[HPFGU-OTChatter] Off Topic (Important Legislation)

[Sherry Gomes]

Hello,

I looked this up on snopes.com.  they say it is probably not likely to
happen, but that there are bills in congress, that have been there since
January 2003, but they are not receiving much support.  I wouldn't worry
about it.  The part about health can't be true anyway.  I know too many
disabled people who would love to serve in the military but are not allowed
to do so.  If you read the information on the snopes.com site, it shows that
even the military doesn't support the idea of the draft being brought back.
Here'
s a link.

I'm sorry to bother the entire list with this, but I feel it's 
important. It has recently come to my attention that there is a bill 
in the house (Title HR163 /to view the bill go to: 
http://thomas.loc.gov/ and type in HR163) that requires mandatory 
military service for all people between the ages of 18-26. No matter 
the sex, health, or educational level of the persons between those 
ages. 

I beg everyone to please, read this bill, and then write to your 
local representative. This bill cannot be allowed to pass for more 
reasons than can be counted. 

Thank you for your time, and feel free to pass this on.
