 stick or a vinyl record, as long as I get this idea of an  
 edition. In any case, for most of us, ephemeral netcasting and  
 netlabels (or, as in your case, even our own resources) seem to be  
 the most accessible path.

well, you know...you go along with the formats
in order to conduct the business of music.
As they change, so do the needs of distribution channels.

BUT when it comes to personal access,
I've been increasingly interested in anything that
has a deep time-bottom and doesn't have to be compiled
in a linear manner.

I'm surrounded by box/Bach sets that take the form of gargantuan  
proportions:
182 CDs of Bach...50 CDs of Merzbow...50 CDs of Klaus Schulze, etc.
and just last week I got all squishy and excited
when this explicated anthem from Prinzendorf that is the 51 disc
Orgien Mysterien Theater (Orgies and Mysteries Theater) of Hermann  
Nitsch
(of Viennese Aktionist fame) shows up with thick books/boots and poster.
So I have to ask: why not just send me a small hard drive?
The books/scores have a nicer feel than little slip covers around discs,
but the sound could've been just as easily sent on a keychain harddrive.

So, I think of a single Terrabyte for my work.
The idea of making it one long work that uses
40 years of pieces dropped inside at various points.
One of the things that I've learned and've appreciated
during my studies with Stockhausen over these past few years
is this idea of one large work (his Licht - 29 hours long)
as a ground by which various smaller solo or group ensemble
pieces can be extracted for performance.
In my case, it's somewhat the reverse where individual pieces are
interlaced into a whole that constantly/consistently grows.
Need a solo 29 minute work?
OK, let me play the part of the Metzgermeister
and just slice some off for you.

Would you like that wrapped?

8 X 12 inches) and spiralbound.



Theres an online edition for those

would like to see it. Dont know the address but I expect someone will. If its still there of course.



2 When Ive got the poems together Ill
publish a list of contributors  then anyone who doesnt want their
work to appear can say so.



3 Ill put it up on my Rabbit Press
site  and so anyone can buy a copy. It will be very low price 
simply to cover cost of paper and postage.



4 As we all are Im very busy so
when this will happen  I cant say. But I do have some time coming
through the summer  so Id hope to do it then.

Fibonacci Poems Multiply on the Web After Blog's Invitation
By MOTOKO RICH, NYT

Blogs
spread
gossip
and rumor
But how about a
Rare, geeky form of poetry?

THAT'S exactly what happened after Gregory K. Pincus, a screenwriter  
and aspiring children's book author in Los Angeles, wrote a post on  
his GottaBook blog (gottabook.blogspot.com) two weeks ago inviting  
readers to write Fibs, six-line poems that used a mathematical  
progression known as the Fibonacci sequence to dictate the number of  
syllables in each line.

Within a few days, Mr. Pincus, 41, had received about 30 responses, a  
large portion of them Fibonacci poems. Most of them were from friends  
or relatives or people who regularly read his blog, which focuses on  
children's literature.

Then, last Friday, a subscriber to the popular Web site slashdot.org  
- which runs over a tagline that reads News for nerds. Stuff that  
matters - linked to Mr. Pincus's original post, and suddenly, it  
seemed, Fibs were sprouting all over the Internet.

Mr. Pincus, who wrote in his original post that he conceived of the  
Fibonacci poems in part as a writing exercise, said in an interview  
that he figures more than 100 other Web sites have linked to his post  
and more than 1,000 Fibs have been written since the beginning of  
April, which just happens to be both National Poetry Month and  
Mathematics Awareness Month.

It tickles me that it can spread like that, said Mr. Pincus. It's  
such a wonderful thing.

Readers of the blockbuster best-selling Da Vinci Code, of course,  
may recognize the Fibonacci sequence as the key to one of the first  
clues left for the novel's hero and heroine. It is also a staple of  
middle-school math classes. Though relatively rare in poetry, it  
shows up in the musical compositions of the early 20th-century  
composer Bartok and the progressive metal band Tool, the spiraling  
shape of the Nautilus shell and in knitting patterns.

