If you or a family member are planning on having CO status (draft)

[Bouncy Ball]

you need to start working on documenting your status as a conscientious objector (CO) NOW. Do not wait.

If there is not a draft, well, no harm done.

If there IS a draft, you will be ready. You cannot just show up and say "I'm a conscientious objector." It won't work.

Anyone you know with kids aged about 16 on up who is opposed to the war needs to be told about this. START THAT STUFF NOW.

What can you do?

Check out these websites to get started.

Oh and by the way, to all lurking freepers and other bushbots, this SO doesn't apply to you. Why aren't your asses down at a recruiting station, you assholes? You voted for the man, you voted for his war, now GET GOING! Here are some good websites for you jerks:

6. Except the poor Coasties themselves, when they are deployed

...to the gulf doing interdiction and minesweeping ops off the coast of Iran!

4. Yes, yes! I second that suggestion!!!

All the SUV driving Freeps and lurkers
smirking along our roads with their cute little
yellow ribbons pasted on the backs of their
gas guzzlers need to walk their talk!
ENLIST!
You want to "support our troops?"
JOIN THEM!
Recruiting numbers are down!
Die for the lie today!

It's important to start now. People should have started months ago, really.
