Stand by - finding/retrieving!

Have them read the constitution. And all the amendments.

First you get the origional bill that is sponsored and supported only by dems. Then you get the kerry statements to the effect that he would wish to put more troops on the ground in Iraq.

Tell them to google the word 'draft' along with the names Charles Rangel and Fritz Hollings. Case closed.

Also, ask them if they know who the Secretary of Defense is. Then ask them who was the Secretary of Defense who ended the draft in 1974. Hint: It's the same guy, and he's on the record vehemently opposing a reinstitution of the draft.

Thanks to all so far!!

There was this one girl (who is incredibly ignorant in my mind) saying how if the draft is brought back, she plans to get pregnant multiple times. Pure ignorance and it doesn't even matter if she was joking, but I want something to show them. Cuz it's their candidate who's apart of the party trying to do it.

The draft legislation in Congress is sponsored by Charles Rangel(D, New York) and Ernest Hollings(D, South Carolina, and retiring at the end his term). The last time we had a draft in the country, it was stopped by President Richard Nixon(R, California) and it was enforced his Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, who is also the current Sec. of Defense for the Bush Administration.

Try House Resolution 163 and Senate bill 89 at thomas.loc.gov and verify the sponsors

Here's a pretty good one, it's leghorn foghorn hollings official website.

Check out this link. It debunks the whole thing and tells you that it is the DemoRats who brought a bill into Congress. Ask them if they're gullible enough to believe everything they're told by political hacks?

Tell them to go to Fact Check.Org (actually a organization run by a couple of left-leaning guys but that does put truth above politics) that completly debunks the draft lies as well as many other common urban myths. Or you also can print it out and show it to them.

Also ask them if they are pissed that the Democrats and Dan Rather are lying and getting them psyched out for pure political reasons. That is pretty low, IMHO.

Well, it's not in Natural Sciences area but you could get them into researching it starting with the actual bill which would show the sponsors, and that it was proposed almost two years ago. http://thomas.loc.gov/ The bill numbers are HR163 and S89. It will show the sponsors, and then they can find out to which party they belong.

[LDub]

You guys are awesome!! this is just the stuff I needed ! Thanks a bunch!!

[Barnstormer]

Happy to help. Ask your friends if they like being lied to and stampeded by a bunch of DemoRats and CBS just so they'll blindly support the "party line" like a bunch of morons who can't think for themselves. I'm sure they'll enjoy it when you point out that they are being played for complete fools?

[Chode]

show them a transcript of last nights debate where the President said there wouldn't be a draft!!!

I know! I was sitting there thinking to myself, "um, was I the only one that heard Bush say there wouldn't be one?!!?!"

[BushisTheMan]

And add where Kerry said he would send MORE troops to Iraq and increase the number of Special Forces. I believe he said "double" the number of Special Forces but don't quote me on that part!

Keep up the good fight, LDub
