Christian Right attacks Pagan Democratic Party officer

Blatantly stolen from DailyKos and WitchVox...

On Monday, the Christian Civic League of Maine decided to attack our county chair, Rita Moran, on the basis of her Pagan faith. This comes two weeks after a major victory in a special election in our county.

On Monday, our county chair received an e-mail from the state party chair, Ben Dudley. He was forwarding a letter from Mike Hein of the Christian Civic League. I won't post the content of the e-mail here, but the gist was it was demanding her resignation because she was Pagan.

And it goes on from there. You can imagine that by now, people are a little nervous- they are posting the location of her store, her home, and multiple methods of contact. Anyone who visits Daily Kos regularly knows that they are inviting hatemongers to attack her. And it gets even more interesting in the comments section of the website.

I'm not from Maine. I don't know the parties involved, other than this was on WitchVox. But, the Fundies think that they can dictate which religions get to be politically active and which don't? I don't frakking think so! Here's their website: http://www.kennebecdems.org/

I hope that the community rallies around her.

"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

Damn that Constitution!
