You CAN successfully resist. During last sum- mer’s registration period, somewhere between ~ 300,000 and 1,000,000 eligible men failed to register. One respected source, the Boston Globe, con- cluded that “the registration program appears. to —( Foreign intervention 7 is counterproductive. of our intervention, all of Southeast Asia is communist.

Thousands of people: who did register refused to put down their Social Security number. And this Novembe:, a federal court ruled that you _ do NOT have to put your Social Security number on the registration form. Without that number its very difficult for Selective Service to track people down. . This winter, the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of males-only draft registration. A Philadelphia court has already ruled that registration of men discrimination. only is Unconstitutional sex Until or unless that ruling is over- turned by the Supreme Court, the government can’t rposecute any non- registrants. The draft is a blank check for foreign intervention. President Reagan claims to oppose peacetime registration and a “’peacetime draft’, but has yet to make any move to stop draft registration. Reagan still praises the Vietnam War, a war that could not have been. fought without a draft — ahd is beginning to involve us in El Salvador in a process identical to that which involved us initially in South Vietnam! To us, conscription and war represent the ulti-' mate violations of individual liberty. To libertarians, it is a fundamental moral statement that all human beings are ends in themselves, not raw material for the purposes of government, “society”, or anyone else. : In other words, we take a stand against conscription and militarism on principle. And we aren’t afraid to take our principles to their logical conclusion: you have the right to resist the draft, to break the law by refusing to reigster. Orgainzed _ resistence combined with effeetive political action is the only way the evil of the draft can ever be to- tall ended. | The only sustained period of ‘peace time’ conscription in all of American history was from 1948 to.1972. During that same period, the US used or threatened tolitary force 215 times, carrying out one major military intervention every 18 months. Is this the kind of future you want for ’ America? ~ The reason for the US military buildup is the *#N alleged Soviet desire: to take over the world. But the Soviet Union can barely hold on to what it Next month the Deseret Reefer will explore the question -of whether or not massive US involvement overseas is necessary to the defence of our country, a productive way of extending liberty throughout the world, and whether or not the Soviets are really “coming”. 3 . Don’t get too upset — there wasn’t that much difference between Jimmyey and Bonzo. We recommend two joints, twice daily, with strong internal belief in the future of liberty.

We should seek politicians devoted to and standing on the principle of freedom and liberty in all areas of endeavor; politicians to whom freedom is not a buzz-word but a living reality. It is our opinion that we will not find such people in either the Democratic or Republican parties. The very nature of such organizations precludes the principled individual from going very far. Democrats and Republicans are devoted to expediency, they always have been,and there is. absolutely no sign that they will evert change their tund — because expediency is what (at least at the present time—) wins elections. Our task is to change the entire politi- cal climate so that expediency becomes the exception, rather the rule. : than ‘It is our firm conviction that to continue to thethe movement for marijuana reform to the expedient/liberal political framework is to hitch our wagon to a dieing, fading star.
