Apparently the draft bill is going to be debated today. I'm not sure how they discover this information though, other than knowing someone inside the beltway. Maybe this draft dodging talk isn't so crazy. It's is interesting that this issue is coming up for debate while simultaneously things are heating up for a war on Iran. Not the mention I've been hearing radio ads lately telling males to sign up for selective service.

Mandatory Draft Bill
Snuck In - To Be
Debated 6-6-6
6-4-6
On February 14, 2006, Congressman Charles Rangel (Democrat - 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.
