Dennis Kucinich: Military Draft May Be Coming … Let's Stop It NOW!

TAKE ACTION NOW For Our Nation's Youth
By Dennis Kucinich
Our government is planning a big draft, setting in motion a process where millions are automatically registered with Selective Service. This at a time when our government is expanding wars globally.
The House of Representatives has just passed a defense authorization bill which provides for automatic Selective Service registration which then places each individual in the system for a potential draft call-up. Currently, 18 year old males would, at their own instance, register with Selective Service.
A draft dragnet
Why an automatic registration for the draft for the first time since 1972, during the Vietnam War? Automatic registration is a draft dragnet. It makes it easier for the government to use a multitude of databases to track young Americans for purposes of conscription.
There are serious Constitutional issues with automatic registration for Selective Service leading to conscription, including violation of 4th Amendment privacy rights and 5th Amendment due process rights.
This goes against the spirit of individual liberty which the Founders of our country established.
Thomas Jefferson on conscription: "Our people . . . had learnt to consider it as the last of all oppressions."
SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS TO END AUTOMATIC DRAFT REGISTRATION:
WE THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY STATE THE FOLLOWING:
We are opposed to automatic registration for the draft.
Our government must use diplomacy to avert wider wars.
Congress must reclaim its constitutional war power duties.
We must not permit our country to wage undeclared war
This goes against the spirit of individual liberty which the Founders of our country established.

This is one of your best commentaries via art, Mark. Wish I had your talent. Learning so much every day … feeling stimulated in that area of life. Scared to death about the possibilities of war facing us. And the climate crisis. And the cost of a box of Cheerios.
