INTERVIEW WITH MIKE PRYSNER

EXCERPTS FROM INTERVIEW WITH MIKE PRYSNER:

“When you take your stance against war, you are part of a heritage that goes back thousands of years. You are standing on the shoulders of thousands who have gone before you and paved the way. The protections we currently have are in place because of those who stood up in the face of many obstacles, often when the culture was wrapped up in a fervor for war, and remained true to their conscience. You are an heir to this long legacy, and a pioneer for these rights in the future.”

“What we’re experiencing now is unlike anything we’ve ever seen.  The frequency of people who are calling us and filing for conscientious objector status is much higher than at any point during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
