This will get the raving moonbats in an uproar.
In the state Legislature, two CCHR-sponsored bills were backed by two Republicans, Rep. Gustavo Barreiro, of Miami Beach, and Sen. Victor Crist, of Tampa. Indeed, as Barreiro told the St. Petersburg Times, Scientologists had even written parts of the legislation. Both Barriero and Crist had been friendly with the church: They were guest speakers at a Scientology celebration where Crist touted the legislation and Barriero gave the church an award for volunteer work following the 2004 hurricanes.CCHR is the Citizens Commission on Human rights [link is from scientology.org -- despite their assertions, it is anti-psychiatry], a scientology subsidiary. Victor Crist is Charlie's brother.
