I recently received my Florida driver's license renewal form. If I renew by mail, I am "consenting to registration with the Federal Selective Service System, if so required. If under 18 years of age, I understand that I will be registered when I attain 18 years of age as required by federal law."
Verbatim.
No draft? I know this is probably not new news to most DU'ers.
I suggest renewing by phone, which is an option, and that consent is not mentioned. Impossible to renew online at this time (and for the last 5 weeks) because the state "express site" doesn't function. I imagine renewing in person would require consent.

Interesting. If I had consented, would the SS System draft an old crone? Probably, because I'm a dissenter. Hmmmm.

As for the "Choose Life" tags, the local office told me it cost $60,000 to coin a new slogan/i.e. "Choice".
Damn.
