Mikey Weinstein, Albuquerque attorney and businessman, is the leader and spokesperson for the much-publicized movement to restore constitutionally-mandated separation of church and state at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

In his talk, he will describe his personal and family background which includes three generations of military academy graduates, how he became involved in and brought events at the Academy to significant national and international awareness, how this serious situation impacts the United States Air Force, the entire Department of Defense and our nation as a whole, particularly in a time of war against an enemy that already sees us as invading Christian crusaders. He will share his unique perspective about the potential catastrophic dangers that may be wrought from the concerted efforts of the fundamentalist religious right to destroy the wall separating church and state and what this means for our lives, the future of America and our place in the world.
