Sun Myung Moon front group gets $80,000 in federal money to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. day

Moonies claim credit for MLK's revered status

If there was an organization that received taxpayer money and appeared to be doing reasonably good things in the community, would you care whether that organization was a front group for a powerful political/religious enterprise? Would it matter to you that the head of that enterprise had a much broader -- some call it an anti-democratic -- agenda, than merely helping out in the community? Would you warn your neighbors about the group?

Those were some of the questions facing Connecticut State Senator Bill Finch when he recognized that the Bridgeport, Connecticut-based Service for Peace was affiliated with the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church.
