Support Hellfest Against A Smear Campaign!
A blog has been created to support Hellfest, following the smear campaign orchestrated by Catholic fundamentalists. Here's the translation of their opening post:
"Please note that following an increase in attacks by the CNI, UMP, UNI and Catholic fundamentalists, the festival of extreme rock music "Hellfest" is in danger.
Indeed, these organizations oppose the communities' financial support (Regional Council, General Council, Municipality) toward Hellfest (which represents only 2% of total budget).
A minority of conservative activists organized a campaign amalgam (desecration = metal = Satanism) to these communities and private partners (Coca Cola and Kronenbourg).
Thousands of messages were sent to both public and private partners.
The result was swift: Coca Cola disengaged from Hellfest, and the "Ouest France" newspaper reduces its editorial line concerning Hellfest.
A blog was set up to try to stop this smear campaign.

You'll find the various support actions under way for which your participation is more than required.
Best regards,
Hellfest Freedom Committee"
Well, it's all in French, but the actions they propose right now are to do some lobbying, as the fundamentalists did. You'll find letter models to send to Cola-Cola, Ouest-France and Kronenbourg (the beers, note that they still support Hellfest) and also to the Clisson Town Council, departemental and regional councils, with the links on the same page http://prohellfest.wordpress.com/actions-pour-le-festival/operation-de-soutie/.
