Pack your kid's baggage- he's going to IRAQ
How's that for a DNC or 527 ad?

The impending Military Draft is a REALITY if Bush wins this election- the plans are already in the works: http://blatanttruth.org/draft.php

Bush's approval will DROP LIKE A STONE if the truth gets out- we are accomplishing less with the National Guard AWOL campaign than we would if we SCARED the shit out of America's parents and young people with the truth: a military DRAFT will be a done deal if the lever gets pulled for Bush on Nov. 2.

More ideas on what this ad campaign could look like? Slogans?

I believe this is the sleeper issue that will finally wake people up to the consequences of 4 more years (and more wars- the neo-cons will have plenty of bodies to send for their democracy experiment in the Middle East). Does anyone have a contact at the DNC? Or Kerry campaign?

1. Bah!
There will be NO draft, no matter who wins. The President, the Senate, they may be for it, but the House never will be. Two years is too short a time for people to forget, and they know it.

2. That's what people thought
about the Patriot Act. All it would take is another attack on American shores (no matter how small) and the fear would be enough for our representatives in either house to reiniatiate the draft.

3. wishful thinking on your part, I'm afraid
The Republicans find ways to cloak their poison in patriotism. How do you think they will find bodies to fight their wars?

US may run out of guard and reserve troops for war on terrorism: report:
