Let's say Tracy wins, and Tantra and sacred touching, etc., is allowed in Arizona.  Now that doesn't mean that it's allowed in California or Washington, BUT, if the case makes it to Federal court, which it very well may, then guess what?  Tracy's victory allows ALL OF YOU out West to practice the way you want because the 9th Circuit will have said you could.  The laws will extend far beyond the boundaries of Arizona, and by the way, the 9th Circuit is the MOST LIBERAL circuit in the country!  How can the case get there? By coordinating with the legal team for the Native American church of which the Temple is a member.  And in case you didn't know, that's already going on!

Then look at the alternative.  Let's say Tracy loses.  What if she  had a public defender that simply didn't have the time or the vision to do this case the right way?  What is she doesn't get out of jail because of it?  Then you know what will happen?  The system will break her, because that's what it's designed to do!  It will break her, she will end up pleading guilty and going to prison.

And you know what that means to everyone else?  It means that you will be next. Because now the State will have won.  If they can break into one church, automatic weapons drawn, throwing women to the ground, smashing altars and the like, and end up sending its pastor to prison, what makes you think they won't do it again??  They absolutely will, and when you're the one with a laser pointer on your chest, it will be too late to say, "Why didn't I help back then?"

This is it.  The time for talk is over.  We've all hear the saying about "first they came for the communists but I didn't care, because I wasn't a communist.  Then they came for the Jews, but I didn't care because I wasn't Jewish."  And we all know how it ends "Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me."  Call it cliche if you want, but guess what.  They just came for you.  And this case may very well determine whether or not they keep coming for you.

It's time to put up or shut up.  Tracy needs help - she needs money.  So either we help now, or we have no right to complain later when the police are smashing through the windows of our church.