By and large, most of the people who have written Fibonacci poems  
over the past couple of weeks are not professional poets, but actors,  
comedians, video role-play enthusiasts, musicians, computer  
scientists, lawyers and schoolchildren. Casey Kelly Barton, a stay-at- 
home mother and home-schooler in Austin, Tex., who started a blog  
called Redneck Mother to chronicle her dissatisfaction after Bush  
got re-elected, used the Fib form to write a rant against the  
president.

Chat rooms linked to Web sites ranging from Actuarial Outpost, a  
forum for actuaries, to em411.com, a site for electronic musicians,  
have taken up Mr. Pincus's challenge and generated strings of the  
whimsical poems. Even a Hungarian technology site has linked to the  
Fibonacci post.

The allure of the form is that it is simple, yet restricted. The  
number of syllables in each line must equal the sum of the syllables  
in the two previous lines. So, start with 0 and 1, add them together  
to get your next number, which is also 1, 2 comes next, then add 2  
and 1 to get 3, and so on. Mr. Pincus structured the Fibs to top out  
at line six, with eight syllables.

For many people, writing one of the poems is a little like solving a  
puzzle. Suresh Venkatasubramanian, a 32-year-old computer science  
researcher at ATT Labs-Research in Florham Park, N.J., said he was  
attracted to the Fibonacci poetry because it reminded him of what a  
computer scientist would call the 'resource constraints.'  On his  
blog, Geomblog, Mr. Venkatasubramanian added two more lines to Mr.  
Pincus's original prescription, while still keeping to the Fibonacci  
sequence:

I
like
to blog.
Frequently.
Theory matters.
Computer science (theory)
is my home and geometric algorithms are
sublime. Let P be a set of points in general position in the plane.  
Amen.

The last line, said Mr. Venkatasubramanian, is an inside joke in  
geometry.

Emily Galvin, a screenwriter and film production assistant who is  
writing a collection of poems and short plays in verse for Tupelo  
Press, has written one of her plays using the Fibonacci sequence.  
Instead of using the progression to dictate the number of syllables  
in a line, she let it regulate the number of words.

Ms. Galvin, who said an ex-boyfriend once sent her love notes  
composed in the Fibonacci sequence, was delighted to learn of Mr.  
Pincus's success in spreading Fibs around the Internet. How great  
that something mathematical could be bringing together all sorts of  
people who don't write professionally and giving them a form, she said.

More professional poets may be attracted to the form, said Annie  
Finch, a poet who teaches at the University of Southern Maine. Poets  
are very, very hungry for constraint right now, said Ms. Finch, who  
has written about formal poetry. Poets are often poets because they  
love to play with words and love constraints that allow the self to  
step out of the picture a little bit. The form gives you

A couple of blog points.

I wonder if we should make the archive fortnightly rather than monthly?
For anyone like me without broadband (We're right out in the countryside
and it hasn't reached us yet - amazing but true) the page takes ages to
load. Whatdythink?

Secondly on my PC the cream background comes up too wide - which means
all the side bar info appears at the very bottom. This only happens on

everyone - or is it just my antiquated equipment?

Synergy: Sight and Sound, a high-energy free-style Jazz
band,the innovative collaboration between sculptor/designer Amir Bey and
musician/composer Saco Yasuma, begins a series of concerts at Bowery Poetry
Clubon Thursday, January 26, 2006,
at 10 PM.Thisseries
follows afestive performance at Bowery Poetry Club that was held on October
14, 2005. The band,featuring Yasuma on reeds and percussion,
Sabir Mateen, reeds and flutes, Ras Moshe, reeds and flutes, Jackson Krall,
Drums, and Francois Grillot on Bass, wear mixed media masks and silkscreen
prints on nylon costumes designed by Bey. Bey's set
designcombineslong sheetsof silkscreen prints
onnylon,and suspended mobile-like percussive instruments that are
fabricated from canvas, aluminum screen mesh, and acrylic. These
instruments areformed intoshapessuch as clouds, swinging
anthropomorphic figures, music notes,and masks withbells attached
to them. Yasuma's original compositions range fromher forceful
The Roar of Wood, to the contemplative Peace Dance, and
Rain. Yasuma isat home playing percussive
instruments orher bamboo saxophone as she is with her main axe, the alto
saxophone. Synergy's concept
is based on weavingthe visual and audio arts; thesounds and
movements of the musicians are visuallyenhanced,and theaudio
potentials forsculptureare explored.There are moments
when the band plays the instruments from the on-stage installation, twirling,
swinging, and dancing with them.

