CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL Established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights
YOUR 'MOMENT OF TRUTH'
Dear friend of CCHR,
I know you would like to do everything possible to back up management's ongoing efforts to clear this planet. A key vector in this strategy is, of course, removing planetary suppression. In a word, that means getting rid of destructive psychiatric programs, treatments and philosophies.
At CCHR International we have a number of plans and projects coordinated to do just that. One of these is to see that the psychs are "...deprived of their unearned millions in appropriations..." (see "The Fight for Freedom" in the recent Ron Mag, Freedom Fighter). A terrific opportunity has just arisen that will help us do just that. There is an organization called the National Organization of Women Legislators (NOWL), and as the name implies, this group is made up of top woman legislators from local, state and the Federal Government. Senators, governors, congresswomen and others are members of this group.
They meet periodically and hear from speakers that they consider have issues of importance for their group. Their last conference drew 800 attendees. Their President recently called CCHR and asked if I would address their next meeting. Needless to say, I accepted.
This is a magnificent opportunity for CCHR to get its message delivered directly to some of the top policy makers in this country.
As with all such projects, energy is needed to make this fly. I want CCHR to become a member of this group so we can get our message out to this very important public on an ongoing basis about what psychiatry is doing to our schools, our courts and our civilization as a whole.
The meeting that I have been asked to address is in Washington, D.C. on February 4th. We need $l0.000 to become members of this group and to cover travel and lodging expenses associated with the conference. Ideally, I could bring others to help enlighten the numerous opinion leaders that will be at this conference. I will only be able to do this with your help.
Two years ago we started a similar project with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC is a national organization made up of legislators from every state as well as some federal legislators who meet and draft "model Legislation" for every state. The bean return for that has been enormous! CCHR has worked its way up the conditions at ALEC and recently got an article published by ALEC in opposition to mandated mental health parity which went to key state legislators who deal with health issues in their respective states. In addition, the ALEC membership has opened the door to meeting numerous legislators and other opinion leaders from around the country and enlightening them on psychiatric fraud and patient abuse.
These kinds of comm lines are invaluable and having the opportunity to expand them to the members of the National Organization of Women Legislators is one we really do not want to pass up. Our target for the year 2000 is coming fast. We need these comm lines badly, and I'm asking you to help us with your financial support. We urgently need your tax-deductible donation in the amount of $500 or above! For every person who contributes $1000 or more, a personal commendation will be written from myself to your ethics files.
This is your 'moment of truth'. Come the year 2000, I would like to be able to say that vou helped CCHR carry out LRH's intentions as above. We need this now! Joining this organization and attending this upcoming conference will open numerous doors for CCHR to cut psychiatric funding in the coming years.
Please call Carrie Alkins at CCHR Int at (800) 869-2247 or fax your check or credit card number to her at (213) 467-3720. DO THIS TODAY!
Best

Please note the date of this post. l998. Since that time Mr. Wiseman has made
great gains in our government. He is now the Treasurer of the National
Foundation Women Legislators. Further find is the Lawyer for the NFWL is none
other than
Scientologist Tim Bowles.
Please Note tho this is old news ALEC remains an influential group in
Government. If any thing this group has become much stronger in the past
years. One should ask is Wiseman now a part of the Council on National
Policy as well as the NFWL?)
The Weyrich-Scientology Connection
But wait--it gets even stranger! There are reports that the Church of Scientology is involved with Paul Weyrich and the Council on National Policy.
(CCHR) is a Scientology front which, in 1995, proposed that parents sign a pledge to eliminate psychology in the public schools. [So that they might substitute L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics!] The CCHR Pledge was heavily promoted by CNP organizations such as the Family Research Council, Eagle Forum, Concerned Women, etc. and Carolyn Steinke, who serves on the board of Scientology front Citizens Commission for Human Rights (CCHR). Clay Bock, a Scientologist of 20 years and education reform leader sponsored a conference which featured Carol Steinke as keynote speaker. The Orange County Register states that Steinke received a 1995 Award from the Scientology-supported CCHR.
Citizens Commission for Human Rights also funds Paul Weyrich's American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), according to a letter by Carol Steinke, a copy of which we have on file. An offshoot of Paul Weyrich's American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) recently honored the wife of Sun Myung Moon, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon. The award was presented by Robin Brunelli, president of the National Foundation for Women Legislators and the wife of Sam Brunelli, the Director of ALEC and long-time member of the CNP. For more information, the extensive connections between the Council for National Policy and Sun Myung Moon were discussed at length during an AFN radio interview of Chey Simonton by Kelleigh Nelson.
The CCHR web-site features "Articles by L. Ron Hubbard", as well as a section
titled "Why is Scientology Opposed to Psychiatry?". Below are excerpts from a
1998 letter sent to CCHR supporters by CCHR President Bruce Wiseman.
CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL Established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights.
Wiseman's letter mentions a CCHR joint effort with Weyrich's ALEC.
Two years ago we started a similar [anti-psychiatry] project with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Also at the CCHR web-site is the below list of endorsements of the 1995 pledge. CNP-linked groups are in italics.
Organizer of the press conference, Carolyn Steinke, director of Parents Involved in Education, said that the pledge was vital, and should be signed by parents, teachers and children across the nation, because "school children are no longer treated as students but as patients."
Congressman Sonny Bono [note: Bono was a Scientologist, and his Congressional seat was won by his widow, Mary], a leading advocate of true educational reform, opened the press conference and was the first to sign the Pledge. He was joined by such individuals and groups as California State Senator and Chairman of the Education Committee, Raymond Haynes; Gary Young, President of the Hemet, California Unified School District Governing Board; Ron Sunseri, former Oregon legislator; the Eagle Forum; Citizens Commission on Human Rights; Family Research Council; The Rutherford Institute; Concerned Women of America; National Parents Commission; Kentucky Alliance; Taxpayers Involved In Education; and American Policy Foundation.
Is this the extent of the Religious Right's involvement with the Church of Scientology -- or does it go further?

They don't just want to deprive them of the appropriations They WANT the appropriations! THE CULT WANTS THAT MONEY! They want the appropriations, they want the financing, they want ownership of their organizations. It's a war, and total victory is getting the bucks and taking them over!
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY GET THE PSYCHS MONEY
And this is more important than clearing the planet! Mr. Hubbard orders it in sacred scripture.
++++++++++++ SACRED CULT SCRIPTURE +++++++++++++
Our war has been forced to become "To take over absolutely the field of mental healing on this planet in all forms.
That was not the original purpose. The original purpose was to clear Earth. The battles suffered developed the data that we had an enemy who would have to be gotten out of the way and this meant that we were at war... [...]
By showing him to be brutal, venal and plotting we get him discarded.
Our direct assault will come when they start to arrest his principals and troops for crimes (already begun).
Our total victory will come when we run his organisations, perform his functions and obtain his financing and appropriations.

CoS's own policital action committee site: http://www.citizensforsocialreform.org/Pages/StatisticsAndInfo.html
*The Funding Outpoint*
Annual U.S. public investment in humane and incredibly cost-effective social betterment programs that are supported by ACSR:
Tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars
Annual U.S. public investment in social programs that are somewhat effective, completely ineffective, or destructive:
Tens of Billions of dollars
What’s the Reason Why?
An insufficient political presence, resulting in an insufficient level of political influence, especially when compared to the order of magnitude necessary for accomplishing our goals.
No effective vehicle for concerned citizens to impact public policy by wielding our influence as a political constituency has been created to date.
(It goes it list why their 501(c)(3) cthurch can't do it, and how to slide around the rules by wearing a clown-nose and claiming to be someone else.)
