  1. KERRY'S SECRET DRAFT PLANS

    FOR AGES 18-26. MEN AND WOMEN. NO COLLEGE EXEMPTIONS. THIS NEEDS TO BE
    CIRCULATED AROUND ASAP. Subj: U.S. Military Draft expected to start under
    John Kerry - READ this

    Importance: High Subject: Military Draft expected under John Kerry If there
    are children in your family, READ this. John Kerry has now called for
    increasing the U.S. military by 40,000 troops, probably in order ``to match
    its new missions'' in the war on terror and homeland security."

    This includes sending more troops to Iraq.

    Kerry has gone on record as stating that "As President, John Kerry will call
    on young people to help strengthen America's security."

    There is pending legislation in the House and Senate HR163 and Senate S89 by
    Democrats Charles Rangel from NY and Fritz Hollings of South Carolina to
    reinstitute the draft.

    Here is a link to the CNN article about the Rangel bill
    http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/07/rangel.draft/

    All the supporters of this bill are Democrats: Mr. RANGEL, Mr. HOLLINGS, Mr.
    MCDERMOTT, Mr. CONYERS, Mr. LEWIS, Mr. STARK, and Mr. ABERCROMBIE

    These bills will time the program's initiation so the draft can begin as
    early as Spring 2005 -- just after the 2004 presidential election.

    The democrats are 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.

    See the following websites to view Bills: http://www.hslda.org/legislation

    Congress brought twin bills, S. 89 and HR 163 forward, 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.
    This plan, among other things, eliminates higher education as a shelter and
    includes women in the draft. College students would not be exempt under the
    new draft. Kerry has stated that "A Kerry Administration will offer
    Americans the chance to earn the equivalent of their state's four-year
    public college tuition in exchange for two years of service."

    Actions, actions, 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! Please also
    contact your representatives to ask them why they aren't telling their
    constituents about these bills -- and contact 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
    (sss) budget to prepare for a military draft that could start as early as
    June 15, 2005. Selective Service must report to the next president on March
    31, 2005 that the system, which has lain dormant for decades, is ready for
    activation.

    Please see website: http://www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html to view the SSS
    annual performance plan - fiscal year 2004.

    WHAT TO DO: >Tell all your friends!!!!! >Contact your Senators & Reps and
    tell them to oppose these bills!!! >Send this email to everyone you know,
    and ask them to forward it to draft age teenagers and their parents.

    We need to stop the kerry draft before it is too late!

    Spammers are trying sell you something in exchange for money. This

    looking for is "[censored]!". ;-)

    Take care,