Profiles of the SYNERGY
Artists

Mixed media sculptor
and curator Amir
Bey has worked with musicians and performers since
the 1970s, including set designs and costumes for Idris Ackamoor and Rodessa
Jones of Cultural Odyssey,Maria Mitchell of Black Pearl Dance Company,
and Lorna Littleway, whohave incorporated his art intheir
productions. Bey is based in New York,
where he has organized exhibitions since 1989; he has also exhibited
internationally, including Turkey,
Japan, Spain,
Italy, Martinique,and Germany.
Recently, his Procession of Folk #3, a series of 12 faceted glass
windows,was permanently installed by the MTA at the Mount
Eden station on the #4 line in the Bronx.

Alto
saxophonist, composerand band leader Saco Yasuma has written
manystyles of music since she was the age of ten. She intenselybegan
composing for various ensembles since 2001 in NYC, including the annual Billy
Parkerconcert at Rockland College.
Recentwork with musicians such as Ras Moshe, Roy Campbell, Billy
Bang,Luther Thomasand Sabir Mateen has motivatedher to new
approaches for writing free improvisational music.



The
iconoclastic and masterful multi-instrumentalist, Sabir Mateen, who plays action music, has been
called a gentle giant who can display controlled intensity
without falling into undisciplined methodology (Cook, Collins). His
current ensembles such as Juxtapositions, M.A.S.K., Shapes, Textures 
Sound Ensemble, and Movement Of The Future Ark, and his
otherprojectsare leading influences onthe
internationalavant-garde scene.

Ros Moshe, a
third generation reed player who, although trained in earlier forms of
Jazz, says his preferred mode of improvisation is in the later or
free developments of the music. Hehas ledThe Music Now
Unitsince 1999 and played with manyoriginal artists such as Billy
Bang, William Parker, William Hooker, and Kali Z. Fasteau. He is a firm
believer in the positive effects of the new music for social and personal
change.

Jackson Krall, a
drummerwho is noted for his sensitive accompaniment as well as his
precise playing, has been performing with Cecil Taylor since the mid
1990s.Krallhas been working with many of the cutting
edge musicians of this time; of him bassist William Parker has said,

From this primitive and limited scansion I'd say it is close to a
Shakespearean sonnett. A few beats added for pause or swallowed
syllables
and it's pert near solid,  strange rhymees,  but gallop it does --and
surely
it rhymes internally. The scansion reflects, of course, subjective
reading -- I am fondee of the spondee. tee hee. there are a few other
feet
in there--which i forwent?

A right nice smote poem I'd say.
O! I gave a readingand it was grand--read with Matt Derby--check him

Woodland Pattern's 25th Anniversary Workshops
Saturday, November 19th

Basic Elements with Lisa Jarnot
10am-12pm
$25/20 members

This seminar will focus on the basic building blocks
of the poem, beginning with vowels, consonants, and
syllable clusters, and evolving toward an evaluation
of the larger metrical structures inherent in
poetry-phrases, lines, and stanzas. Working from Louis
Zukofsky's idea that poetry can be evaluated within
the range of lower level speech, upper level music,
we'll explore ways to locate the musicality of
different kinds of poetry and we'll ask what makes a
poem tick. During the workshop we'll read poems that
adhere to metrical forms and we'll also look at Open
Verse poems. In addition we'll write some poems of
our own.

Lisa Jarnot is the author of three full-length
collections of poetry including Black Dog Songs (Flood
Editions, Chicago). She is currently completing a
biography of the San Francisco poet Robert Duncan
which will be published by University of California
Press in 2006. She lives in New York City and teaches
in the Creative Writing Program at Brooklyn College.

To register call (414) 263-5001.

