Good morning,

I can't submit a story to Slashdot since yesterday. The last line of the
http://slashdot.org/submit.pl page says "You are not allowed to use this
resource."

Jane Hamsher and I were at two of those homes this morning — one which had just been raided and one which was in the process of being raided."

The Universal National Service Act of 2007 (H.R.393) was introduced to the United States House of Representatives on January 10, 2007 by Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.). It proposed the requirement that all residents in the United States aged between 18 and 42 carry out national service, and be available for conscription during wartime. It would allow no deferments after age 20.
The text of the bill can be found at govtrack."
