Part of 100 days Plan to Enlist One Million Americans in National Service A Year

On September 11th, 2001, America experienced the most terrible and deadly attack in its history. John Kerry believes we need to think big and do better and get more young Americans serving the nation.

As part of his 100 day plan to change America, John Kerry will propose a comprehensive service plan that includes requiring mandatory service for high school students and four years of college tuition in exchange for two years of national service.

If everyone comes in at the high school graduate level, who leads? Where do you get the officers or officer equivalents under this scheme? Sounds good for about three minutes but fails the practicality test.

Sounds like Mr. Kerry wants to nationalize undergraduate education. If I'm wrong, then what's to prevent a university from jacking tuition to even higher levels. After all, there's a certain "ability-to-pay" component to all this.

Herr Kerry believes that in these times, we need to bolster these
efforts with a nationwide commitment to national service. Whether
it is a Summer of Service for our teenagers, helping young people
serve their country in return for college, or the Older Americans in
Service program, Herr Kerry's plan will call on every American of
every age and every background to serve.

Another site with FACTS:

The rumors on President Bush re-instituting the Draft are making the rounds in St. Louis County, MO.

We need to STOP these false allegations IMMEDIATELY!

Well it won't go over -- because CBS/MTV/VH1/NBC/ABC?MSNBC/CNN, etc., will never clarify this for the public.

This was recently removed but I have called the Kerry campaign and still am waiting for a clear answer on the details of this plan. And yes, it does include military. But do not forget it is "MANDATORY" volunteer service, lol! So why is Kerry spreading lies about the "Draft" and President Bush, when what he plans to do is "SOCIALISM AT IT'S FINEST"!
LET'S GET THIS OUT TO THE PEOPLE!!!!
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHARE WITH MANY YOUNG DEMOCRATS AND THEY ARE VERY UPSET ABOUT HIS PLAN! And very surprised no one is talking about it!
WAKE UP AMERICA, A VOTE FOR KERRY IS A VOTE FOR SOCIALISM!!!!

I keep trying to tell people this. A young girl on a non-political blog is voting the first time and is determine Kerry is the man. She gives us all these excuses and then when we give her reasons why Kerry is going to do things -- like the draft -- then she'll say "well that's not the only reason."

I'm still trying to pin her down, but sure sounds like Michael Moore Brainwashing to me. She said she hasn't seen F911, but did see Columbine and has read his books and "likes him."

So I gave her a link to the cache of this on kerry's website.... we'll see, I keep trying. A Big part of the problem is until you've worked, paid taxes, bought a house, etc., you don't understand the difference between Socialism and Capitalism. All they see at this age is" Free Education, Free Healthcare... etc.