Understanding  Revealing
Characters in Fiction
with Martha Bergland
2pm-5pm
$25/20 members

Compelling fiction contains characters that draw
empathy from the reader. In this workshop we will
study and learn different techniques that help us know
the characters in our fiction, (and therefore their
conflicts). Through this deeper level of understanding
we can build characters that intrigue and captivate
our readers.

Martha Bergland's first novel, A Farm Under A Lake,
was published 1989 by Graywolf Press, and by Vintage
Books, Bloomsbury in England, Bonniers in Sweden, and
Krueger in Germany. Graywolf published her novel Idle
Curiosity in 1997. Bergland's essays, poems, and short
stories are widely published in literary journals. Her
short story, An Embarrassment of Ordinary Riches,
was awarded a Pushcart Prize and was included in
Pushcart's anthology, Love Stories for the Rest of Us.
Bergland taught English for many years at Milwaukee
Area Technical College.

To register call (414) 263-5001.

Subject: FLUXLIST: email and all that



Dear Dawg  All,

Just a quick note about the problems AOL users have been having, it's
not as easy as it should be to resolve such matters.  I have had silly
problems with a number of 'commercial' email providers, especially those
providing free accounts.  Telecom Italia actually lost my account once!

A couple of years ago I signed up with Cwazy.co.uk - crap name,
excellent service especially as it was free. 305mb mailbox, spam
protection personalised filters, pop 3  compatability etc etc. ideal for
fluxlist admin (which is basically deleting spam!) cwazy has just become
a paid for service but it only costs £5 a year, what's that, about $7?
its very cheap and now you get the 305mb all the spam protection etc and
you can chose your email domain name e.g.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not
sure how it works but that's the deal).  i think you get more than one
name too.

anyway apart from all the groovy options there is a very high quality of
service,  steve the 'boss' actually responds personally to queries and
puts problems right etc. the cwazy server blocked fluxlist as spam, i
emailed steve and he fixed it the same night.

it's worth a look, perhaps as a second email especially now as you don't
have to get stuck with the cwazy tag

--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 
 An Historical Atlas of Fluxlist
 
 Fluxlist has effectively evolved into a small
 community, an example of the 'global village' at its
 most, well villagy (sp?).  Village elders and
 village idiots, friends and vague acquaintances,
 over the back fence chatters, curtain twitchers, the
 odd recluse and a whole host of folks who just go
 about their daily business, minding their own and
 showing up at the odd parish meeting to put their
 two pennerth in.  On occasion itinerant travellers
 wander through offering wares varying from the
 delightful to the downright dubious. Sometimes the
 circus turns up and erects its big-top in the
 carpark, sometimes hooligans from neighbouring
 villages show up and cause fights in the pub. 
 People pass away and are mourned, people get
 married, have babies and their neighbours raise
 their glasses in acknowledgement.  Sometimes new
 villagers turn up out of the blue and others up
 sticks and move away to the city.
 The strange thing is that most of the villagers live
 thousands of miles away from each other, many have
 never met any of the others, some have met but a
 handful, many can not put a face to the name and
 most a probably quite unaware of the existence of
 some of the remainder.
 
 The idea is this:
 To construct an historical and geographical atlas of
 fluxlist, past and present.
 Each current member of Fluxlist is invited to write
 about another - a biographical piece placing that
 person geographically, historically and contextually
 into the story of Fluxlist.
 
 These biographical pieces may be based on truth or
 complete fantasy.  Pieces may vary in length, there
 being no maximum or minimum enforced and may be
 written in any language deemed appropriate by the
 author.  Anecdotes and stories of bravery, stupidity
 or particularly successful dinner parties, artworks
 and animals, music and missing weekends.  When and
 how they joined Fluxlist, motives and mysterious
 sudden disappearances.  Notable contributions to
 Fluxlist, faux pas and folly.  Place of birth, date
 of birth, date of first date and outcome. 
 Famous/noted/ignored for...  Place of abode,
 distance travelled by bicycle, bravelled by tricycle
 and amount of interest in % of learning to unicycle.
 Information on place of abode, including address,
 city, state, country etc.
 Participants may produce as many 'biographies' as
 they wish.
 
 
 Or you could write something completely different.
 
 The aim is document Fluxlist to date, to produce
 something which records Fluxlist membership at
 various levels, not just names but information about
 the person, a short biography (as stated) and
 information about their geographical location (and
 their location in time if you so wish).
 
 Entries may be duplicated.  In fact duplicate
 entries, especially about 'active' members, are to
 be encouraged thus building up a broader view of the
 individual.  
 
 Eventually the biographies will be used to build up
 a 'map' of Fluxlist.
 
 The aim is to publish this 'atlas', eventually, as
 an actual book if costs are not too prohibitive, and
 in digital format (PDF and HTML)
 
 Those interested in contributing are kindly
 requested to let me know within the next week or so.
 
 Thanks
 
 Alan

Just back from my hols. Hope you're all well...

Here's the thing. I'm half way through a novel set in 1968. What was the
state of Fluxus then? If anyone would like to help...

Meanwhile this looks interesting...


CALL FOR MUSIC / AUDIO ART / SUBMISSIONS FOR TRANS-SIBERIAN RADIO
PROJECT

Ever wish your music or art could be heard from Moscow to Beijing?  The
Train
Station is a mobile low-power FM radio station that will operate from a
train on 
the Trans-Siberian railway during a conference entitled Capturing the
Moving Mind:
Management and Movement in the Age of Permanently Temporary War.
Organised by the
organisational theory and politics journal ephemera, the conference will
take place
September 10 - 20, 2005 on the Trans-Mongolian train as it travels from
Moscow to
Beijing via Novosibirsk. The purpose of the conference is to gather a
variety of
creative thinkers - researchers, philosophers, artists, and others - who
are 
interested in global culture and politics. The organising topic of
discussion for
the conference has to do with the way institutionalised forms of power,
especially
national governments, are dealing with individual people, who are today
so mobile
and hard to track, govern and control.

Please visit http://www.trans-siberianradio.org or e-mail
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information and links on
how to
contribute to the project.
The deadline for submissions is September 5.

Thats done then. I put the 1500 posts

And I did skim them rather. But now tis
done and they are all safely filed away in the archive.



There was a lot of poetry there  and not
just from John. Maybe we should do another poetry book like Happy New Ears. I know
we tried once and it fizzled out through lack of entries. But whaddya think? Id
be happy to collate it again.



Also  I still havent received

Somebody loves me
There is no greater love

I cant give you anything but love

Youd be so nice to come to
If I should lose you

Lets fall in love

Hi all,

In order to redress the loss of Allen Bukoff's Fluxlist companion site:

Yesterday evening I purchased fluxlist.com as well as 100Mb of web space
to
go with it. My plan is to build a new fluxlist companion site as well as
reinstate all the fluxlist sites that I and others have made in the past
but
consolidate them in one place. This is something I would have done
before
buy I never wanted to upset Allen Bukoff since he ran the list companion
site.

My plan is to provide the following on fluxlist.com.

1) A list of fluxlist members and any other Fluxus artists who wish to
be
listed. The name listing will link to your website.

2) A list of Fluxus documents: essays, texts interview etc.  I hope
those
who've published on Fluxus will be generous enough to allow me to
reproduce
some of that material on the web.

3) Interviews: Begin an interview program with new and old Fluxus
artists.
Many of you will no doubt be able to help with that.

4)Website archive: I will archive all Fluxlist websites. This means that
all
the pages here and there we've had over the years can be collected
together
in one place, of course they can still remain in their original location
too.

Okay, well that's the start. If you have any more ideas let me know.

cheers,

Sol.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/26/arts/design/26STOR.html

web ref -  http://www.urbanmedium.com

By SAMANTHA STOREY

Correction Appended

TWO years ago, a sticker depicting Che Guevara as a Star Wars-style 
storm trooper began cropping
up around Los Angeles, pasted to the backs of mailboxes and street 
signs. Inspired partly by the
popular duotone Che portrait marketed on T-shirts and posters, the 
image seemed an amalgam of two
of the most iconic images of the last half-century.

The sticker's creators, Derek Fridman and Heather Alexander, who run 
the site www.urbanmedium.com,
initially intended the character, called Chetrooper, as a commentary 
about how trendy/pop the
whole Che concept was, Mr. Fridman said by e-mail. So many people 
were wearing his image on a
T-shirt without really knowing who he was and what he did. They posted 
it on the Web for
downloading and passed the stickers out at clubs.

Using military colors, they went on to create a multi-hued Chetrooper 
series styled after Andy
Warhol's silk-screen Marilyn paintings. Soon they were receiving 
e-mail messages from people in
Japan and Australia who had spotted Chetrooper on telephone poles in 
Kyoto or Melbourne. A
phenomenon was born. Once we started pasting and sticking the image, 
Mr. Fridman said, it took
on a life of its own.

Inspired by graffiti, posters and the communal culture of the Web, 
stickers are gaining wide
attention as an artistic phenomenon, academics and practitioners say. 
Hand-drawn, stenciled or
screen-printed, the images float on the Internet, available for 
downloading, printing and pasting
in ways that the creators could only have imagined. And as they make 
their way around the globe,
from one e-mail in-box to the next, one cultural context to another, 
their meaning tends to morph.

Now that broadband users can send large graphics files in an instant, 
stickers are a very
fast-moving medium. A sticker can be created Monday morning in New 
York, e-mailed to a stranger in
Paris and affixed to the back of a trash receptacle on the 
Champs-Élysées in the early afternoon.

It works particularly well in walking cities, said Alice Twemlow, who 
organizes shows about
visual culture as program director at the American Institute of Graphic 
Arts. Walking brings
intimate encounters with the stickers that could not be experienced 
while driving. There is also
an immediacy with which people can respond.

Scott Rettberg, a scholar in new media, attributes the resurgence of 
stickers to low-cost inkjet
printers and the ubiquity of the global network. Cheap printers give 
artists the ability to
mass-produce work intended for public consumption, he said, and 
stickers are easier to place
than traditional graffiti.

Many sticker artists cite the mainstreaming of skateboard culture as a 
turning point in their
movement. Kids want to have cool high-quality stickers, especially 
more subversive ones from
underground artists, said Zarathustra James, who runs the sticker site 
www.bomit.com. They'll
actually fistfight for free stickers at skate demos.

Initially skateboarders used them to decorate the bottoms of their 
skate decks, but eventually
they made their way onto more visible urban signposts. If there is a 
graffiti tag or sticker or
stencil on that electrical box/pole/sign, it looks more aesthetically 
pleasing than the plain
box, Mr. James said by e-mail. And it makes you think.

Because the stickers are exposed to the elements as well as to 
sanitation crews, Web sites have
sprung up with the goal of simply documenting a transient art form. In 
2002, Marc and Sara
Schiller of Manhattan founded www.woostercollective.com, a site 
dedicated to street art.

There was a real great need for artists who are putting art on the 
street to connect with each
other, Ms. Schiller said. The site offers everyone the ability to 
cross continents, ages,
generations.

Many sticker artists trace the origins of the current movement to 
Shepard Fairey, who created a
sticker of Andre the Giant, the professional wrestling star, in the 
early 1990's and posted it at
the Web site www.obeygiant.com. Soon he was shipping the stickers to 
people all over the world.

FLUXLIST: FW: Cannon Fodder : administration enacts a new draft while no one is looking!

2004-09-25 Thread Roger Stevens
Has anyone seen this? Nothing to do with Fluxlist I know.
But a bit scary!

XXX
Roger


 
 STOP THE DRAFT! 

 While all the shouting and electioneerig is taking up
 media space, Bush's administration is on track for
 enacting a new draft. 

 STOP IT NOW - BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR OUR KIDS! 

 Canada has already closed its borders to everyone of
 draft age -

 Mandatory draft for boys and girls (ages 18-26)
 starting June 15, 2005, is something that everyone
 should know about. This literally effects everyone
 since we all have or know children that will have to
 go if this bill passes. There is pending legislation
 in the house and senate (twinbills: S89 and HR 163)
 which will time the program's initiation so the draft
 can begin as early as spring, 2005, just after the
 2004 presidential election. The administration is
 quietly trying to get these bills passed now, while
 the public's attention is on the elections, so our
 action on this is needed immediately. Details and
 links follow. 

