Everyone,
I very rarely ever send out anything political, but this issue is one that will eventually affect everyone if it is left unchecked. Senate has a proposed two bills which, if instated, would essentially reestablish a mandatory military draft. HOWEVER, unlike the previous draft, this draft WILL NOT EXEMPT WOMEN OR COLLEGE STUDENTS. Escape to Canada is also NOT AN OPTION.
A draft such as this one will tear away the fabric that holds this nation together. Our best and brightest students will be forced from their studies to risk their lives, which will take hundreds of potentially powerful thinkers out of their fields. Women, th e child bearers and lifeblood of our nation, will also be risking their lives. The potentially crippling affects of this draft are staggering.
All I ask is to spread the word. Whenever these bills come up, SHOOT THEM DOWN. The government must know that we, the people of the United States, are NOT SATISFIED with these propositions!! Stay informed, and if you are able to vote, make your voice heard.

Now I know how Daffy felt in "Draftee Daffy" ... :sad:
