Rev. Moon and * and other church's coffers...Is it time and how
would we go about getting all of the Moonie stuff out there to split off the nutcases (who I am convinced are recipients of Moon's largesse) from the mainstream churches. It worked with my aunt. She "got right with God" when she was able to understand that Falwell, Robertson, and some others as well as some of the prominent politicians and the * family were cozied up to Rev. Moon. She also took it to her church and set more than a few straight there too.

This political corruption and its link to corruption in the "faith-based community" needs to be sharply drawn...and now.

1. Moon is involved financially in mega churches and faith based initiatives
At least four operatives of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church are on the federal payroll or getting government grants through President George W. Bush's "Healthy Marriage Initiative" and other "faith-based" programs.

An investigative report by the San Francisco Chronicle found troubling connections between a government - sponsored "Certified Marriage Education Training Seminar" and Moon front groups. The Oakland seminar was led by Josephine Hauer, a graduate of Moon's Unification Theological Seminary in New York and a "marriage specialist" in the employ of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

While Hauer promoted "healthy marriage culture" as a federal employee , critics are concerned about her connection to Moon's organizations. Before working at HHS, she directed the marriage education program at the University of Bridgeport which was taken over by a Moon group in 1992.

The three-day government seminar awarded certificates to participants issued by her former university.

2. These are the very people that Delay was tapping as
his "whackos" he can always count on for money and to show up to vote. How can we captitalize on this?
