US Mandatory MILITARY DRAFT 18-42 quietly snuck in!
As described at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.4752.IH:
on February 14, 2006, Congressman Charles Rangel (NY) introduced a bill (Universal National Service Act of 2006 - HR 4752 IH) aiming at drafting everyone - men and women alike - from the ages of 18 to 42 into the military for a minimum period of 2 years. Or to quote the bill: "To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to 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." The House is to convene on June 6 (06/06/06] to debate and possibly adopt this bill, that is, unless a vast public outcry succeeds in derailing this insanity, which you can do by writing a letter of protest to your congress person through http://www.conservativeusa.org/mega-cong.htm or http://www.webslingerz.com/jhoffman/congress-email.html |

Heinlein would have loved it, but then again, he had a brain tumor ;-)
ug. of course I'll write in: I've also emailed both NPR & MPR asking for more information & if any of their programs will be covering this Bill & issue.
Of COURSE we need to force people into the Army... If it's not a forbidden activity, then it needs to be mandatory! | |
