Why is the "Christian Civil Liberties Union" (No, Seriously) Shilling for Mining Interests by Engaging in Quasi-Election Fraid?

Jim and Ginny Maziarka are a lunatic couple of Christian fanatics from West Bend who advocate book-burning. They are the kind of psychotic dipshits who think the Harry Potter books promote witchcraft. I can only imagine how terribly wretched and shallow their lives must be to invent new things to be outraged about to compensate for whatever ongoing series of failures have crippled their intellects.

Here's Ginny's blog. It's hilarious.

Ginny's claim to fame is a little scuffle she started a few years back regarding books she believed to be "inappropriate" at the West Bend Public Library. The whole incident turned the city of West Bend into something of a national laughing stock, instead of just the regional laughing stock it normally is. There's actually no end to the accounts of her antics available on the web and they would all be just as hilarious if somewhat important people didn't take her and her ongoing effort to return the world to the dark ages seriously. Here's an interview she conducted with Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, prominently displayed on the then-candidate's web site.

Anyway, it was during the Library fiasco that Maziarka was joined  by an organization called the Christian Civil Liberties Union who helped her pursue her latter day Bonfire of the Vanities. The CCLU has its "headquarters" in Milwaukee ... at 2634 W. Vliet Street. Normally that's neither here nor there, but I couldn't help but notice that it's the same address being used for an ad hoc organization called Mines for Wisconsin in this photo of a flyer  found in West Bend currently making the rounds.

The "Bob" listed as a point of contact is most likely Robert Braun, the, um, head of the CCLU.

I seriously doubt this is a very productive way of hatching a less than sophisticated plot to sway an election, but the multiple angles this flyer appears to encapsulate -- evangelical nutcases shilling for big business by attempting to engage in election fraud -- really just sums up the contemporary state of the Republican "grassroots" quite nicely. If activists like Ginny here didn't have AFP or the Eagle Forum, of which she and her organization claims to be affiliated, this would be the best they could do.
