Number Power

Organizing Resistance around
the first of next year and thereafter
will enable people throughout the
country to see the numbers
committed to resistance. Setting a
date will enable draft-eligible men
and people forced to register to feel
more collective and less isolated
from each other in dealing with the
Selective Service System.

We can take a collective stand of
non-cooperation only if we
overcome this isolated feeling
perpetuated purposely by the draft
system. Individually "beating the
draft" is no solution, as it
perpetuates the draft and the war.
