National Security IS something that Joe Serra is determined to discuss. Joe Serra thinks we need to bring a FORM of the draft back. He wants young adults between the ages of 18 & 25 to be able to be trained for civil service for one year and then begin college or join the military or go to work in whatever field they endevor. They are in a National guard type of arrangement for several years and remain eligible for military service for several more years.

We are not secure. Our Military has been abused, we really do have a hard time enticing young men and women into service and it's not a bottomless supply of soldiers. We need to be ready for anything in today's world and Joe thinks this is the absolute best way to quickly increase our security. Joe is running on this. I tell you what, I hate the thought of a draft because I have a son who is 18, but I agree with Joe Serra that we need to take a VERY serious look at this option.

Joe has been in touch with Congressman Charlie Rangel's office who supports Joe's efforts.
