Am close to the same situation here, but would also die rather than bow to those who subvert the constitution. I believe we were created by God for a purpose and hopefully everyone will serve that purpose...

On Morse for comm listening is worth far more than writing IMHO
To learn Morse Code your PC can help a lot.
Here is a link to ARRL code practice MP3 files http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/morse.html
You can download (also the text file of what is being sent) and listen at several speeds, I'd suggest 5-10 WPM for a while.
Also from ARRL is this link http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/learncw/ Some of the programs for study can use MP3 files. For me keeping CW as "sounds" was much better than writing down 'dits & dahs' in other words just write down the text.
Here is a free program that can be downloaded

Just attach your radio speaker to the PC Mic or Line input. Or set the radio speaker close to the PC built-in Mic (acoustical coupling). Keep the radio volume LOW. Use the program to 'verify' what you are copying on paper. The main thing is to learn it!
