H.R. 5741?

Slavery bill H.R. 5741 is now in debate

H.R. 5741 is currently being argued in the house of representatives. If passed, H.R. 5741 will give the president the power to require 2 years of compulsory service from every US resident between ages 18 and 42. That's not a misprint: everyone between ages eighteen and forty-two will be required to serve in any capacity at the president's whim.

This bill will destroy US commerce as citizens are reassigned to service. The bill's sponsor is Charles Rangel, a democrat from New York. The bill does not yet have a co-sponsor. It was introduced on July 15th and is now before the armed services committee.

Prison Planet reports, "Under this new legislation nearly all, able bodied Americans will be sentenced to two years of forced labor. The infrastructure is already in place for those unwilling to participate in mandatory service and now the army is looking to fill it’s ranks with Interment/Resettlement Specialists."

"The slavery bill is currently in debate in the House Committee on Armed Services chaired by Rep Ike Skelton a democrat from Missouri. Those who oppose mandatory slavery should contact Rep. Skelton. Many bills die in committee and this bill should meet the same fate."

The slavery bill H.R. 5741 is now being debated. It will allow the president to require 2 years of service between every US resident between 18 and 42. The Libertarian Examiner says. "The bill HR5741 is government sanctioned slavery. Read it and weep."

I know it is the examiner but it is a real bill

Wow... first I heard of this (admittedly not up on the news as I should be). I know many countries have mandatory service once a person hits a certain age but a retroactive mandatory service for people up to 42 years old? What say you?

serially, go to fark's front page for the debunking, you know better than this.

Yeah, I saw exactly what you posted there. But I read the thread and it brought up an honest debate about mandatory service and I was hoping it might do the same here. Oh well, I guess it is just easier to point fingers and call me a retard instead of discussing the ideas this crackpot is suggesting.

what do you want to know about mandatory service? i ran away from a country that had it just in time, many of my peers ran away from countries that had it (israel included) and some couldn't run away fast enough and had to go through it (finland). all my male relatives older than me have been there, many of the people i grew up with went through it.

what this bill is talking about isn't mandatory service, however.

In a way it is. Sure it's not saying "you have to spend 2 years after high school in the armed forces" but it is saying that if it passes, you are obligated to give up 2 years if asked, up to the age of 42. So while no, it isn't mandatory service for all new kids growing up, it technically is much broader.

and different from the draft laws you have now?

We don't have a draft law per se. We have a selective service requirement. meaning when you turn 18 you must register with the selective service board. In the time of a national emergency/war, warranting a draft you could then be called to serve.

And unless they changed something, once you're 26 that's it. Even if there was a draft, I would not be considered.
