Now 73 years later, many of us will continue that tradition of openly resisting taxes for nuclear weapons.

Coincidentally, in 1969 I was “fortunate” to have been ordered by my draft board to report to the Oakland (Calif.) Induction Center on August 6th where I refused to join the U.S.Army, noting to the officials I came in contact with that this was the 24th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. They weren’t particularly sympathetic or interested.
