Dear Mikey,
I wanted to thank you and your organization the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. I am a Registered Nurse Advocate from Eastern Wa and after hitting a dead end while seeking assistance in halting an unconstitutional chaplaincy program, I really felt that you cared, you were passionate and you assisted me in connecting to the appropriate people. I had not found this tenacity when reaching out to the ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, or the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has no obligation to help my case given the absence of a military nexus. I received no response from these other organizations and had resorted to despair. I contacted Mikey as a last ditch effort and I felt heard and appreciated and for the first time experienced a glimmer of hope. His response was immediate and he included me in his correspondence and followed through. I have not seen this level of passion with any other of the mentioned organizations. The separation of church and state is not only a moral issue but a practical, legal and political one. Religious freedom has never been more important as it is today. The Christian Nationalist agenda that underlies the “Conservative Promise” in the Heritage Foundation’s project 2025 manifesto, is a direct threat to democracy and should be opposed with vigor and passion at every level. The Conservative- majority U.S. Supreme Court has effectively chipped away at the wall separating church and state in a series of new rulings over the last two years. This should give the population pause. Mikey Weinstein is fierce, passionate and in my interactions with him it is obvious that he cares and is invested a rarity not seen often enough in large organizations that tout advocacy.
Yours truly,
