There’s a word for involuntary servitude encoded in law, Mr. O’Rourke, and it ain’t a pretty one.
O’Rourke, who currently represents the 16th District of Texas, which includes El Paso, held a town hall in Corsicana on Thursday and shared his idea with those in attendance.
O’Rourke’s idea would require “every young person,” regardless of their socioeconomic background, to serve their country in some way whether that be in military service, a medical unit, a teaching unit etc.
The only time I would consider bringing back the draft, and that’s what this is, would be if the US of A were invaded. Otherwise this is just as bad as requiring high school students to complete ‘community service’ in order to graduate. Mandatory ‘community service’ is slavery and is outlawed under the 13th Amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Seems an awful lot of elected officials have no clue about the Constitution they are sworn to uphold. But we knew that.
All you have to do to realize the Constitution is a tyrannical fraud is read the 4th Amendment which says there is a due process for alienating the unalienable liberty the founders used to create the Constitution in the first place.
To bypass the 13th Amendment, all they have to do is say anyone who dodges the draft is a criminal, then sentence them to the draft as punishment. This government/tyranny is a bad joke.
Burn the Constitution.
Declare the Declaration.
Life and Liberty. 1776.
