You are invited to participate with FACTNet in a cooperative

project! We call this campaign REVOLT. Revolt will be a collective

Internet effort to oppose Scientology's oppressiveness. Revolt

recognizes the fact that the best -- maybe the only -- way to

fight Scientology is together. This does not mean that we need to

agree on everything; it means that despite our differences, we

can join in solidarity in our opposition to Scientology. Please

consider placing the Revolt icon on your page as a sign of this

solidarity. The icon and a full description of Revolt are located

at .

Other FACTNet activities

We would like to thank those of you who have showered FACTNet with

support following our rejection of Scientology's $12 million

settlement deal. Your words are inspiration, your contributions

are sustenance, and your visits to FACTNet's web site have

pushed our total hits since January 1st to over 100,000.

Taking into the consideration the rising use of FACTNet's web

site, the threat FACTNet is perceived to be by cultic

organizations, and the heartfelt support of those we exist to

serve, FACTNet is in the process of expanding the realms of

our success. Our latest programs include not only Revolt, but

also:

*FreedomSearch, a free, on-line, searchable database of 50,000

pages of information on Scientology and other cults.

*CRIS, the Cult Referral Information Service, a searchable

database of worldwide cult-help organizations and

professionals. CRIS is in the design stage; we are currently

awaiting responses from over 800 potential referrals to be

included in the CRIS referral service.

*A whole new area on Scientology and greatly expanded

information on mind control and cults. The special Scientology

section is still under construction, but located at

.

*A new web page design. The FACTNet Internet site is totally

new, more aesthetic, and easier to navigate. Please come visit

We realize that FACTNet has been out of touch for a while

because of the Scientology raid and litigation, and we

congratulate and thank those of you who have constructed web

sites to inform the world about this dangerous organization and

help those in need. FACTNet has linked to many of your pages

from our Scientology area. Whether you host a home page or

not, we would like to invite you to help us design and expand

our Scientology area by suggesting information and links which

are not currently included. We would like to recognize the fact

that FACTNet belongs to those who use it and enter into a new

era of cooperation. Please email suggestions to < XXX-Obsolete.email.Deleted-XXX >.

Thanks for your support, your suggestions, and THANK YOU for

making Revolt part of your web site.

Directors' Note

It is apparent that the momentum for educating the world on

Scientology is growing. Please help us by getting the free

speech Revolt graphic onto as many web sites as possible.
