Holy fucking shit
Is a major attempt to get you attention.
They are attempting to start up THE DRAFT in this country again. We're talking 2 years of mandatory military service for men and women aged 18-25. Don't believe me? Here is the bill in the house, and here is the bill in the senate.
A quote from the bill:
I've been reading a lot about it in the British press (since apparently you have to go to a different country to get any good US news). The Selective Service System is getting about 25 million more in funding this year. They are starting to fill the 11,000 or so draft board positions in this country. It is all being aimed for a potential start of the draft in early 2005, after the election.
I ask each and every one of you to take this issue very very very very very fucking seriously. Tell everyone you know about it. Both our government, and apparently our media, are staying quiet about it. THIS NEEDS TO BE OUT IN THE OPEN
