The House of Representatives is presently debating on HR 5741 also known as the Universal National Service Act and Slavery Bill for others. This bill was introduced last July 15 by Congressman Charles Rangel. The HR 5741 apparently will give the president the power to require all able-bodied citizens aged 18-42 to render national service either as a member of the uniformed service or in civilian service for the purposes of national defense and homeland security and these services will run for about 2 years.
This bill was first introduced by Rangel in 2003 during the time that the US is preparing for the invasion of Iraq. It was offered again in 2004, 2006 and 2007 respectively. Basically HR 5741 provides mainly for the following points:
a) It is a national service obligation for able-bodied citizens of the US both male and female ages 18-42 to render either military or civilian service
b) A military service may only be required if (1)a declaration of war is in effect ,and (2) the President declares national state of emergency which requires the need for such services and with an immediate information given to the Congress for the reasons for such declarations
c) Gives the President the authority to establish the required number of persons needed for military services and the procedures to be implemented for such selection
d) Defines the term “national service” as either military or civilian service
e) Requires those people not selected for military service to render civilian services for 2 years
f) Directs the President to carry out the act based on the prescribed regulations
g) Deferments may be made for people with mental or physical disability as well as deferments for education which is only allowed through completion of high school education or at a maximum age of 20.
As of present, this bill doesn’t have a co-sponsor yet. This bill which is popularly called the “Slavery Bill” is still on debate at the House of Representatives chaired by Rep Skelton, a democrat from Missouri.
This has been a hot topic anywhere and as expected many citizens of the country dislikes it. With this negative reactions coming from majority of the people, surely it will be very hard for this bill to pass. The members of the House of Representatives must look into this bill very carefully and consider the welfare of their constituents.
Here’s a video showing some of the opinions of Americans
This bill might be good for the government but how about its citizens. A bill which will require people to render force labor looks not good at all. Instead of making it mandatory why not consider making it voluntary. So members of the House of Representatives please think a number of times before passing a bill like this.

Our government run educational system has done a fine job of inverting, in the minds of many citizens, the relationship between the individual and their government. Our Declaration of Independence clearly spell out that it is “self-evident” that each sovereign individual possesses “unalienable Rights” including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. These are inherent rights which we possess as part of our human nature, and are not some gift bestowed upon us by a benevolent state. The Declaration continues: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed”. Individuals are not duty-bound to serve the state; just the opposite! Government is created for one very explicit purpose, which is to serve the need to protect those rights possessed by every individual member of society — and nothing more. Period!
When some government bureaucrat proposes to force you, me, or anyone else, against our respective voluntary wills, to serve the government’s interests under direction of some state administrator, whether that be for an hour, a day, two years, or a lifetime, this is nothing less than slavery, and no amount of weasel words or Orwellian doublespeak will alter or hide this simple fact.
If you value your life and the freedom to decide how you wish to live it, then you should be alarmed that this bill is even being discussed in the halls of Congress by a body of elite members who have made it clear that they intend to be the masters, ruling over us and directing every aspect and decision affecting our lives. Do not wait until it is too late to fight back against this tyranny. Rise up today in protest over this abomination and work to insure that it never sees the light of day.

Piffle. Without conscription, we'd have been licking the bottom sides of Aryan-Nazi bootheels for the last 60 years. Then you'd really know what it's like to ruled over by masters directing every aspect and decision affecting your life.
