Re: [CTRL] Fight against the reinstatement of the Draft!

[John A. O'Neal]

-Caveat Lector- People who have yellow streaks running up their backs, as wide as highway stripes, should refrain from quoting our Founding Fathers. Why should my son or any parent's son or daughter answer their country's call and perhaps lose their lives while you sit on your sorry ass, conjuring up wild conspiracy theories for everything under the sun ?? So, pick up a rifle, mount the wall and  stand the watch like the rest of us have done...maybe you'll get to experience a little "virtual reality".........like a 5.56mm projectile @ 3200 fps.  Before you leave, visit a National Cemetery and ask those who repose there, if they will allow you to be placed in their  honored midst, should fate require it. Is there anything you would fight for ?  I'll guarantee you one thing.........there won't be anymore trotting off to Canada and waiting for some bleeding heart to give you amnesty, after 58,174 sons and daughters have died in your worthless stead. You can take that to the bank, pal !!!

Fallen Patriots
 
"Taps" drifting over carved marble stones.
Tiny flags standing in smart ranks like an honor guard
We come this day to remember those who fell
The youthful and the seasoned alike
 
Volunteer or conscripted, does'nt matter which
Most did not a hero�s medal gain
Yet all were patriots for what they did
They went; they served and they died
 

Some realized glory, others saw their duty clear
Yet, not all dreamed a patriot�s dream
Or really understood their country�s call
But all knew well of fear and death
 

How shall we remember them?
By bugle strain or tear stained cheek?
Or by their bones that feed the grassy roots?
No! By the free air and soil they bought for us
At the highest price of all
 

But these are not alone
They have brothers and sisters
    that do not sleep beneath the stones
    Who also went and served
And stand now and remember
 

Young man, do not scoff at this remembrance
Rather, accept their gift.
They have given you the freedom to scoff if you want
But refrain and remember instead
 

And as you do, stand a little straighter
Turn your eyes to that banner fluttering yonder
On which they once gazed and still do
And sing the anthem loud,
For the courageous and strong have sung it before you
And were not timid in it.
 

Now , as you go from this hallowed place
Do not forget them that lie here
Or those that lie in places far distant
While their lives were lost,
Their gift of freedom lingers still.

Fight against the reinstatement of the Draft!

Friends: Late last year, Rep. Nick Smith, (R-MI) has introduced a bill, H.R.
3598, which calls for the reinstatement of the draft. This bill must be
stopped; we ask you to sign our petition against its passage. We believe that
the government has no claim on your life, and certainly no right to force you
to fight in a war. The draft is immoral and - given the
high-tech/low-manpower nature of modern warfare requiring few but highly
skilled soldiers, completely unnecessary for national defense.

Rep. Smith’s bill to reinstate the draft flies in the face of liberty, and
all freedom-loving Americans should feel threatened by it. National
emergencies are the number one excuse for restricting liberty, but remember
the famous words of Benjamin Franklin; “They that can give up essential
liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor
safety.” Liberty is more than an abstract principle; it is a cause that must
be fought for every day, in times of peace and in times of war.

Accordingly, we oppose the adoption of Rep. Nick Smith's bill, HR 3598, to
reinstate the draft.
