This summer Bush is reducing DRAFT ACTIVATION time by having the SSS conduct NATIONWIDE EXERCISES to test the whole system, even to the point of filling all DRAFT BOARD vacancies and gearing up the Alternative Service for COs for the first time in three decades. The SSS this summer is finalizing the 2 documents needed for the AS to start up, the SOP identifying ASW employers and the MOUs those employers will have to sign to get those cheap, unassigned workers. THis is the last essential piece that had to be activated before the March 31 report.

LOOK FOR THE HIDDEN BOMBSHELLS IN THIS DOC. RIGHT NOW THE SSS HAS TO BE READY WITHIN 193 DAYS OF REAUTHORIZATION THROUGH A SIMPLE TRIGGER RESOLUTION (NO NEW DRAFT BILL NEEDED). ON MARCH 31, 2005, THE SSS HAS TO TELL THE PREZ THEY ARE READY TO CONSCRIPT WITHIN 75 DAYS.
GET IT? THAT'S JUNE 15, 2005 TO RUN THE FIRST LOTTERY.DISTRIBUTE THIS FAR AND WIDE!
Kerry told 130 College editors in April NO DRAFT and also recently said "If I am elected President, it will be ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY TO REINSTATE THE DRAFT."
Kerry's NO-DRAFT plan to raise 40,000 additional troops and avoid reinstatement of the draft is added up this way (my synthesis of what Kerry talks about when asked):
1. Move some paper-pushers to combat (lots of potential there)
2. Increase enlistment with real scholarships and pay, benefit raises
3. Let troops know Special Ops will hunt al-Queda, no more invasions needed, so re-up rate goes up. "Primarily a law enforcement effort, not a full military effort", say JK on MTP 4/18/04.
4. Start a "Civilian Stability Corps" that would help in reconstructing Afghanistan and Iraq and relieve military pressure.
5. GET FOREIGN TROOPS TO COME INTO INSTEAD OF LEAVE IRAQ!!
The 40,000 new troops DO NOT go to Iraq but relieve the divisions in Korea and elsewhere and THEY GO.
http://www.candidatemap.com "...I propose that we enlist thousands of them in a Civilian Stability Corps, a reserve organization of volunteers ready to help win the peace in troubled places. Like military reservists, they will have peacetime jobs; but in times of national need, they will be called into service to restore roads, renovate schools, open hospitals, repair power systems, draft a constitution, or build a police force. A Civilian Stability Corps can bring the best of America to the worst of the world—and reduce pressure on the military."

With this NO-DRAFT PLAN, Kerry will not have to resort to conscription, even after Bush screwed the whole thing up.
A President Kerry addressing the War on Terror? He will go right for the Saudi network that funds it all. Don't forget he put Bin Mahfouz, OBL's brother-in-law, under house arrest for BCCI and had him fined $225 million. And he will go renewable energy and for energy independence and has said over and over "no more soldiers will die for oil!"
BUSH '04 = DRAFT '05
KERRY '04 = PNAC OUT THE DOOR!
