"JOIN US IN THIS CONFRONTATION WITH IMMORAL AUTHORITY"

The U.S. government, faced with a _war it cannot justify, has decided to try to stifle opposition by going after the adult leadership of the movement against the war and the draft. The Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Jr., chaplain of Yale University; Dr. Benjamin Spock, pediatrician; Marcus Raskin, former White. House aide; Mitchell Goodman, author; and Michael Ferber, Harvard University graduate student -- these five men have been indi_cted for "counseling, aiding and abetting Selective Service registrants to resist the draft". As an immediate response to this action, a statement supporting these men and other resisters of the war has been issued and is being circulated across the country. We call on others to sign the statement below ;;tnd return it to:
