[Bush_Eats_Beef]

a statement with the institution of higher education where the person
intends to attend or is attending that he is in compliance with the
Military Selective Service System Act. Furthermore, Section 12(f)(3) of
the Military Selective Service System Act authorizes the Secretary of
Education, in agreement with the Director of the Selective Service, to
prescribe methods for verifying the statements of compliance filed by
students.
Section 484(n) of the HEA <20 U.S.C. 1091(n)>, requires the
Secretary to conduct data base matches with SSS, using common
demographic data elements, to enforce the Selective Service
registration provisions of the Military Selective Service Act <50[br />U.S.C. App. 462(f)], and further states that appropriate confirmation
of a person's shall fulfill the requirement to file a separate
statement of compliance.

BILLING CODE 8015-01-P

[July]

1. kick. nt

[revree]

2. RIOTS WILL BEGIN SOON ...

Once Repuglican youth find out they are getting drafted.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

3. The riots would begin TODAY if people KNEW about it...

I just happened to click on Daily KOS as a matter of routine.

HOW COINCIDENTAL is it that TWO DAYS after the election, the Selective Service files for records-matching capability with the DOE?

NO coincidence.

Welcome to Bush-Cheney II.

[byronm]

22. Need a way to track this stuff

I'm overusing the word like crazy - but if we had a democratic/liberal thinktank that followed the war and issues related to human rights, selective service, draft issues and quality of life abroad and within we would have more answers on this..

were just fighting the issues they (Repubs) create instead of working on solving our agenda.. "you bad, me good"

[Cocoa]

4. maybe this is routine

maybe this is done every month.

I personally can't tell what this means, there is no perspective or explanation of this document.

[The Spirit of JFK]

5. Well with all the kids failing out of the failing schools....

they need to go SOMEWHERE.

No Child LEft Behind...a joint venture between the US Department of Education and the US military. Nice.


I think this is pretty much standard practice....see who is elgible and then try to recruit them.

I think we should forward it to every college newspaper, though.....start putting the fear out.

[eleny]

6. I thought they already did this

And parents had to opt out in order to maintain privacy for their kids. A friend in Florida opted out when this was an issue several years ago. Is this something different? Sounds the same as what they already do. It's bad news no matter what.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. It must be different (or modified) because it was filed today n/t

[Cocoa]

9. I think this is about college

what you are talking about I think is something from Leave No Child Behind, and involved high school kids.

Again, it's not clear what this document is about, but it references financial aid, so that tells me it's about college.

[eleny]

24. Yes, my friend's kid was in high school

Sorry it took so long to respond.

[RevCheesehead]

8. Well, they can take the Republican kids first.

[daa]

16. Republican kids don['t serve

Look at the repuke leadership, other than General Powell and McCain, repukes don't serve. Like crashcart says, they have more important things to do.

[Cobalt Violet]

10. I hope they draft Heavily from the red states.

That would be so great.

[atreides1]

13. All States

Will be drafted from, not just the red ones, those kids in the blue states will be getting notices as well.

But when your Bush supporting friend or family member starts to grumble, remind them that it was all about morals and values, just not theirs.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. What did you expect?

Did you think Bush was telling the truth? He never has told the truth about anything else!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

12. Not unexpected at all...just surprising 2 days after the election

...now we'll get to see all of the OTHER things that were put "on hold" prior to Nov. 2nd.

[DUreader]

15. why surprised, the media won't report this

[Hephaistos]

17. ...2 days after the election

I was thinking the same thing - what took them so long?

Now the Iran invasion will have to be delayed by an extra day, and Dubya's pump-arm is already gettin' itchy.

[hangemhigh]

14. Sadly, there are people stupid enough

to gladly suit up and go over to kill "Ay-rabs" to "pertect America" "Git Al Kayder"

That's not to say there won't be a backlash, but as proven this week, they are out there. When I get the first call from one of my bible banging friends about their son having to go to war, my comment will be, "Great, I'm so excited for you! What a great way to show your support."

[sbj405]

18. While I believe the draft is coming, I wonder if this action is routine

to check for registration compliance. Just a thought :shrug:

[archineas]

19. agreed

i recall from my undergraduate days that financial aid departments were pretty draconian about having your SSS number on file. i, too, wonder if this is an annual event, because i know you cannot get federal financial aid without having registered.

definitely worth keeping an eye on, however.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

20. This started during bush's first administration (which I guess

we are still in) and you have to opt out with a privacy clause but this is as good a place as any to remind parents with teenagers of that. OPT OUT. Call your kid's school counselor and ask them, they know all about it.

[cire4]

21. KICK!!!!

[Red State Rebel]

23. DON'T PANIC!!

What they are doing is enforcing registering for the draft by not allowing students to get government grants for college if they haven't registered.

A pissy way to be, but that is all they are doing at this time.
