Putting aside my doubts about the validity of you vague complaints, freedom of religion is something Mormons are obligated to strongly support. If you were mistreated as you say, it is in spite of what the church teaches, not because of it. You might find this verse useful to remind them of how they should act:
D&C 134:4
We believe that religion is instituted of God; and that men are amenable to him, and to him only, for the exercise of it, unless their religious opinions prompt them to infringe upon the rights and liberties of others; but we do not believe that human law has a right to interfere in prescribing rules of worship to bind the consciences of men, nor dictate forms for public or private devotion; that the civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul.
Where there is a large religious majority, it is not uncommon for the concerns of religious minorities to get overlooked or not be well understood. As a Mormon living in Canada I am as much a minority here as you are there, perhaps even more so. You can look for something to be offended about, or you can look for ways to build bridges of understanding.
Twice I took a stand and both time it was not the message but the messinger who got shot down and my faith was a good come back for them.
Free Republic is doing a mighty fine thing for the rest of the freepers as the RM said
"I’m leaving it in news for at this time for the candidate to have a wider exposure, but may move it later."
Should they move it now it no longer matter the damage is done to the LDS!
most people do not study on their own they just get their ire stired and off they go pouncing on someone because of their faith!
As I tried to stand up for right and good and in return my faith got trashed and my words turn on me.
How can a people in a physcial public forum stand up for right if their faith is trashed and some try to tie their hands by turning the scripture on them.
I won't shrink from what is right and good because other are uncomfortable or indfifferent to supporting doing the right thing!
