Sounds fairly comprehensive. I hope that this blog will carry news and updates pertaining to these issues.

Blessed be!

The Pagan Bill of Rights is a list of rights that we are already afforded by law. The Constitution states so. Unfortunately it is our job to teach everyone else that they are our rights, as much as a Christian, Jew, or Muslim has their right to the same things. As long as issues are brought to our attention, we will do our best, within the confines of our mission statement, to fight for all of our rights. Thank you for the comment!
