Faces of Pagans United
EST
May 19 2004 BOARD MEMBERS
PRESIDENT/FOUNDER LAURA M ROBERTS aka MOONPANTHER WITCH \ I started this project because it's time for us to make some changes in this world if we ever hope to truly experience peace. div align="left">
Our mother earth is slowly dying, people are still persecuted openly for their religious beliefs, and the rights of the people are being over shadowed by the greed of those in power. The word democracy has slowly lost all meaning.
On a daily basis I receive reports of assaults, loss of jobs, housing, and the destruction of property from my fellow pagans. And it's not just the pagan religion; all the minority religions face the same fear on a daily basis. This just can't be allowed to go on any longer.
I find it ironic that we went into Iraq to bring them freedom and democracy when many of us in the United States aren't allowed the simple basic freedoms our country was founded on. It is my hope that through activism and education, many of the problems we are facing today can be resolved. It's time we all stand together and make some changes before it's too late. The time for change is now. Will you join us?

VICE PRESIDENT KEITH M. ROBERTS aka WINTERWOLF
I have been walking the pagan path for a few years now, but recently felt that I needed to be more action orientated. I see our world hurting from depredations and I see humanity in severe need of healing of the spirit. I believe this project is an excellent step in the right direction. Pagans United is based on activism. The word itself seems to have been a dirty word label for a very long time in many of the mainstream's eyes. Part of why I am working here is to show that activism isn't a political dirty word, it simply means to take an "active" roll in the community, the nations political process and the world at large. p> My goals here are simple. Bring people
together as a community and teaching tolerance of race, gender,
religion, and preference. I
UPDATE: Keith is currently serving again in Iraq and will be there until sometime in 08

SKYE THOMAS (The little bird that whispers and sometimes squawks in my ear)
The following quote from Skye says it all:
To a group of political activists fighting for freedom of religion, "To you I say, meet me in the eye of the storm and together we will steer this mess in another direction. Jump into the storm. Do not stand on the sidelines too lazy and scared to do anything about all the ugliness going on around you. Jump into the storm. Swim and fight your way to the center of the vortex. There we will sit together in the quiet and find the solutions. Until we embrace the eye of the storm and really see what is at the root of humanity's hatred of each other, we will never find a long term solution that creates real peace and equality for everyone. We need to heal our planet, our bodies, and the spiritual hearts of our species." Skye Thomas - 2005
Skye is a single parent who has risen above the challenges and built her own businesses, as well as authored several books. To learn more about Skye, I urge all of you to visit her website at http://www.tommorowsedge.net . What else can I say but "See you on Oprah, Skye".
