General

Press Statement. Press statement issued prior to entering Local Board NO. 33 at Catonsville Md. ~ On May 17, 1968 we enter the Local Board No 33 to sieze and burn with napalm selective service records. Napalm has burned people the world over, and draft records have been used to exploit the young men by the ruling class. America has created enemies through its stranglehold on North and South America, control over the world's finances and massing of the world largest army. Injustice is the catalyst of revolution, and Catholics who take the Gospel seriously hail the Papal Encyclical "The Development of Peoples" as a rallying cry for the equality and justice of all peoples.
