This is the same Bill Beeny who owns and operates the Elvis Is Alive Museum in Wright City, MO. What this article does not mention is that Beeny had/has (at least) 15 to 20 children with various women. I should know--I'm one of his daughters! Man, I didn't even know some of the crazy right-wing stuff he was involved in until I read this article. I'm confused, though, because I thought one of his churches was called Soldiers of the Cross Church.
Also, Bill was the front man for a country-western band called Bill Beeny and the Westerners. He used to play his own country-western music on his radio evangelist program, and my brother and I would listen to him on the radio and crack up at his off-key vocals and saccharine lyrics. I think Bill has softened in his old age. He's not involved politically at all and just runs an overstock store with the Elvis museum tucked away in the back.
That's very interesting! Thanks for adding this. Could you add any of this info to the main article? It would help flesh it out. Also, if you're interested in getting more info on Bill, there's a decent-sized file folder of newsclippings on him in the Group Research collection of the Manuscripts and Archives division at Columbia University, NY.

Well, my name is Toby Beeny and I must say that I was quite suprized to find my father on Wikipedia. I'm sure he will be suprized as well when I tell him. He is quite famous, however for his many activities. I am not sure as to the identity of the uppermost individual, but I am his son and see him at least a couple times a week. If there was any specific information anyone wanted, I could tell you. To say that he isn't involved politically is incorrect. He is a very active member of local Republican groups and is in regular contact with Missouri Congressmen. In addition to this, he is once again doing Radio programs with a religious/politicial bent to them, only this time he is operating on stream radio. He did a program last week during which he recieved over 100,000 emails before the 3 hours was up.Spacelord
