Maybe we need a good letter wrting campaign to media (national and local) and see if they will report the truth!
Rumsfeld has been against a draft from the beginning.
Good research.
McDermott is PROUDLY displaying his sponsorship of this bill on his website.
The hypocrisy and shamelessness of the Democrats is absolutely breathtaking!
Send it to dan blather and I'm sure he will do a full 60 Minutes program on this. < /sarcasm>
Thank you for that list!
Make them region specific, so in Florida, for example, change it to "14 Democrats including Corrine Brown and Alcie Hastings have co-sponsored a bill to ..."
Maybe end it with - "Call John Kerry and urge him that we don't need a draft. Ask John Kerry to convince his democrat friends who co-sponsored this bill that we don't need a draft."
We should be on the offensive and not the defensive on this issue. If they frame it, which they are doing, it may be too late. Spend a few million on radio and tv ads that is targeted to college students and their parents."
