For the good of America I believe we should reinstate the draft...

...and I believe we should start with Elizabeth Warren.

1. Ouch.

Ya got me.

I wanna see what happens withBernie first, mostly because he's at least in.

4. I was just poking the people who say "No means no!".

I recall a time when answering a call to patriotic duty was an offer you couldn't refuse.

7. That practice has declined....

like a lot of other things.

11. I remember that time too.

In fact, it happened to me in 1967.

6. Actually I was advocating a draft Warren movement. N/T

9. Sorry I will delete my comment.

3. BERNIE!!!!!!!

[catnhatnh]

10. I'm supporting Bernie too.

I just think Warren's got better name recognition and would make the first female president thing moot. And I could swing Sanders/Warren or Warren/Sanders...

14. Bernie is the only candidate telling the truth about oligarchy.

Elizabeth Warren's very focused message on economics is important and welcome. But her policy agenda does not clearly challenge the MIC and the secret government, the surveillance state, and the police state that are dismantling democracy in this nation.

We don't just need to be more economically comfortable within an authoritarian state. We need restoration of our democracy and our Bill of Rights.

We need reform of our elections. We need restoration of our civil liberties. We need an end to the surveillance state and the militarization of our police forces, and the private prison industry, and the endless wars for profit.

17. That brings a tear to my eye.

I saw his bandwagon on a friend's property years ago.

15. There was a book once by

Leo Slezard(?), which went just in that direction.
Now that we have computers as well as neurologists,
it may be interesting that candidates cannot run, but
would be drafted.
a fascinating idea, but totally unconstitutional, I am afraid.

16. Only if there are no exception except for being disabled. And we can give many of them desk jobs.

No privilege exceptions for college, Congress, or the 1%.

18. Many of us here

Detest the word "draft".
