What follows is a Fair Use extract of an email that the Scientology
corporation sent out to an unknown number of people on their mailing
lists. The identity of the individuals that it was sent to have been
removed to protect the law enforcement officers and/or the human rights
activists who received it.

Picture a bright beautiful yellow VM Cavalcade set up in the middle of
the loop in Federal Plaza with hundreds of people walking by every hour
looking up at the words - Something Can Be Done About it. Picture the
tents with three assist tables, four stress testing stations, and
panels describing the truths that we take for granted on the walls.
The email depicts the usual hoped-for delusion that the general public
will be gullible enough and ignorant enough to fall for the Scientology
"Volunteer Minister" scam in ever-growing numbers.
Thanks to the Internet, however -- including web sites like this one --
the Scientology corporation's dreams of rooking and swindleing crowds
of gullible marks will never be realized.

Here's what's telling about this mailing list mailout:
Finding people to commit the scam is just as difficult for the Scientology
corporation as it is to find marks that can be suckered in.

Subject: What's wrong with this picture.
Dear Chicago Scientologist,
Today only a handful of VMs showed up to work in the tent. There were
only a few people to answer questions, take people on tours, do stress
tests, or assists. We need double and triple the number of VMs that we
had today. It is a tremendous overt of omission to not participate in
this cavalcade.
