Dear Mikey and MRFF,

Mikey Weinstein is a wonderful and courageous real pioneer. The ACLU, for all the good they do, was reluctant to reach into the military. Likewise Americans United and Freedom from Religion FFRF, and American Atheists and Humanists–all are great allies. But the gap between the civilian and military worlds could only be bridged by Mikey. Using the UCMJ, using their oaths to our Constitution, this is something only Mikey has been able to do.

The military brass is not noted for being gentle toward dissenters, and the ranks have attracted zealots and bigots and hypocrites of many stripes. The violent and threatening mail you get –and handle so wittily–is evidence of your courage.

With hearty applause for Mikey and the MRFF team,

Dr. Ellery Schempp

Happy Tiger New Year.
