Spread the word that Bush is lying about his plans for a draft....

Here is an MP3 file of Representative Tim Ryan explaining to Congress why U.S. foreign policy is scaring young people and listing all the lies that have been told by the administration in the past. Also, explaining how there is only option left for going forward for providing troops with the current foreign policy.

2. In order for Kerry to win the election....
he can't take too extreme of a position on the war. That doesn't mean we on the internets can't!

3. bush will restart a draft

There is no doubt here. He cannot take Iran or N Korea without one, and we know he's going in.

4. read his lying lips
Take a look at what candidate bush said before he became Emperor. Everything he said was a lie; why should we believe him now?

8. Have a look at what Col. Hackworth has to say:
10-04-2004

Uncle Sam Will Soon Want Your Kids

Recently, when John Kerry brought up the possibility of a return to the draft, SecDef Donald Rumsfeld was quick to respond that Kerry was full of it.

But my take is that Kerry is right on the mark. Not only because Rummy has been flat wrong on every major military call regarding Iraq, but because this is a war that won’t be won by smart weapons or the sledgehammer firepower we see every night on the tube.

Right now – with both our regular and Reserve soldiers stretched beyond the breaking point – our all-volunteer force is tapping out. If our overseas troop commitments continue at the present rate or climb higher, there won’t be enough Army and Marine grunts to do the job. And thin, overworked units, from Special Forces teams to infantry battalions, lose fights.

<snip>

Accordingly, we need to bring our ground-fighting and support units to about the strength they were before the Soviet Union imploded, especially since the proper ratio of counterinsurgent-to-insurgent in places like the Middle East should be around 15 to 1. You don’t have to be a Ph.D. in military personnel to conclude we need more boots on the ground.

If he says it won't happen, it probably WILL.

18. Is that on the internets? Because if it is, I'm not going there!
George Bush is counting on my vote because I am loyal to my President, expecially in a time of war! And the best way for me to give him my vote is for me to not go on the internets, where there is information.

Information is bad. MMMMMkay?
