JOIN YOUR LOCAL DRAFT BOARD The Pentagon quietly published the following on its “Defend America” website on September 22.  The Pentagon is canvassing for draft board volunteers.  A bit disturbing, isn’t it?  Nevertheless, I ask all of you that are willing to follow the link and volunteer for your local draft board.  Think about it.  You might have the opportunity to ensure that the son of a rich Republican has the same chance to serve his country as every other eligible young man.       Serve Your Community and the Nation   Become a Selective Service System Local Board Member The Selective Service System wants to hear from men and women in the community who might be willing to serve as members of a local draft board. Prospective Board Members must be citizens of the United States, at least 18 years old, and registered with the Selective Service (if male). Prospective Board Members may not be an employee of any law enforcement occupation, not be an active or retired member of the Armed Forces, and not have been convicted of any criminal offense. Once identified as qualified candidates for appointment, prospective Board Members are recommended by the Governor and appointed by the Director of Selective Service, who acts on behalf of the President in making appointments. Each new member receives 12 hours of initial training after appointment, followed by 4 hours of annual training for as long as he or she remains in the position. They may serve as Board Members for up to 20 years, if desired. Local Board Members are uncompensated volunteers who play an important community role closely connected with our Nation's defense. If a military draft becomes necessary, approximately 2,000 Local and Appeal Boards throughout America would decide which young men, who submit a claim, receive deferments, postponements or exemptions from military service, based on Federal guidelines. Positions are available in many communities across the Nation. If you believe you meet the standards for Selective Service Board Membership, and wish to be considered for appointment please visit our web site at: http://www.sss.gov/fslocal.htm     Diane Greene Lent took some excellent photos of D.C. protest Oct. 25   Our thanks to Brother Dave for the links. 9:58:26 AM    comment []

Take Dante's Inferno Test, and find out which circle of Hell has your reservation. Dr. Omed will issue a get-out-of-hell-free pass to all pilgrims who report the flavor of their damnation. Dr. Omed scored very high for gluttony (circle 3)  and heresy (circle six). 8:43:40 AM    comment []
