Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 09:53 PM by Dems Will Win
I need a quick typist to type up the doc. Then we can also put it all into HTML and really look at it together and email the sucker everywhere.

It's 6 pages, we could even divide it up:

Will anybody out there who can type help poor old Dems Will Win?

THIS IS URGENT. SOMEONE? ANYONE?

I have too much campaign stuff to do to get this done.

This guy is BIG.

8. It's not a text file
it's documents that have been scanned into a .pdf file.

It Bush's Not Rangel's, DRAFT PLANS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE SSS


SKILLS DRAFT AND NEW COMBAT DRAFT TIMELINE

Feb. 11 2003 - Top-level meeting between the head of the SSS and Deputy Undersecretary Abell in charge of Personnel and Readiness of the DoD on the SKILLS DRAFT. This is the meeting of the secret Issue Paper, revealed by the Freedom of Information Act in May. The SSS goes back encouraged enough to do some more planning.

Summer 2003 - Drive to start filling DRAFT BOARD vacancies by asking current board members to find new ones.

Fall 2003 - Karl Rove surveys GOP Congress on DRAFT. THe REPUBLICANS TELL ROVE IF BUSH ASKS THEY WILL REINSTATE DRAFT (Family Circle, JULY 13 issue) DoD announces critical skills shortages in linguists, computer experts and engineers. SSS Director Brodsky orders the designing of the SKILLS DRAFT procedures, the reg card and the massive database needed to track every young American under 35 and their skills. Brodsky, who "plays" JE McNeil and other anti-draft leaders by calling them regularly and shmoozing them, lies to McNeil telling her that in February of 2003 the SSS had to "justify their existence" before a hostile committee--when in reality the SSS and DOD were having the SKILLS DRAFT meeting and he himself had just started designing the new system and making it his top priority.

Sept 2003 - Draft board recruitment ad goes up on Web.

November 2003 - Draft board ad scrubbed!

Dec. 2003 - Brodsky announces the SKILLS DRAFT to be the "top priority' of the SSS in newsletter and tells of rapid progress to come.

March 13, 2004 - Word of SKILLS DRAFT leaks out in a SF Chronicle story and the SSS admits it and tells reporters it’s just a planning contingency. In an attempt to throw the press off, the SSS also says it would take 2 years to gear up and work out the kinks for the SKILLS DRAFT and that there is no funding for it. Eric Rosenberg, the reporter on the story, finds out about the Feb. 11 meeting Issue Paper and files a Freedom of Information Act request to get it.
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/03/13/MNG905K1BC1.DTL


May 1, 2004 – Article on SKILLS DRAFT leaves out key points of how skills conscription would be expanded to fill labor shortages throughout Dept of Homeland Security, 1/3 of government, how the SKILLS DRAFT can be called without a combat draft, how SKILLS INDUCTEES will be inducted within a mere 90 days of reauthorization, that the SSS wanted to “promptly” change the very MISSION of the SSS and so on. The article does, however, reveal many major point of sweeping plan. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/171522_draft01.html

Sept 13, 2004 – Issue Paper agenda memo of key Feb 2003 meeting posted on the Web at http://www.blatanttruth.org/selective_service091304.pdf sample:
"while a conventional draft may never be needed, a draft of men and women possessing these critical skills may be warranted in a future crisis if too few volunteer."

2004 – MOCK DRAFT LOTTERY HELD, SAMPLE MEDICAL EXAM REPORT ORDERS ISSUED TO MAIL LIST. Alternative Service geared up for first time in 31 years! Papers to place Conscientious Objectors with employers actually drawn up. SSS brought up to 95% operational capability, full Medical draft capability set for 2005, all DRAFT BOARD vacancies filled by Spring 2005! On March 31, 2005, the SSS Director must report to the Congress that the entire system is primed and ready to open 2,000 draft board offices and start inducting within 75 days, or June 15, 2005.

13. Just show the person the document...
... as received. Then get it transcribed, if necessary. M'self, I wouldn't screw with it at all. It's in pdf form. If it needs be distributed, let people decide if they want it--just send a link to it. Excerpt the salient portions for email, as required. This is a planning document, not a decision. Any decision would still have to go through Congress.

Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 10:17 PM by faithnotgreed
just forward it as is... seems like a good start esp if i were a journalist i would want the original. then if i needed a clean copy for some reason, i would have my secretary or someone type it from the original document i received...

15. Why not just convert it to Word with like SolidConverterPDF or something.
Edited on Sun Sep-26-04 10:28 PM by rednek_Liberal
Is there a reason it has to be typed?
If you want to upload it to the web, you can just upload the pages as images fro mthe converted Word Document.
