Support Free Speech, Let "The Bible" RUN!

A theater production called "The Bible" is threatened to shut down based on its content. We need the support of the people to make sure that artistic expression and free speech aren't suppressed because a group of people who won't even see the play think it's offensive.

Just so you know, the play has been put on countless times around the nation without problems, till a local DJ decided it was his mission to derail the Milwaukee area version. Check out the background story here...

here are my brief thoughts and the message I sent to the petition gatherers

I appreciate the concerns of the religious and, being that I attended 16 years of catholic school, understand the offense taken. HOWEVER, separation of church and state is unfathomably important and a show like this has absolutely no legal reason for being barred from production. The religious have the right to protest, the company has the right to put on the play, and everyone has the right to decide whether or not to attend.
