I propose a DRAFT FORUM on DU.

[robertpaulsen]

I made this proposal on a thread started by Dems Will Win in the Campaign 2004 Forum.

We need as many facts about the draft as possible circulated here so that we can circulate the facts about the draft among the general populace. Facts about when it might happen, who would qualify for a draft. Most especially I am interested in factual information on the most effective means of legally avoiding the draft or how to fail the draft exam. I'm sure there are many people who are interested in the various forms of civil disobedience to protest against the draft.

Also, be aware that the motives of the Democrats who have proposed the draft, however misguided they are, are not what drives the Republicans on this issue. Believe me, they will subvert any existing legislation proposed by Democrats for the purposes of PNAC global domination. And any massive protests against this by the populace will be dismissed as the piddling whinings of a "focus group". It's not Democrats who are rotating 3,600 troops from South Korea to the Middle East and calling up the inactive reserve, which is the last step before a draft. It's the BFEE. They are literally one step away from taking this country into totalitarian enslavement.

So, for the moderators or anyone else reading this, I propose creating a forum to deal specifically with this issue here at DU.
