DESCRIPTION:Community members are invited to join prominent local activists Paul George 
 and Michael Closson in debating the question of whether anti-war activists 
 should oppose or support a new military draft.    With talk of a renewed 
 military draft in the air - and legislation for a new draft sitting in 
 Congress - a disagreement is brewing within activist circles.  Michael 
 Closson, Executive Director of Acterra, says a new draft will build 
 opposition to the continuing occupation of Iraq, much as it did during the 
 Vietnam War, and will spread the burden of the conflict more equitably than 
 the current “economic draft”.  Paul George, Director of Peninsula Peace 
 and Justice Center, opposes a new draft because he believes it will serve 
 only to fuel the current and future conflicts, and because it stands in 
 stark contrast to the ideals of the peace movement.  The discussion will be 
 moderated by Elliot Margolies, Executive Producer at the Community Media 
 Center.  Free; sponsored by Peninsula Peace and Justice Center.\n
