Miller Brewing Protest Continues: Milwaukee Civic Associations Contacted

Contact: Kiera M. McCaffrey, Director of Communications, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, 212-371-3191, catalyst@catholicleague.org

 

NEW YORK, Oct. 22 /Standard Newswire/ -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue explained the latest strategy for dealing with Miller's sponsorship of anti-Catholicism:

 

"We're not going away. After having sent the most unbelievable photos of decadent anti-Catholicism to all the priests, ministers, rabbis and imams in Milwaukee, we are now hitting the civic associations. Because there are so many, we are choosing a select group each week. Today's mailing targets the following organizations:

 

  • Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce

 

  • Federation For Civic Action

 

  • Greater Milwaukee Convention

 

  • Visitor Information Center

 

  • American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin

 

  • Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin

 

  • VISIT Milwaukee Corporate Office

 

  • Community Development

 

  • Sherman Park Community Association

 

  • Community Enterprises of Milwaukee

 

"There will be ten more next week. And so on. We want all the leaders in Milwaukee--in both religious and secular circles--to know exactly the kind of Catholic-bashing event that Miller Brewing recently sponsored. We are looking for a pledge from Miller indicating that it will no longer sponsor public attacks on Roman Catholicism. Once that is achieved, we will cancel the boycott and the anti-Miller PR campaign."

 

To contact Miller, write to Julian Green, spokesman, at green.julian@mbco.com, call 1-800-MILLER 6 or send a fax to 414-931-3732.

 

The Catholic League is the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization. Founded in 1973 by the late Father Virgil C. Blum, S.J., the Catholic League defends the right of Catholics – lay and clergy alike – to participate in American public life without defamation or discrimination.
