U.S. Government Officials - contact list

CONTACT LIST FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICES

The only way that our government can know that you

have been hurt is for you to say “ouch”. Contact

these agencies today. Scientology will no doubt

react with a campaign of their own.

This is a resource page to aid you in reporting your experience with
the Church of Scientology to U.S. government agencies. Any attempt to silence, intimidate, harass, or prevent you from contacting these agencies should be reported to the FBI or local law enforcement (police or sheriff).

Hillary's In bed with them, and McCain would probably hit the roof if he heard about the RPF. Obama I don't know about.

Wait, wait, wait...Hilary's in bed with CoS? Since when? Perhaps I'm ignorant about her because I dislike her so much, but she's in with that lot?

Well, now I have another reason to dislike her.

Briefly share your experience with and knowledge of Scientology. If possible, offer to be a witness at a committee hearing. And ask for an investigation of the circumstances which led to scientology receiving their tax exemption.


This is NOT an act of religious bigotry or a hate crime. it is the BEHAVIOR of scientology that is so destructive

Good info thanks

Bill Clinton met with John Travolta at the White House when John Travolta was filming Primary Colors. The story goes that Bill made nice with Travolta and Scientology in exchange for Travolta portraying Bill Clinton and Hillary in a good light in the movie.
With the Clintons being total dirty politics players, who knows what else was promised.
The tax exemption from the IRS did happen under Clinton's watch and he could have intervened but did not.

Get the facts. The Secret Agreement was fianlized on Jan 19, 1992. Lets see ... in 1992, George H.W. was president and didn't leave office until Jan 20, 1993. So Clinton-Travolta didn't have anything to do with the IRS reversal (other than the fact that Clinton did nothing to correct the IRS error when he was president).

Regardless of this minor error in your post, THESE GUYS DO NOT KNOW THAT CoS IS A FRAUD RELIGION. The government is run by about 550 people (pres, senators, representatives, supreme court justices). They think CoS is real, just like Catholic or Methodist. That needs to be corrected, by us.

Don't forget about Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)

He's recently been poking into various Christian sleazes who may be exploiting the tax code for their benefit....
