There is a bill making its way through the Senate and the House of Representatives, which essentially is a return of the DRAFT. No surprise there, I just hope they try it BEFORE the election. Unfortunately, I think they are just letting it sit there until they see who wins the election; if it's the shrub, watch this one go on the fast track; if not, we may have a reprieve. Either way, I hope young people and their parents will write to their congresspeople and let them know this will NOT be allowed.

There's a good article/analysis of it HERE.

Also, you can read a synsopsis of each bill and track its progress by going to this page, or, read the whole thing by going to http://thomas.loc.gov and enter in HR 163 or S89.
