I just got this off of NRO's Corner section. This shows the blatant lies of this particular group. They've obviously drunk too much Kerry Kool-Aid

Dear [Name Withheld],
We just received an outrageous letter from the Chairman of the Republican Party, demanding that we stop talking about the issue of the military draft.

He said that the draft issue is just an “urban myth” and Rock the Vote’s
effort is being conducted with “reckless disregard for the truth.”

The truth is that we still haven’t received acceptable answers from the candidates to real questions affecting our lives. The possibility of a draft is not a hoax. It’s a real issue that deserves real answers.

An attempt to silence us by any politician—Democrat, Republican, Whatever—is unacceptable. This is one of the most important issues affecting our generation. And that’s why we need to stand up and make our voices heard right away.

Below is the letter that Rock the Vote sent back to the Chairman. Please read it.

If you like what we are saying, sign our petition to the Chairmen of both
the Republican and Democratic parties asking them to answer some key questions that we have about the draft:

We’re not going to stop talking about the issue of a draft simply because it makes the politicians squirm. We’re not going to let Congress think that a phony vote against the draft settles the matter.

By sending thousands of email draft cards and talking to your friends about the possibility of a draft, you ignited a national dialogue. If you have any doubt, just look at the last two presidential debates—both of which included questions for both candidates on the draft.

Click here to tell both parties that we need answers to some fundamental questions affecting our lives:

Sincerely,
Jehmu Greene
President

" And please donate now to support our efforts to make the candidates address this issue."

My candidate has already addressed this issue: "There will be no draft." The other guy has said: "There will be a draft."

I think I will pass up the great opportunity to donate to Rock The Vote. The candidates have already addressed the issue. It's pretty simple, really. Kerry will promote a draft. He'll need to since the reenlistment figures will drop to near-zero if he's elected.

It's a shame the folks at Rock the Vote (and others) haven't bothered to take a look at this page that was, at one time, on Jerry Kerry's web site 'Creating a New Army of Patriots' and 'John Kerry Outlines Plan to Require Service for High School Students'

This page is no longer accessible on the Kerry web site, of course, but it can still be accessed and viewed via The Way Back Machine Archives

I saw the idiotic "Rock the Vote" video where Samuel Jackson mentioned the "draft", what it proves to me is that Mr. Jackson hasn't a thought of his own except for those set down on paper in a script for him.

My question is this....suppose there were a draft, suppose our country really needed these young people....why the 'fear', are they not willing to fight to protect the freedom they enjoy everyday? It's a shame that both candidates haven't expressed the possibility that our country may need them someday. We are in a global war on terror, do they expect to never have to fight? Times have changed.
