Group Seeks Records of Contacts Between DOD and Mikey Weinstein

Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group, announced last month that it has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking all records of communications between the Department of Defense and Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.  Weinstein has been active in opposing Christian proselytization in the military. (See prior posting.) Explaining the lawsuit, Judicial Watch President Tom Finton said:
The American people deserve to know the full truth about just how close the relationship is between anti-Christian activist Mikey Weinstein and the Obama Department of Defense. There is increasing intolerance for the First Amendment rights of traditional Christians in today's military.
