Hey guys,
  This is a letter I just got from one of my friends and I think it's worth your
time to look at the following sites.  Please pass it on...

Thanks,
Mackenzie


Hey guys haven't talked to a lot of you in a while.  I was doing some research
and stuff and I read this article about Matthew Shepard, yes thursday did write
a song about it.  I am asking you all to at least look at the following sites i
am sending you.   for those of you know about matthew shepard you know about
how much of a pitty and stupid act of violence was commited for those that
dont. he was a gay college student that was brutally beaten to death for the
simple fact that he was gay. with that stated there is a reverend fred phelps
that wants to erect a monument bearing m.shepards face and have the monument
read:

"MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning:
'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.'
Leviticus 18:22."
Heres the link to the monument

This is fucking bullshit obviously and its going to happen.  I just would like
to ask you all to sign the petition if you would I don't know how much of a
difference it will make but hopefully it will.  Religion is not supposed to be
like this.   So if you could that would be really awesome.  Here is more on the
article and the petition.

Hope to hear back from you guys,
