NEIGHBOR PAYS TO CREATE HATRED AGAINST RELIGIOUS GROUP

Recent investigation has disclosed that your neighbor, Robert Minton of 39 West Cedar St., has paid over $1.25 million to individuals who are engaged in a campaign to create hatred against members of the Church of Scientology.

The Church which sponsors many successful tutoring, drug rehabilitation and criminal reform projects and is active in the community to better the lives of all citizens was unaware that Mr. Minton has been financing this campaign until recently.

Mr. Minton's funds have been paid to bigoted individuals who have:

*engaged in spreading hundreds of pornographic and obscene messages about members of the Church on the internet (which can be accessed by anyone including children).

*made numerous threats of violence against members of the Church including sado-masochistic acts.

*been found responsible for pirating Church copyrighted materials on the internet.

*associated with and obtained the full support of the most prominent neo-NAZI in the world today as part of the campaign of hate against Scientologists.

Please join us in condemning the bigots for hire of Mr. Minton.
