This is more information on anti-draft efforts. We have to got behind this sooner rather than later. I'll be sending more anti-draft and anti-recruitment in schools infomation as I learn of it. I've spoken with way too many young people in uniform--in trouble they would not be in if not for the bill of goods they were sold by recruiters and which they bought into--to not understand how badly they are misled. We must oppose this for all we are worth, peoples lives depend on it, in real terms. Jason Pirro, who I am going to be writing about, is one of the casualties of the madness we must fight to end. I don't want to have to speak with one more heartbroken mother. We have to find a way to stop this madness. In the meantime we have to fight like hell to at least get "them" to keep "their" hands off the nations young. Thanks for "listening"

Perhaps by now you've heard that at least one local draft board is training draft board volunteers about how to deal with requests for deferments for a "medical specialty" draft. If not, then please know that I've got it from a reliable source that draft board volunteers are now being trained on how to handle requests by medical personnel who wish to avoid being drafted.

Many believe that a draft is coming soon, so one must become prepared NOW.

Many men and women in the age range of 18 through 45 (yes, up to age 45 if one is involved in one of 60 "specialty" careers) are not concerned about the possibility of being forced to serve out of a belief that they can always claim Conscientious Objector status.

According to the info on the Selective Service website, however, *even if* one is awarded the distinction of being classified a Conscientious Objector with an objection to serving in the military, one will *still* be placed in the "Alternative Service Program." In other words, if a draft begins (which many believe will occur within the year), you may not have to don a military outfit, but you *will still be required to serve the government* in some other capacity.

How many Americans realize this? I, for one, did not! And while I, like many Americans, genuinely enjoy and derive great pleasure and satisfaction from helping out in volunteer service in my community, I am of the firm belief that *service*, by the very nature of the word, implies voluntary action (as in, service that stems from the heart, from one's own *free will*). In other words, even the C.O. classification of doing "Alternative Service" is still forced servitude (i.e, slavery) any way you look at it.

Please feel free to pass this around widely to those who you think might want/need to know. And if you do not believe that a person should not be *forced* into "alternative service" (ie, involuntary servitude), nor any other type of service (military or otherwise), please take action to fight an upcoming draft. There are some anti-draft website links below.

Here is the Selective Service explanation of Conscientious Objector classification status and forced "Alternative Service."
