Michigan Against White Supremacy has issued the following announcement indicating that prominent Canadian racist Paul Fromm will be speaking in Lansing tomorrow. The event is reportedly being organized by Kyle Bristow, the chair of Michigan State University's (MSU) Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and Evan Thomas. Thomas is a racist who has in the past attended an event organized by Bristow.

The Michigan Against White Supremacy announcement is printed below:

Saturday, April 12th, Neo-Nazi Paul Fromm will be speaking at the Cadillac Club in Lansing.

Fromm is major leader in the Canadian racist scene. Fromm has attended white supremacist meetings including one held to mark the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's death; shouted "Scalp him!" at a meeting where a representative of the Native Canadian Centre was speaking; attended meetings and delivered speeches alongside well-known racists like American David Duke and Holocaust denier David Irving.

The Cadillac Club is owned by David Sheets, a Lansing businessman involved in local Republican politics. Sheets has been informed of who Paul Fromm is and has refused to cancel the event. Sheets has stated that "This event doesn't effect him" and that "He doesn't care if people know the event is happening at the Cadillac Club or not". David Sheets has chosen to give white supremacists a venue for their bigotry and hate.

The Paul Fromm event will be a gathering of racists from around the state. Local racists Kyle Bristow and Evan Thomas (Cutner) are suspected of being involved in bringing Fromm to Lansing.
