How is it that you have nothing better to do than take for granted the protection given to you by our nation’s military while you criticize and harass them? YOU are the utter disgrace and the very name of your organization is disrespectful. I have nothing left to say to such ignorant, ungrateful wastes of humanity other than this – you’ll get yours. You can hope you won’t.  You can go to sleep wishing you won’t. But in the back of your mind, know that you WILL get your comeuppance and just the thought of that puts a smile on my face.

Dear (name withheld),

I am writing in response to you May 18, 2015 email to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (“MRFF”).  You clearly do not understand the mission and work of MRFF.  I hope I can provide some clarity on these issues.

MRFF’s mission is to protect the religious freedom of all soldiers, sailors, Marines, cadets, and veterans.  It receives numerous complaints every day from service members throughout the country who are suffering from religious discrimination or persecution at the hands of their superiors.  MRFF does everything it can to correct the wrongs inflicted on these individuals.  Contrary to your claim that MRFF “take[s] for granted the protection” given by the U.S. military, it works tirelessly to defend these protections on behalf of the brave men and women who sacrifice so much to protect our rights

Concerning your claim that Mikey Weinstein and/or the board members and volunteers will get our “comeuppance,” I assume you are referring to some sort divine punishment.  To the extent you may be implying that such “comeuppance” will be at your hands, I feel it is necessary to remind you that threats are not protected by First Amendment and if you choose to send any further correspondence clarifying an intent to actually threaten or harm Mr. Weinstein or any member of MRFF, he has legal remedies available to him.  That said, I assure you that MRFF has already begun to receive what it deserves for its work: seven nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the gratitude of all its clients and family members and numerous supporters and volunteers.

Are you still smiling?  I know I am.

Blessed be,

Tobanna Barker

    Ya, right Tobanna. Your sham organisation which list itself as a non profit, yet it’s founder draws a salary of nearly $300k, is nothing more than a talking head. Not only do you preach “1st ammendment for all” in one breath and then No Muslims in the next, but you do so while touting yourself as being hand in hand linked to the military in a positive way. Your “Dear Leader” is a con man who attacks the very freedom he says he wants to protect. Case in point, the great man, General Craig Olson. You have come after him like a woman scorned. Let me remind you since you must be spending your time rising jet skis or skiing in vale at your “second home”; EVERY military oath ends with “So Help Me God”. Whether in uniform or out, whether on active duty or not, whether in the military or not; it is everyone’s right to talk about their faith and he role it has played in their career. As a disabled vet (disabled while on active duty protecting your sorry asses) who did more than his fair share for this country, you, your organisation and your lackeys that work for you are a disgrace to the good name of the military, to religious people in general and to this nation. I’m sure eventually someone will see the error of your ways and shut you down for being the disgrace that you are. Don’t worry, I fully intend to share your shit website with everyone. Including ALL of my numerous contacts in the Air Force. Good day ass hat.
