and sooner or later it WILL pass. The third time may be the charm. Bush and the Neocons' war policies and drive to control the world's oil demand an expanded military. Recruitment has plummeted so the draft is the only alternative.

During WWII civilians took over many jobs and duties that had previously been filled by the men who went off to war. They did so voluntarily because they supported the war against Germany and Japan and did all they could to support the war effort. Today, civilian support is very low so drafting civilians is an alternative.

What about my job? What about my kids? What about my college? These are questions every soldier has asked when about to be deployed. Now it appears anyone, citizens and RESIDENTS (how about you immigrants?)
can ask the same questions. But don't worry, the Decider will decide for you.

Read it and weep. And start deluging your Congressperson with protests, for what good it will do.
