"Mikey Weinstein and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation face a dramatic, daunting array of those driven by the goal of erasing the Constitutional basis of not only the United States Military, but the entire apparatus of American foreign policy, civil legislature, and governance itself. Regrettably, the forces of evangelical, 21st-Century Crusader Christianity comprise one of the most potent threats to democracy and the Rule of Law in the United States, instead preferring fundamentalist Christian theocratic dictate. Those patriots concerned about the civil rights of the brave men and women in our armed forces, as well as the rights of all American citizens, would do well to support the endeavors of Mr. Weinstein and the vital foundation he continues to lead."

"Unlike some, we at the MRFF don't think we have the right to force a belief system on the men and women in the military. We think — and the Constitution and Supreme Court caselaw supports us — that the right of the men and women in our armed forces to their personal choice, the right to their personal belief, the right to their religious or non-religious preference, cannot be abrogated by the government, by their superior officers, or by the Pentagon. Mr. Weinstein and the MRFF staff spare no effort protecting the religious freedom of the women and men in our military, and the costs of such an endeavor are tremendous. As such, the responsibility falls on supporters of Mikey's goals to actively support this crucial fight for the future of our country's military."

"'American Taliban' is not too powerful a descriptor for some of the fundamentalist Christians prowling our nation's streets, churches, and official places. Among the latter are the nation's armed forces. Disturbing the good order, discipline, and morale of those forces, these so-called Christians seek to subvert and conquer--and not for the country's security but for advancing their own fundamentalist agenda. That agenda envisions the end times, the Rapture--Armageddon--as its ultimate goal. Imagine America's armed forces embroiled in that agenda and you have identified the principal danger of these zealots. The MRFF fights these Taliban everywhere it finds them but principally in the US Armed Forces. This is an important fight--as vital to the country's security as any foreign fight. Support the MRFF and help it eradicate this threat."

"Mr. Weinstein and MRFF have unearthed scandal upon shocking scandal revealing a frightening blurring of the important line separating church and state within the U.S. military, comprised as it is of a diverse cross-section of Americans belonging to myriad faith traditions (or none whatsoever). MRFF has not only provided the media and legal advocacy mouthpiece for otherwise voiceless members of the U.S. military, but it has also made inroads into the halls of Congress and the Pentagon to advocate for the separation of church and state in the extremely deadly armed forces. By preventing the outright hijacking of the United States military's massive destructive capacity, the MRFF has doubtlessly made the world a safer place. The group's expansive roster of achievements makes it more than deserving of your support."

Valued MRFF Supporters,

First off, I want to thank you all for making 2014 a truly spectacular year for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) and our efforts to fortify and defend the wall separating church and state. The Constitutional freedoms that we so cherish are constantly under attack, but thanks to our efforts, as well as the valiant support of MRFF contributors and allies, the religious civil rights of our servicemembers are still largely intact.

For almost a decade, our foundation has served over 39,000 Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, cadets, midshipmen, veterans and civilian defense personnel who have encountered the scourge of undue religious coercion, influence, and proselytizing. Your 100% tax-deductible donations to MRFF have served to build a de facto shield defending these brave servicemembers from unconstitutional religious violations and spiritual torment.

As the celebrated news outlet Salon noted in a feature story on our 7-time Nobel Peace Prize-nominated foundation:

This religious malignancy can't be tolerated in a secular, nationwide fighting force unless you want to create an army of religious terrorists. [...] America needs the MRFF. The military protects everyone, all of us, agnostic, gay, liberals, conservatives, swingers and satanists. If only some people and faiths are deemed worthy of service and protection, the military becomes something else, something ugly and dangerous. America should never stand for this kind of intolerance and hate.

Ironically, the effectiveness of our ongoing fight was underscored in a snide anti-Semitic jab thrown by infamous arch-Dominionist and fundamentalist Christian televangelist Pat Robertson, who called me "one little Jewish radical" who is "scaring the pants off" of those who condone or turn a blind eye towards "Christian Jihadists" in the armed services.

Far be it from the one-man force our detractors seek to depict, MRFF's fight has been the result of the ceaseless work of an array of almost 200 talented and capable leaders, staffers, volunteers, and core supporters. Our civil rights advocacy has resounded across media platforms old and new, shaking the very foundations of Christian fundamentalist supremacy and patiently rebuilding that long-destroyed wall separating church and state within the U.S. military. Your continued support allows MRFF to remain a perpetual thorn in the side of the Christian extremist lobby.

Please make your year-end, fully tax-deductible donation today. Your assistance is urgently needed so that the ever-persistent villains among the bigoted, sectarian fundamentalist lobby don't ruthlessly hijack our military.

Your Eternal Ally,

 

Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein
Founder & President
Military Religious Freedom Foundation
