Stop the reinstatement of the draft in the US!! Rep.Smith and others have plans to force enlistment on all young people to bolster the US military in peacetime as well as war.
We are OPPOSED to the DRAFT. Conscription is a violation of
human rights, creates the escalation of war, the sacrifice of lives, and is not necessary. A volunteer military force has been proven to work. Service people are treated better, with more incentives and benefits than when a draft is in force.
What is needed in the war against terrorism is not more brute
force, but more intelligence, and in humanitarian service to end
the root causes of terrorism: hopelessness, poverty, ignorance, and
fear. Therefore we demand that no DRAFT be mandated, and all bills to reinstate the draft be dismissed.
