Sponsor Stu for The Military Religious Freedom Foundation!

To those copied...my friend Stuart Bechman is completing his first year as president of the board of Atheist Alliance International.  Last Tuesday he bowled as a sponsorship event.
So, it's too late to buy a cents/dollars per pin felled option, but never too late to contribute!
 
Stuart:
I tried to put you at your goal, but perhaps my math isn't so good...
I copied this from the website after it registered my contribution....

Fundraising target:

$1,000
So far I have raised: $999.50

I'm still laughing.

Sponsor Me for MRFF's Bowl-For-Our-Troops Fundraiser!
 Dear Frish,

I am writing to you because I know you care about church-state separation in this country, and that you are shocked and dismayed at how our US military has become the overseas proselytizing arm of the Christian Right over the past twenty years.
 
Mikey Weinstein and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) is the prominent organization in the United States that is standing up to this abuse of our military and demanding a restoration of that institution to upholding the First Amendment values that were the foundation of our Constitution and our Republic.
 
But MRFF can't carry out its great work without your support.  MRFF is holding a Bowl-For-Our-Troops Fundraiser THIS COMING TUESDAY, September 22, at various venues across the country.  In southern California, that event is happening at the JEWEL CITY BOWL in Glendale, California from 7-10pm.  I will be joining MIkey, his wife Bonnie, and actor and activist Ed Asner in raising money for Mikey and his foundation to protect our First Amendment rights.
 
We're looking for additional bowlers and sponsors for this event.  If you can join us, we ask that you find ten friends who will sponsor you at $0.06 per pin or $12 per game.  If you can't join us but want to support me as I Bowl for the Troops, I ask that you sign up at my FirstGiving webpage:

Help me raise a minimum of $300 for the MRFF this coming Tuesday.
 
You can find out more details about this event at: http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/bowling/
Help us restore our military to the proud professional force it once was!
