Neil Robertson burned his draft card on October 16 at the Arlington Street Church in Cambridge, Mass. Neil Robertson is a member of the New England Resistance, whose ideal, he states in a Boston Globe article of November 15, "is to break down the system, to have so many people turn in their draft cards that the draft won't function."
"I believe I'm a patriot," Neil says. "We love our country, but we can't stand to see it in this unjust war. ... I'm not willing to go to jail ... but I'm prepared." That's what one Sixty-six has been doing. Other classmates, concerned with the same problems, have chosen alternative courses of action.
