i hope this does not happen.
I really don't think it will...Charlie Rangel's just trying to get a point across...if Bush continues to push this war, then all of America should be affected, including his rich buddies!!! There needs to be more of public outcry against this war...you can send e-mails to your congressmen/women and let them know you want immediate troop withdrawal!
Here's a partial article from CNN:
"Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, the Democrat who likely will head the powerful House Ways and Means Committee in the next congressional session, said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation" he plans to propose a new military draft next year.
But virtually no one expects the bill to have any chance of passage, and incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday the Democratic Party's House leadership would not support Rangel's proposal. (Full story)
CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider said every poll he's seen in the past year or two indicates Americans young and old don't want to return to the draft.
"And those who are calling for a draft, of course, know that it's unpopular," Schneider said. "They believe it may be the fastest way to end the war, and to keep the United States out of future wars."
Military experts say it's highly doubtful a military draft would ever again be green-lighted because the volunteer system works."
