Friends, MRFF is doing the Lord's work (so to speak)--and paying for it, too.
You ought to see the foul emails they get, day after day, and hear the threats phoned in, day after day. The stuff is really toxic, as there are, of course, some seething people out there--livid types who can't contain their racist bile or, especially, their antisemitism. Most of them are, fortunately, much too cowardly to go beyond anonymous invective; and yet you never know. (Look what happened at the Holocaust Museum on this very day.) And so MRFF has to spend a lot just on increased security for Mikey Weinstein and his family; and this is only part of it, since MRFF's all-important litigation--suing the DoD for allowing Christianists to run the military, in blatant violation of the Constitution -- also costs a lot. So please do try to donate what you can, even though these are tough times. Understand that they're not getting any help from the Anti-Defamation League (which never would offend the ultra-right supporters of the right-wing government of Israel), or any help, of course, from Pres. Obama (who has actually expanded Bush's "faith-based" programs, even though they too are fundamentally unconstitutional). It's therefore up to those of us who care about the First Amendment to step up and help, by doing whatever we can do.
