My cousin has just filed suit against the selective service system and it was written up in the Washington Post today. He does a good job of presenting his case in a video post on the site so I will let him do the talking. I hope that we in the online Quaker community can think of ways that we can make this issue more publicly recognized through Toby's action. Do you agree with how he's going about it? Not? Give him support or suggestion on his site below.
Dear friend,
I filed a suit today at the DC federal court house, declaring that I should be allowed to register for the draft only if I can do so as a recognized conscientious objector to all war.
And I can prove it, here's my article in the post along with a short but fascinating video of yours truly and my lawyer, Art.

If you have the time, please forward this link on to anyone who you think would be interested. I've only sent it out to a handful of my friends, but it's really an important part of this whole legal venture that word get spread-- and especially to young people who'll be facing draft registration in the near future.
Also perhaps relevant, my website, www.registerforpeace.org.
Thank you so much for your time!
Best,
Toby
