H.R.5741: Mandatory Service in the Armed Forces

Do you support a requirement that ever person between the ages of 18 and 42 serve at least two years in the Armed Forces? New York’s Charles Rangel thinks you should:

H.R.5741 – Universal National Service Act

To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.

See http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-H5741/text for full details on this bill.

Please contact Representative Bishop and let him know if you support mandatory, forced service, or if you are opposed to Mr. Rangel’s bill.
