Don't be fooled by Kerry's rhetoric look it up yourselves.
There's an EASY TV ad to counter this stupid charge. Just run a black background and list these names while the voice over says "What two things do all of these members of Congress all have in common?
1. They're all Democrats
2. They're all onboard to re-instate the draft
How many Republicans have joined them?
NONE."
Then, cut to Kerry's face and have the voice-over conclude "Then why is Kerry trying to scare us into think it's Bush that wants to re-instate the Draft?" Fade-out.
