It's out there now.

The "lame-duck" 109th Congress should call for, and vote on, a resolution calling for either remaining involved in Iraq until the situation is satisfactorily resolved, or get out altogether, right now.

Same thing on reinstituting the military draft.

The draft issue was forced when Rangel brought it up. He even voted against it. From OpinionEditorials.com October, 2004:

House representatives Charles Rangel of New York, and Ernest Hollings of South Carolina, both Democrats, introduced Bill 89 and House Resolution 163 in 2003, to re-instate the draft, and then tried to lay the blame at President Bush’s feet recently. The bill lost all steam (not even a little puff )–by an overwhelming defeat of 402-2. Rangel after being instrumental in helping to draw up the draft proposal voted against his own bill.

Personally, I am NOT interested in resurrecting the draft. I did not want people next to me who didn't want to be there when I was in the Army. I doubt anyone serving today would, either.
