Draft discussion incites protests
The California College Republicans are holding a protest against Rock the Vote, arguing that discussing the draft is irrelevant because both candidates do not want to institute a draft.
California College Republicans Chairman Michael P. Davidson:
"MTV and the Kerry campaign's use of the draft to scare young voters into voting is pathetic and disgusting."While our servicemen are fighting for our country and the freedom of millions, military service should not be used as an instrument of fear. Military service is one of the most honorable deeds and any suggestion otherwise is grossly insulting.
The Rock the Vote campaign, which is non-partisan, has discussed the possiblity of a draft if violence continues in Iraq and other places in the War on Terror.
