Question: my video collective is making a documentary on military recruitment and possibly on the draft but we aren't sure what legislation has already gone through or even has been proposed. i've heard mixed things about this but have heard that something was passed in terms of setting up the structure for the draft to be implemented. can you send me any info you can find about this? specifically, the exact language of the legislation and the dates for when it was proposed/passed and who proposed it.
thanks! you guys rock!

S.89: The Senate Bill introduced by Fritz Hollings
HR 163 is the Bill that congress put fourth by Rep. Charles Rangel and John Conyers. This bill essentially says that if there is a draft, it must include everyone regardless of race, gender and status.
