MRFF CLIENTS DISMISS POW/MIA TABLE

LAWSUIT AGAINST MANCHESTER, NH VAMC;

WILL REQUEST SEPARATE, BIBLE-FREE

TABLE BE PLACED IN SAME LOBBY

At a hearing this morning in the MRFF-sponsored federal lawsuit over the large, plexiglass-encased Christian Bible on the POW/MIA table in the lobby of the Manchester, NH VA Medical Center, the attorney for MRFF's clients moved to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice as part of the plan to achieve MRFF's ultimate goal —

to get a second, MRFF-designed, Bible-free POW/MIA table

display placed in the same lobby. If MRFF's table is denied an equal place by the Manchester VA Medical Center, a new

lawsuit will be immediately filed on those grounds.

MRFF's clients' attorney, MRFF's clients, and

MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein are all

extremely pleased with the way this morning's hearing went!

Military Times expands upon an article from the Associated Press (AP), including MRFF's clients' attorney's statement, as quoted by the AP:

“One of the focuses was us putting up our own table,” attorney Lawrence Vogelman, who represents the veterans, said at a hearing in requesting the dismissal. He said the VA has a specific procedure for requesting a table and would negotiate the details with the hospital’s lawyers in an effort to avoid any more litigation.

“I think that we’re close enough, or hopefully we are, and in the event it doesn’t work out, then you’ll see us again, but I am very optimistic,” Vogelman said to the judge.

"Generic Book of Faith" that will be on MRFF's table

The book includes prayers or tenets of all major world religions and philosophies, arranged in order of the ages of the religions/philosophies, with an apt Thomas Paine quote to represent non-religious.
