Message | The draft is slavery. This is the draft, only difference is it's during peace time. The strongest army is one of volunteers, willing to fight and die for their country. Voting in favor of this bill would be to severely diminish our citizen's civil rights, our military's morale and effectivness, therefore our nation's security. This bill will never be supported by the Liberty Party. |
