To: aclu, human rights, unted states congress and senate
this petition is for the fight of juggalo equality. we are called juggalos we live all across the world but in the united states we are currently facing our biggest hardship of them all. we are being treated like a cult or a gang. we are very religious group. yes we may listen to music that talks of murder axes drugs and sex but that's all that is music. there was a underlying message from the founding group of this all the Insane Clown Posse. which was a message about finding god and doing what is right helping other but yet being able to still have fun as long as it didn't mean doing something bad in god's eyes. there is many religions across the country and the world allot of them have rotten apples among them but they don't get treated like we do by the untied states local state and federal governments. our religion is not acknowledged by any of them but seen as a joke. I my self have experienced this first hand. I was arrested while my face was painted which is something we do to have fun but also as a way to individualize our selves and as a religious part. I was told by the police to remove it or I would face another charge which would be obstruction of justice. I told the police that I wear it for religious reason and taking it off before the date it was intended to come off was a violation of my religious rights. they laughed at me.they didn't believe that we have a religion, and told me at first I was making it up. I did take the face paint off though so I could get out because my fiancé who is also a juggalo had the required amount to bail me out. but that's not the end of it they tried to get her to leave the police department because they told her I didn't want to be bailed out. now you may not know me but my fiancé has two boys who I take care of daily while she is at work why would I not want to be bailed out? I'm sorry I'm getting away from the point here. the point is we are the same as any religion out there that believes in god we are not about killing people we are not about hate we are not about being a gang. look at the Muslims they get the same type of treatment as us from the us government they are all looked at as terrorist but are they no. it is only because some Muslims have gone off and blown stuff up crashed a few planes and now all Muslims are bad. that's not right just like some people who call them self's juggalos do stuff that doesn't mean if they do something bad it represents us as a whole that only represents that individual. I ask for any one who believes in this cause please sing this petition whether you are a juggalo or not. because one day it may be your religious choice that is treated the same way as ours. thank you for helping in our fight in religious equality.
sincerely,
