MANDATORY DRAFT FOR BOYS AND GIRLS, AGES 18-26,
STARTING JUNE 15, 2005
Mandatory draft for boys and girls (ages 18-26) starting June 15, 2005 is something that everyone should know about. This literally affects everyone since we all have or know children that will have
to go if this bill passes. There is pending legislation in the house and senate (companion bills: S89 and HR 163) which will time the program`s initiation so the draft can begin as early as spring, 2005, just after the 2004 presidential election.
The administration is 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. This plan, among other things, eliminates higher education as a shelter and includes women in the draft. Also, crossing into Canada to avoid the draft has already been made very difficult.
