I don't understand your statement above. Could you please explain further what you mean and give more details? Thanks.
If someone else, for instance, signs my name to my Selective Service registration form, how can it be a legal, binding document that says that I registered for Selective Service?
I don't understand how my mother or my uncle or my girlfriend signing my Selective Service form makes it a legal document.
For instance, doesn't a person have to show some identification when he signs the Selective Service form?
Just wondering: Where did you get your information that the Selective Service does not care who signs the Selective Service form as long as someone signs it?
Is there a link where we can read the information for ourselves?
Just wondering: What happens later if Selective Service accuses someone of not registering with Selective Service, and the person's defense is that his mother registered for him and signed his name?
In Obama's case, one big problem is that whoever filled out the Selective Service form is trying to convince the world that Obama's Selective Service form was signed in 1980, when the evidence seems to show that it was signed much later, sometime after 2000.
However, if you get a mail back form in the mail, you don't need to sign that one. Just fill stuff out and drop it in the mail.
If you go on line and register they don't want your signature ~ unless you are filing without a social security number. You are asked to notify Selective Service at a specific address when you get that number.
The purpose is to create a list of young men available for consideration in a draft ~ the purpose is not to bing guys with fines and jail sentences and the inherent attitude of the legislation is that "they want to know", not that you "need to prove it". A forged application would be as good as a real one eh!. Doesn't mean you couldn't get in trouble for not registering, but there are strictly administrative processes that will keep you from getting in on government goodies if you didn't register by the age of 26 (if you were required to do so, and knew about it).
