Actually, Jackie, the only bill proposed to reactivate the draft was authored and sponsored by Democrats. Charles Rangle of New York was the main author of the bill. Republicans would never have a draft, they don't want their children over there. <br> <br> Regards,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>J Ford <privatejf32@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> The "draft" is not inactive, it is just on a different level. Those men <br>that have no medical or SSI or death standing, are REQUIRED by law to <br>register by their 18th birthday. If they chose to serve voluntarily, they <br>are taken off that list but then since they are serving - it doesn't matter. <br> (BTW, if anyone has had a male loved one die before their 18th birthday, <br>please remember you have to notify the SSA and the Feds about that death or <br>they will come looking for the person. All it
takes is a signed affidavit <br>that the person died on such-such a date and a copy of the death <br>certificate.)<br><br>I fully expect the draft to be activated in the next 5-8 years....if we are <br>unfortunate enough to get another Republican in the Oval Office. Bush has <br>hinted on it several time since he was still in Texas and his co-hearts have <br>been echoing those same sentiments. The argument is that not enough people <br>are signing up and not enough are staying in.<br><br><br>J :]<br><br><br><br><br>>From: Donovan Arnold <donovanjarnold2005 @yahoo.com=""><br>>To: Tim Lohrmann <timlohr @yahoo.com="">, vision2020@moscow.com<br>>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] They Should Be Here<br>>Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 03:28:41 -0700 (PDT)<br>><br>><br>>Tim,<br>><br>>"The draft went out a long, long time ago.
