Mandatory draft for boys and girls (18-26)
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION!
Mandatory draft for boys and girls (ages 18-26)
starting June 15, 2005, is
something that everyone should know about. This
literally effects everyone
since we all have or know children that will have to
go if this bill passes.
There is pending legislation in the house and senate
(twinbills: S89 and HR
163) which will time the program's initiation so the
draft can begin as
early as spring, 2005, just after the 2004
presidential election. The
administration is quietly trying to get these bills
passed now, while the
public's attention is on the elections, so our action
on this is needed
immediately. Details and links follow.
This plan, among other things, eliminates higher
education as a shelter and
includes women in the draft. Also, crossing into
Canada has already been
made very difficult.
Actions:
Please send this on to all the parents and teachers
you know, and all the
aunts and uncles, grandparents, godparents. . . And
let your children know
- - it's their future, and they can be a powerful
voice for change!
This legislation is called HR 163 and can be found in
detail at this
website:
http://thomas.loc.gov/
Just enter in "HR 163" and click search and will bring
up the bill for
you to read. It is less than two pages long.
If this bill passes, it will include all men and ALL
WOMEN from ages 18 - 26
in a draft for military action. In addition, college
will no longer be an
option for avoiding the draft and they will be signing
an agreement with the
Canada which will no longer permit anyone attempting
to dodge the draft to
stay within it's borders. This bill also includes the
extention of military
service for all those that are currently active. If
you go to the selcet
service web site and read their 2004 FYI Goals you
will see that the
reasoning for this is to increase the size of the
military in case of
terrorism. This is a critical piece of legislation,
this will effect our
undergradates, our children and our grandchildren.
Please take the time to
write your congressman and let them know how you feel
about this
legislation.

Please also write to your representatives and ask them
why they aren't
telling their constituents about these bills and write
to newspapers and
other media outlets to ask them why they're not
covering this important
story.
The draft $28 million has been added to the 2004
selective service system
budget to prepare for a military draft that could
start as early as June 15,
2005. Selective service must report to Bush on March
31, 2005 that the
system, which has lain dormant for decades, is ready
for activation.

System annual performance plan, fiscal year 2004.
The pentagon has quietly begun a public campaign to
fill all 10,350 draft
board positions and 11,070 appeals board slots
nationwide. Though this is
an unpopular election year topic, military experts and
influential members
of congress are suggesting that if Rumsfeld's
prediction of a "long, hard
slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan (and permanent state of
war on terrorism)
proves accurate, the U.S. may have no choice but to
draft.

entitled the
Universal National service Act of 2003, "to provide
for the common defense
by requiring that all young persons (age 18-26) in the
United States,
including women, perform a period of military service
or a period of
civilian service in furtherance of the national
defense and homeland
security, and for other purposes." These active bills
currently sit in the
committee on armed services. Dodging the draft will
be more difficult than
those from the Vietnam era. College and Canada will
not be options. In
December, 2001, Canada and the U.S. signed a "smart
border declaration,"
which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in.
Signed by Canada's
minister of foreign affairs, John Manley, and U.S.
Homeland Security
director, Tom Ridge, the declaration involves a 30
point plan which
implements, among other things, a "pre-clearance
agreement" of people
entering and departing each country.
Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable along
gender and class
lines also eliminates higher education as a shelter.
Underclassmen would
only be able to postpone service until the end of
their current semester.
Seniors would have until the end of the academic year.

Tell your friends
Contact your legislators and ask them to oppose these
bills
Just type "congress" into the aol search engine and

A list of your reps will pop up with a way to email
them directly. We can't
just sit and pretend that by ignoring it, it will go
away. We must voice our
concerns and create the world we want to live in for
our children and
grandchildren.
