A MODEST PROPOSAL: BADNARIK SAYS “END THE DRAFT THREAT PERMANENTLY”
October 24 — Farmington Hills, MI - George W. Bush dismisses it as an “Internet rumor.” John Kerry says it’s already here and that it came in through the “back door.” Both claim that there will be no military draft on their watch – and neither has squared that position with their announced plans to expand a shrinking army and extend the US occupation of Iraq. But, says Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik, it isn’t really that complicated. “If President Bush and Senator Kerry are serious about putting these rumors to bed, they can do so before the election,” says Badnarik. “The president can call a special session of Congress. Senator Kerry can draft legislation repealing the Selective Service Act on his plane en route to Washington. With Congress in a hurry to get back on the campaign trail, there should be no problem getting the bill debated and passed in one day – IF the Republicans and Democrats are serious when they say they oppose the draft.” Badnarik won’t hold his breath, though.

While I don't think a draft will happen from either of these 2 candidates why not give the American people the security they want.
