Hey, I don't usually do petitions but this one is powerful. Several hundred brave students have already signed, so please pass this along to anyone you know who is under 27.

THE "WE WON'T GO" PLEDGE--A CALL TO ACTION
Is the draft coming back? More and more signs point that way--the Steady stream of casualties from the occupation of Iraq, the "back-door draft" being used to conscript troops whose enlistments are up, the collapse of recruitment, especially into the National Guard. We in the Progressive Student Alliance, an organization of students at the University of Tennessee dedicated to the fight for social justice and peace, are determined to take a stand against this threat. We call on all those who oppose the Iraq war and the possibility of their forced participation in it to pledge themselves, publicly, to refuse to serve in the armed
forces as long as this country continues to wage war in or occupy the
sovereign nation of Iraq.

We ask that you sign our pledge at
http://www.wewontgo.org:

We, the undersigned young women and men, are eligible to serve in the U.S. armed
forces, and if the draft is re-instated we may be subject to induction. We
pledge, however, that we will not serve in the U.S. armed forces as long as U.S.
troops are occupying or waging war in Iraq."
This pledge serves two
purposes--it alerts our sisters and brothers to the danger of a reinstituted
draft and, as thousands of us sign, it puts This and future Presidential
Administrations, the Congress and the American public on notice that we won't be
fighting or dying for this war.