 This plan, among other things, eliminates higher
 education as a shelter and includes women in the
 draft. Also, crossing into Canada has already been
 made very difficult. 

 Actions: 

 Please send this on to all the parents and teachers
 you know, and all the aunts and uncles, grandparents,
 godparents. . . And let your children know - - it's
 their future, and they can be a powerful voice for
 change! 

 This legislation is called HR 163 and can be found in
 detail at this website: 

 http://thomas.loc.gov/ 

 Just enter in HR 163 and click search and will bring
 up the bill for you to read. It is less than two pages
 long. 

 If this bill passes, it will include all men and ALL
 WOMEN from ages 18 - 26 in a draft for military
 action. In addition, college will no longer be an
 option for avoiding the draft and they will be signing
 an agreement with the Canada which will no longer
 permit anyone attempting to dodge the draft to stay
 within it's borders. This bill also includes the
 extension of military service for all those that are
 currently active. If you go to the select service web
 site and read their 2004 FYI Goals you will see that
 the reasoning for this is to increase the size of the
 military in case of terrorism. This is a critical
 piece of legislation, this will effect our
 undergraduates, our children and our grandchildren.
 Please take the time to write your congressman and let
 them know how you feel about this legislation. 
  
 www.house.gov 
 www.senate.gov 

 Please also write to your representatives and ask them
 why they aren't telling their constituents about these
 bills and write to newspapers and other media outlets
 to ask them why they're not covering this important
 story. 

 The draft $28 million has been added to the 2004
 selective service system budget to prepare for a
 military draft that could start as early as June 15,
 2005. Selective service must report to Bush on March
 31, 2005, that the system, which has lain dormant for
 decades, is ready for activation. 

 Please see www.sss.gov/perfplan_fy2004.html to view
 the Selective Service System annual performance plan,
 fiscal year 2004. 

 The pentagon has quietly begun a public campaign to
 fill all 10,350 draft board positions and 11,070
 appeals board slots nationwide. Though this is an
 unpopular election year topic, military experts and
 influential members of congress are suggesting that if
 Rumsfeld's prediction of a long, hard slog in Iraq
 and Afghanistan (and permanent state of war on
 terrorism) prov es accurate, the U.S. may have no
 choice but to draft. 

 www.hslda.org/legislation/national/2003/s89/default.asp
 entitled the Universal National service Act of 2003,
 to provide for the common defense by requiring that
 all young persons (age 18-26) in the United States,
 including women, perform a period of military service
 or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the
 national defense and homeland security, and for other
 purposes. These active bills currently sit in the
 committee on armed services. Dodging the draft will be
 more difficult than those from the Vietnam era.
 College and Canada will not be options. 
  
 In December 2001, Canada and the U.S. signed a smart
 border declaration, which could be used to keep
 would-be draft dodgers in. Signed by Canada's minister
 of foreign affairs, John Manley, and U.S.Homeland
 Security director, Tom Ridge, the declaration involves
 a 30 point plan which implements, among other things,
 a pre-clearance agreement of people entering and
 departing each country. 

 Reforms aimed at making the draft more equitable along
 gender and class lines also eliminates higher
 education as a shelter.

 Underclassmen would only be able to postpone service
 until the end of their current Semester. Seniors would
 have until the end of the academic year.
  
 What to do: Tell your friends 

 Contact your legislators and ask them to oppose these
 bills Just type congress into 

FLUXLIST: FW: Cannon Fodder : More is less.

2004-09-25 Thread Roger Stevens
And then this comes in...

Tsk



Cool your jets, guys. The draft bill referred to was initiated quite a
while
ago by a set of liberal Democratic Congressmen -- Rangel, Conyers,
Fortney
Stark, et al. -- to embarrass the Republican administration. These
initiators' names are all a matter of public record. Since its
inception,
the bill's been languishing in committee, while the committe's
(Republican)
chairman has been sitting on it -- i.e., blocking any further progress.

So who's the dishonest politician here? Check it out online.
