Thread: Hispanic Group Denied United Way Cash Because Of Political

The United Way gave HICA (The Hispanic Coalition of Alabama) $48,000 last year almost half of their total gross. After mentioning that in my speech in Cullman they have removed it from their website. I will never give them a red cent!

I wonder how much United Way gives to LaRaza?

Newmexican, I can research it on the web, but I am sure that if you do your own search under United Way, there must be a way to determine contributions in both amount and to whom.

I stopped dontating when I heard a few United Way big wigs were caught digging into the tills.

Bearpaw, the American Red Cross had highly paid crooks too...I can't remember the exact percentage that is only allowed for administrative costs before an organization is no longer considered non-profit....but certainly if adminstrative costs exceed more than 10-15% then there should be concern especially if the top dogs get paid half million dollar salaries.

I haven't given to the Red Cross since coming back from Vietnam.

We should form our own charity that will help victims left out in the cold by illegal immigrants and federal politics.

Those who are lower middle class and poor but can't qualify for any assistance because they don't pop out a buch of babies. Those whose housing and neighborhoods are being destroyed by illegals squating. Those who need job training so they can find employment in a new climate of "needing to speak spanish".

We ought to pull our money out of public schools and refuse to pay taxes for them and start our own. Washington Mutual was automatically giving me a small cash back rebate ever time I used my debit card. They just assumed I would give it to the school fund - I raised hell, and said I wanted it credited as cash back. The school system gets enough support and wastes every dime of it supporting illegals and crooked School Board Members.

I never liked their stand on alot of issues.

After I heard a few years ago about big wigs in their organization taking trips to Hawaii with United Way funds, I don't give them any money anyway anymore.

Amen! Well said!

I feel the same way. No political or monetary support to anyone who does that.

I'm taking a, "Citizenist," approach when it comes to what groups or individuals to support:

"What is in the best overall interests of the current citizens of the United States?"
