I’m pleased to say that the Catholic Peace Fellowship is launching a new web project, We Go on Record: An Online Community of Conscience.
The site is both a database of conscientious objector statements from people who were in the military, and a place for people who object to war to publish their own statements of conscience. Some civilians publish CO statements so that if there is ever a draft, they will be able to establish that they’ve opposed war for some time, which is supposed to make it easier for the military to decide that you are, in fact, a conscientious objector to war.
You can send suggestions and bug reports to me at pieandcoffee@gmail.com. More CO statements will be added in the next few days.
