"When one proudly dons a U.S. Military uniform, there is only one religious symbol: the American flag. There is only one religious scripture: the American Constitution. Finally, there is only one religious faith: American patriotism."
MRFF Founder and President, Michael L. "Mikey" Weinstein
LISTEN: Ed Asner’s 5/25/21 Voicemail to Mikey Weinstein “Keep it up”
Published On: August 30, 2021|Categories: News|4 Comments|
[Transcribed from voicemail below which Ed Asner left for MRFF Founder & President Mikey Weinstein on 5/25/21.]
“Hi Mikey, this is Ed Asner.
I just wanted to say I’m delighted to see that you’re still doing the ‘Lord’s work’ and separating the grifters from the saints.
Keep it up, and anything I can do for you let me know. Buckle up.
And Mike Farrell certainly kept me informed about you.
It is a crushing blow to lose such a wonderful person. The personal recording of his voice is so much more cherished, now that he’s gone. It was especially kind of him to leave this to you, Mikey.

You are NOT doing GOD’S work! You seriously think Jesus would approve of your battle against Christianity? Oh wait…I believe you people would also be against any nativity on display as well. You want freedom from religion, not freedom of religion or you wouldn’t be against the Shields of Faith. What is wrong with you idiots. Leave these men and women alone. They fight for you too, you know.

Janet Mrakovich,
You come into the last voicemail from Ed Asner to Mikey and spread your bile and hate. Tell me again who practices honor and respect.
At this time of the year it is wise to remember those who’ve placed themselves against us. They too are deserving of love.
Grey One Talks Sass is off for the holiday. May peace and love, no matter one’s faith or non faith, enter our lives in the most serendipitous and synchronized manner.

MRFF’s RESPONSE TO THE DETRACTOR’s COMMENT BELOW:
CHARITY NAVIGATOR RATES MRFF WITH A 100% PASSING “GIVE WITH CONFIDENCE” GRADE ON ITS FINANCES AND ACCOUNTABILITY. CHARITY NAVIGATOR IS THE LARGEST AND MOST-UTILIZED EVALUATOR OF CHARITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
“During the past decade, Military Religious Freedom Foundation founder and president Mikey Weinstein has been a vocal advocate for the separation of church and state in the military.
But according to an Air Force Times examination of MRFF tax filings, what Weinstein pays himself for running MRFF is well more than the typical top salaries at most nonprofits, military-related or otherwise.
In 2012, Weinstein received total compensation worth $273,355 — about 47 percent of all money MRFF raised through contributions and grants that year, according to IRS filings accessed on the nonprofit transparency website GuideStar.Weinstein votes on his own salary as part of a three-member board that is smaller than the five-member board Charity Navigator recommends for nonprofits. And MRFF counts him — a paid employee — as an independent voting board member, an apparent violation of IRS rules.”
