"There is pending legislation in the House and Senate (twin bills: S
89 and HR 163) which will time the program's initiation so the draft
can begin at 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."

"Even those voters who currently support US actions abroad may still
object to this move, knowing their own children or grandchildren will
not have a say about whether to fight. Not that it should make a
difference, but this plan, among other things, eliminates higher
education as a
shelter and includes women in the draft."
