Productive Anger: Get The Wild Hunt on The Daily Show
Star Foster sez:
When the Washington Times thinks it’s appropriate to publish a column stating the Air Force Academy is “pandering” to my “fringe” religion, despite the fact that Pagans have fought and died for this country, I get angry. ...
When David Barton can advocate for a Christian government and actively work against my religious rights only to get away with lying about these activities on television, I get angry. ...
I get angry and I want to lash out. ... I’m not going to do that though.
Instead I’m going to ask you to write The Daily Show and suggest they invite The Wild Hunt author and Washington Post columnist Jason Pitzl-Waters on the show to discuss David Barton and the real challenges religious minorities face in this country.
I think this is a pretty cool idea (although I don't know if it would really reach the people who need to hear - The Daily Show is a little bit preaching to the choir on liberal issues, yanno?). Who knows if anything will come of it, but there's a link to the contact form in the post. I actually took the time to write a real, original (as opposed to copied and pasted) message.
