In regard to Representative Charles Rangel's (D-NY) plan to introduce legislation that would reinstate the draft, Pelosi stated that she did not support such legislation. 
English allows what is called a "free", "fused" or "nominal" relative construction—a relative construction</ref> that does not modify an external noun phrase, and instead has a nominal function fused into it. For example: "What he did is clearly impossible, but I saw him do it." Here, "what he did" has the sense of "that which he did", "i.e." "the thing that he did", and functions as the subject of the verb "is". Free relative constructions are inherently restrictive. English has a number of fused relative pronouns, such as "what", "whatever", and "whoever", but all can introduce other kinds of clauses as well; "what" can also introduce interrogative content clauses ("I do not know what he did"), for example, and both "whatever" and "whoever" can introduce adverbials ("Whatever he did, he does not deserve this"). See "-ever". 
Although "" is the second of the "Ring" operas, it was the third in order of conception. Wagner worked backwards from planning an opera about Siegfried's death, then deciding he needed another opera to tell of Siegfried's youth, then deciding he needed to tell the tale of Siegfried's conception and of Brünnhilde's attempts to save Siegfried's parents, and finally deciding he also needed a prelude that told of the original theft of the Rheingold and the creation of the ring. Wagner intermingled development of the text of these last two planned operas, i.e. ', originally entitled ' ("Siegmund and Sieglinde: the Valkyrie's Punishment") and what became "Das Rheingold". Wagner had first written of his intention to create a trilogy of operas in the August 1851 draft of "" (A Communication to My Friends), but did not produce any sketches of the plot of "Siegmund and Sieglinde" until November. The following summer, Wagner and his wife rented the Pension Rinderknecht, a pied-à-terre on the Zürichberg (now Hochstrasse 56–58 in Zürich). There he worked on the prose draft of "", an extended description of the story including dialogue between 17 and 26 May 1852 and the verse draft between 1 June and 1 July. It was between these drafts that Wagner made the decision not to introduce Wotan in act 1, instead leaving the sword the god had been going to bring on stage already embedded in the tree before the action starts. The fair copy of the text was completed by 15 December 1852. Even before the text of the "Ring" was finalised, Wagner had begun to sketch some of the music. On 23 July 1851 he wrote down on a loose sheet of paper what was to become the best-known leitmotif in the entire cycle: the theme from the "Ride of the Valkyries" ('). Other early sketches for ' were made in the summer of 1852. But it was not until 28 June 1854 that Wagner began to transform these into a complete draft of all three acts of the opera. This preliminary draft (') was completed by 27 December 1854. Much of the work of this stage of development of the opera overlapped with work on the final orchestral version of '. As Wagner had included some indication of the orchestration in the draft, he decided to move straight on to developing a full orchestral score in January 1855 without bothering to write an intermediate instrumentation draft as he had done for "". This was a decision he was soon to regret, as numerous interruptions including a four-month visit to London made the task of orchestrating more difficult than he had expected. If he allowed too much time to elapse between the initial drafting of a passage and its later elaboration, he found that he could not remember how he had intended to orchestrate the draft. Consequently some passages had to be composed again from scratch. Wagner, nevertheless, persevered with the task and the full score was finally completed on 20 March 1856. The fair copy was begun on 14 July 1855 in the Swiss resort of Seelisberg, where Wagner and his wife spent a month. It was completed in Zürich on 23 March 1856, just three days after the completion of the full score.

Boston Alliance Against Registration and the Draft (BAARD), was an anti-draft organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that operated between 1979 and 1990. BAARD was affiliated with the national Committee Against Registration and the Draft (CARD), which had been organized in response to President Jimmy Carter's 1979 call for draft registration.BAARD organized movements to oppose draft registration. It similarly criticized what it described as militarization and foreign intervention. It organized actions at the Cambridge, Boston, Somerville and Watertown post offices, did media outreach, and created alliances with similar anti-draft groups, peace and legal groups. Anti-military counseling and CO counseling was also organized. BAARD opposed intervention in Central America. BAARD organized two draft registration counseling sessions with NISBCO and CCCO during the first Gulf War.
