re: #496 Jim in Virginia

Was Ron Paul there too?

No, but Scientology mailing lists and hangaround lists were telling their members to vote for Ron Paul, and to vote for certain candidates for other public office. They have a couple of PACs, most prominent ones called Citizens for Social Reform (CSRPAC) and Florida Citizens for Social Reform (FCSR), and the CCHR is closely linked to this. These emails have been leaked on wikileaks.

And through the National Foundation for Women Legislators, which isn’t a pure Scientology group but highly influence by them, people like John Coale and Kelly Preston socialize with with Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, etc. and promote their anti-drug and anti-psychiatry stance.

Scientology likes Ron Paul because he’d let them pay less taxes and do their cult stuff without too much interference.
