That says it quite well, AnEx!  Now, if each of us picked a state, not necessarily our own state, and then mailed off, say 50 of these, that would cost each of us roughly $30.  I would advise not putting one&#039;s return address on the envelope but instead the address of a post office (not one&#039;s own post office)  as the return address.  I would also advise that each of us participating mail our bulk mail from another state.  For example, if I live in California, I could choose to send all my 50 letters to towns in Florida.   I could then mail all the letters, addressed and stamped in one package to someone I know in Idaho, who would then mail them out individually.    Scrambled like this, the cult could never know for sure  or prove who actually sent what to whom. And I&#039;d also advise, when typing and otherwise handling these papers to not leave fingerprints (wear very  thin cosmetic or medical gloves) and to not spit  gum close the envelope (DNA). but instead seal with water and a sponge if envelopes are not self stick.   How do I know all this?  I read a lot of detective fiction, and I was engaged to a detective once :)  Last but not least I would suggest that each of us participating pick a state that already has a cult presence.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mikerindersblog.org/l-ron-hubbard-day-proclamation-footbullet/#comment-568646&quot;&gt;LoosingMyReligion&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi

I agree.  The logic would go something like this; 
Scientology is tax exempt
It is a religion according to Government.
Most religions have committed crimes (catholic church SA)
Ok, but that was not crimes against Government.
Scientology committed crimes against Government directly
= Snowwhite
Government = this organisation can  not be regarded a Church.
Tax exemption goes away
Scientology will struggle with the whales donating.
Scientology is now an ordinary organisation.
New rulles now applies, for Scientology, in many, if not all areas.
This logic, was not followed.
This Government failure, could not happen, in most European countries = I have no doubt that underhanded things happen, even in my country.
Kind regards Kim]]></description>

I think that&#039;s a great idea. Mayor associations could also be addressed like the U.S. Mayor Association or the African American Mayors Association or the League of Mayors etc. etc. 

A quick first draft:

Dear Sir,

The socalled Church of Scientology and its many front groups are known to regularly send bulk emails to mayoral offices requesting proclamations for L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology, Youth Against Drugs, etc etc

Please be aware and alert your members so that you do not inadvertently become sponsors or advertising tools of this pseudo-religious cult with socially dangerous activities.

We hope that as the word spreads about scientology and Hubbard, fewer and fewer officials will be tricked into signing proclamations praising Hubbard or his “drug rehabilitation” or “human rights efforts” or anything else Scientology tries to get endorsements for. 

Scientology is trying to play the system. The system needs to wake up.

Thanking you in advance.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Coming back to the Blog after reading and posting before because I just realized something:

 Whether buildings or vacant land, the more CW downtown real estate the cult acquires and keeps vacant, the less value the remaining downtown Clearwater real estate has, which in turn means more sellers wanting to unload their properties and indeed very possibly needing to sell them, making the cult&#039;s continual acquisitions of same far easier for the cult and more attractive to potential sellers in that area.  In Hubbardese this is a dwindling spiral, economically.

I suppose its one way to eventually  own an entire town;; empty it out!

Sad, really.  Clearwater could be a great little resort town for &quot;not that rich&quot; .   Snowbirds.  Or, a   retirement community. The retiree demographic is certainly there, and growing.  Not all of them want to live in The Villages.  

Of course these are just some ideas off the top of my head.  No reason why Clearwater couldn&#039;t cater resort wise and full time living wise to younger demographics.  Clearwater Beach as I recall  superb. 

 I visited some family friends in Holiday back in the early 80s before I got into Scientology.  They  took us to CW Beach  Pure, clean, soft white sand, very clean deep blue water - very nice.  I&#039;m  spoiled when it comes to beaches.

With a thriving downtown, shopping, pretty bistros and cafes, some nightlife, it CW could be lovely and lively.]]></description>

But the retraction was reported in the Daytona paper.  &quot;Close enough for government [or OSA/cultish] work.&quot;  
The poor person doing the grunt work as an &#039;amends&#039; project maybe even thought it WAS an &quot;effective blow&quot; even though it would never have been noticed by ANYone except that the mayor actually looked at what he&#039;d just done and had second or third thoughts.]]></description>
