Punkvoter.com to Congress - Tell the truth about reinstating the draft and who is really fighting the war in Iraq.

No matter how unpopular, tell the American people who is really going to fight the war. Young people will not let the issue of the draft or the facts that young people are dying everyday for a war they did not choose to fight! Don’t let Congress fool you into thinking millions of kids are signing up to support this war.

“Congress brought up reinstating the draft legislation this week with only a few short days of session left to play politics and try and silence our voice about who is really fighting their war and why,” stated Pat Thetic of the band Anti-Flag who met with Representatives Jim McDermott, Jan Schakowsky, Shelley Berkley, Nita Lowey, Hilda Solis and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi yesterday. He continued, “We brought our friend Michael Hoffman, co-founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War to Congress to speak out about the draft that is already taking place in America and to highlight the fact that America needs a real discussion about the draft not a political vote.”

It was obvious why the right-wing leadership is trying to kill rumors of the draft.– but we know the reality, there already is a draft going on in America and kids are already being forced into the military.

Oh yeah, I bet Soros has his hands in on this.

If they are truly interested in the truth about the draft, they are asking the wrong people. The Democrats are the only ones who have proposed a draft.

Then again, we are the only ones who seem to know that...

No matter how unpopular, tell the American people who is really going to fight the war.

The same people that have been fighting it, genius.

Young people will not let the issue of the draft or the facts that young people are dying everyday for a war they did not choose to fight!

Don’t let Congress fool you into thinking millions of kids are signing up to support this war.

We don't need 'millions of kids', just 'thousands of volunteers'. And we're getting them.

“We brought our friend Michael Hoffman, co-founder of Iraq Veterans Against the War to Congress to speak out about the draft that is already taking place in America and to highlight the fact that America needs a real discussion about the draft not a political vote.”

I need to ETS, get in touch with my inner 'John O'Neil', and go talk to this guy. I have a funny feeling he'll be running for the Senate before too long.

It was obvious why the right-wing leadership is trying to kill rumors of the draft.– but we know the reality, there already is a draft going on in America and kids are already being forced into the military.

Damn! Word about the double secret probation draft has leaked out!

(Either that, or former soldiers in the inactive reserves are being recalled to honor their contracts and their commitments. That's a little distinction which seems to confuse some people.)

No way dude! That attitude is, like, so bogus, dude. I mean, we punks know what's going on in the world, man, you know? And we, like know that Bush is, like, bogus, and that guy that's always with him... what's his name.. Alice In Chainsey... Cheney.. whatever... that dude is, like, just not cool, man. But Kerry and that chick he's got running with him, man, that are with it you know? I mean, they understand that we aren't going to fight for no flag or oil or for the Iraqians or Iranis or nothin'. I mean, that would seriously cramp my time I send practicing my licks, man, and how can we schedule a gig from Iraq? That's what... at least a couple hundred miles away. I couldn't, like, drive back for weekend gigs, even. That would, like, so suck and everything. So dude, it's like, we HAVE to vote, man, you know? We're, like, totally informed on the policy and all that other garbage. Rock on!

[Condor51]

Pretty good. But I'll bet your grammar is much better than theirs. :-)

[Hugin]

Art school posuers.

[xzins]

Anybody can be stupid.

It's an artform to take stupid all the way to inpentrably brainless.

But these have managed and deserve kudos for their accomplishment.

Make no mistake. This could happen no place else but in America's demonRatic party.

[Welsh Rabbit]

Didn't anyone tell these guys? Punk is dead. Heck, it was dead when I was into punk over ten years ago. Those dorks with the mohawks look like they're filming some kind of period piece from the early '80s...

[Range Rover]

The red shirt/black necktie...thought I was looking at a Hitler Youth group photo.

[SandRat]

Yeah, take note of the "Elected representatives" purporting this then go to the URLs in this story and match up the names. Then stuff it in the PUNKs faces.

The DEMOC Party wants a Socialist America. Want proof? Here is a list of self-proclaimed Socialists in American Government: http://www.restoringamerica.org/documents/socialists_in_congress.html

Note that the DEMOC LEADER in the House is among them. They are all members of an organization called the DEMOC Socialists of America. They even have a website: http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html

Here is their mission statement: "The DEMOCic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International (also in Francais and Espanol). DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics...

"We invite you to support the campaign by adding your name to the list of signers of the Pledge for Economic Justice. In conjunction with the Campaign DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the US House of Representatives...

"The Progressive Caucus of the US House of Representatives is made up of 58 members of the House. The Caucus works to advance economic and social justice through sponsoring legislation that reflects its purpose. The Caucus also works with a coalition of organizations, called the Progressive Challenge, to bring new life to the progressive voice in US politics."

You can't make this stuff up... it's a fact. So, when you go to the voting booth in November, before you pull the lever, touch the computer screen, or punch the infamous hanging chad card for a DEMOC, realize that doing so could very well put the Socialists in power.

Shut up and sing... Better yet, don't sing. If you haven't heard these guys, don't fret.
