Draft Bored
Truthout reprinted a Seattle Post-Intelligencer article saying that the Department of Defense has taken down its website asking for people to volunteer for draft boards.

Some of us signed up to join those boards; has anyone recieved information on them yet?

1. I have not and I also signed up on a different site.
http://www.sss.gov/fslocal.htm

You can still sign up there. I encourage everyone here to do so. These boards can be filled with them. Or they can be filled with them and us.

2. The polls numbers didn't add up
A return of the draft, even just an announcement of it, will be big trouble for Bush.

So, being the pandering pvssy that he is, he's opted to foresake national security for the security of his own job.

4. I returned my application
I received an application form and returned it, but so far no reply.

As soon as I hear something, I'll be sure to post it here.
