As Ledge Hill's representative, it's your job to be present in the community. And part of that presence is a breakfast, usually in a church basement, held once a month. Because you don't just represent one person, you represent everyone living in Ledge Hill, and because every vote counts, thus far you've done your best to include all denominations: Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian. ...

Dissent and scientology are mutually exclusive apparently [comments section is especially informative] — Blorbis
Type: Blog

Blorbis After publishing this article, supporters of the Church of Scientology sent correspondence to Orbis complaining about what they perceived to be a bias in favor of Anonymous.

In the meantime, the Nashville scientologists have apparently decided ...
