The Center on Conscience & War's Maria Santelli & Bill Gavin show the Selective Service  registration to be an outdated, inefficient, inadequate $25M-a-year system to muster troops violates. Plus it violates the rights to freedom of conscience & religion with extra-judicial, unconstitutional penalties without due process.
We discuss the above and our nation's inconsistent policies and court rulings on freedom of conscience and religion as they pertain to war, cake art, abortion, and conception.

Let the commission know you think:
1)     Draft registration should be ended for everyone, not extended to women;

2)     All criminal, civil, federal and state penalties for failure to register must be ended and overturned to protect rights to freedom of conscience & religion for those currently living under these penalties;

3)     National service should remain voluntary. Compulsory service, whether civilian or military, is in conflict with the principles of a democratic republic and free society;

4) IF the draft registration is not ended, provide a check box or mechanism to document Conscientious Objection to combat or military participation to protect rights of freedom of religion and conscience while satisfying requirements and avoiding  extra-judicial civil, federal and state penalties.
