I'm puzzled by this talk of reinstating the draft... I went to Congress.org to see who sponsored S 89 and HR 163, and discovered a slew of Dem sponsors. No Repubs, just Dems. This has me puzzled. Why just Dems?

1. I know Rangel did it to make a point. |

Only the poor are serving and dying in Iraq.
He wanted to see a little more fairness about who is called to serve in the military.

I get the picture. Thank you Muriel. (I'm about as sharp as a tennis ball sometimes :-)

that Rangel's bill does not need to pass for the draft to be reinstated.
The current draft can be reactivated.
