A Pagan/Witch Goes to Washington...
Patrick McCollum of Lady Liberty League and Circle Sanctuary, just received
confirmation that he has been selected to be on a special panel to be
one of 6 people to brief the United States Commission on Civil Rights
-- for presentation to the United States Congress and to the President
of the United States -- about the state of religious discrimination in
America. In particular, Patrick will talk about the differential
treatment that Wiccans and Pagans receive in government institutions
and programs, with the hope that our legislators will enact new
policies to further pluralism and end religious discrimination. This
briefing will be held at the Capitol in Washington DC on February 8th, 2008, and will become an official part of the Congressional Record.
This is obviously an incredible honor and it will be the first time in US
history that a Wiccan has been selected to present a briefing to advise
the United States Government. Patrick will also be sworn in, under the
Goddess, which in itself, is also an important and timely first.
Please send Patrick lots of energy on morning of the 8th. The briefing
will start at 9:00 AM EST.
