To whom it may concern:

First, please accept my apologies if this Open Letter causes you any undue or unnecessary intrusion on your day.

In any case:

Doesn't it seem where, on your end, you must be swamped with all manner of identically-phrased-and-nuanced letters and e-mails in response to the latest "name-and-shame" campaigns coming from the likes of so-called "family values" groups such as the American Family Association, Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council and the Traditional Values Coalition taking you to task for things like "supporting the homosexual agenda***to the detriment of Traditional Moral and Family Values," to use a common platitude of their campaigns?

Let alone the likelihood of such "mail-bombing," both virtual and physical, tending to nothing short of harrassment by proxy (with the "action alerts" so ensuing being the proxy) ... as well as creating an added and potentially undue burden of extra work upon the likes of:

• mailroom and computer room staff;
• e-mail servers; and
• those responsible for correspondence intake?

And what's more, don't you think these same groups targeting your organisations in a supposedly sincere belief that they are acting out of what they see as a sincere defence of G-d, Country and Family may actually be engaging themselves in the likes of what could actually be actionable offenses under certain circumstances, including but not limited to:

• racketeering;
• unlawful interference with business activity;
• unlawful interference with interstate and/or foreign commerce;
• harrassment;
• sending obscene, indecent or threatening communications through the mails and/or electronic communications;
• extortion;
• blackmail;
• false light;
• malicious prosecution; and
• conspiracies related to one or more of the preceding, as may or may not involve criminal syndicalism?

Against the likelihood that such "Traditional Values" groups may use their Dark Satanic Mills of Moral Outrage Unleashed against your company, have you seriously considered taking legal proceedings against same in case their campaigns target your organisation for one or more of the aforementioned charges, collecting damages in the process?

(This may be an afterthought, but you might also want to consider seeking action under the RICO [Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organisations] Act, which translates into trebled damages if you can show evidence of racketeering's evil influence behind such orgies of harrassment invoking His Name for nothing less than blasphemous ends.

(Even considering where these same organisations are holding dear among their articles of faith the belief that free-market capitalism with American characteristics is one with America's "antient and pecuilar" soverignty and soverign identity, and the defence of the two are mutually interrelated.)

MEMO TO READERS: Your Correspondent urges you, as per usual with these Open Letters, to "spread the word" among your circle of Secular-Progressive threads especially. And, in this case, with such entities as are targets of Religiopolitical Right harrassment campaigns.

But remember to do so responsibly; "spamming" is not the best way to go about it. Remember: "Knowledge is Power."
