A note on the Draft from Howard Dean
<> -Text of an email from Howard Dean
<> Last week 60,000 of us demanded honesty about the draft - and people
took notice. Cable news channels and major newspapers have been buzzing
about the draft ever since.
Other organizations also heard. MoveOn and a group called Win Back
Respect produced a TV ad about this issue. Over a million young people
will see it on The Daily Show, MTV, and ESPN.
You can add to this momentum even more - sign the petition demanding
honesty about our military commitments:

We still need to get the message out. The mainstream media coverage has
focused on unsubstantiated rumors of some "secret plan" for a draft.
They are missing the point.
It's not about a secret plan - we should be concerned about a draft
because, when it comes to meeting all of the military commitments he has
made, George Bush has no plan.
