why did Jimmy Carter sign Proclamation 4771, which is the first step of the military draft?

Are you sure about this? The draft was done away with just prior to the term of office for Carter. That was a long time ago. Carter has not been president since 1981. Doesn't seem to be much happening since that "First Step".

Everyone hates the draft, not only democrates but republicans and indepentants (or at least they should), however, there are times when volunteers are not strong enough to protect a country and others must be called in. Shouldn't everyone pay for what their country gives them no matter what the cost? If someone doesn't agree with the draft, then they can go to another country where the draft doesn't exist. After all, why fight for something that fights for you?

I hate to burst your bubble, but Democrats do not all think alike! This is one of the great lies that Rush's dittoheads have been brainwashed to believe: that all Democrats believe the same thing. If you've ever been to any Dem meeting, it'll take about 30 seconds to be disabused of the notion that all Democrats think alike.
Stop letting Rush Limbaugh do your thinking for you, friend.

For the same reason the "fiscally conservative" Republican, Dubya, spends like a drunken sailor.
