No Oppressive Rules at Santa Cruz Sanctuary Village
Santa Cruz Sanctuary Village should remove all rules re AA/NA attendence. These orgs are the most oppressive mind-control orgs with roots in Nazi Germany.
Dear Folks at Santa Cruz Sanctuary Village,
I noticed you have AA/NA written into the program at many levels. Are you aware that AA/NA has a 95% failure rate? It is also becoming known as one of the most oppressive of organizations. AA/NA creates the appearance that it is successful and popular by using Courts and Employers to coerce people to attend. So when you go to an AA meeting and it appears that it is popular and "working" the truth is that those people have been coerced to go there, they are not there of their own free will. AA/NA is a "religion," even thought they say they are not. There have been State Supreme Courts (NY and Hawaiil) that have agreed that sending someone to AA is a violation of the Separation of Church and State. Many, so many people have suffered from this coercion. To verify, see groups such as "Stop 12 Step Coercion" (a Yahoo Group). Also see the Orange Papers (http://www.orange-papers.org/). This is the most excellent presentation of lies and abuses by AA/NA, with evidence of roots of AA in the Nazis.
I am sharing this with you because I care about the homeless and have seen first-hand the oppression they experience. Please consider removing all references and rules about AA/NA from your plan and proposals.

The Religious Roots of Alcoholics Anonymous
and the Twelve Steps

Partying with the Nazi Party

There is a substantial body of case law recognizing that A.A. (and N.A.) is a religious body for purposes of 1st Amendment Analysis. See Cox v. United States, 296 F.3d 89, 108 n.11 (2nd Cir. 2002) (finding that A.A. is a religious organization under the Establishment clause and stating: “To the best of our knowledge, no court presented with an Establishment Clause claim implicating A.A. or a comparable therapy program incorporating religious concepts has reached a contrary [conclusion]”).
