Senator's charity "a weak effort" (R, of course, "charity" for military

families)

This guy created this "charity" when running for the state senate, and then mismanaged and minimally directed the money towards the families. And, he forgot to file taxes, oops. Other repubs in the senate sat on the board of directors and collected "salaries".

It's sickening that the military continues to be used as a prop, without any substansive assistance or support from lawmakers.

He didn't have a problem using the money to pay "salaries" for himself and others, though.

They just found a way to pocket nearly $38,000 last year for not doing anything, AND duping a bunch of gullible folks with a feel-good "charity." That may be criminal, may even be actionable, but it's not stupid unless they actually have to give the money back. And when was the first, last, or anytime in between that you heard of a Republican giving back the money he or she stole?

keep this sham going as long as possible.

Sad. MKJ

TO militay families????!!!

Rightwingnuts; STUPIDEST MFers. EVER.

- Taking Special Care -

We must take special care of the list with each client's name and the
amount of money he has invested. If we were to lose that list, we
would be ruined.

- If My Wife Calls -

If my wife calls white I'm in shagging my secretary, tell her I'm
at a board meeting. That way I'll be able to continue shagging my
secretary without my wife knowing about it.

- the tradition continues... -

If my wife were to find out about me and my secretary; that would be bad.
As bad as losing the list.

Had you invested $100,000 in this fund five years ago, that investment would now be worth absolutely nothing, with a federal income tax liability of nearly $840,000. But you would have something more important than money -- that you would have none of. You would have the pride of knowing that, though you failed, you had dared mighty things, unlike those timid investors who, in the words of the poet, know neither victory nor defeat. Although I suppose investors who placed their money with our competitors, and thus made a fortune, could argue they actually did, in fact, know victory. And perhaps, in a financial sense, they did. But they didn't know defeat. That is something only our clients understand.

The republican motto.

of fame.

Who enables War Criminals

trend bothers me. I don't doubt many of them are being 'administered' in the same fashion as this one.

I'm concerned that this administration welcomes and encourages these private and faith-based charities to relieve the government of any responsibility for the vets. When the patriotic drumbeat stops the donations will likely dry up and where will that leave the vet who has come to rely on a particular charity?

Maybe I'm too suspicious and cynical about the government after seven years in the military and 12 at the V.A. I believe the government owes the returning soldier a debt for his/her wounds and I fear they're doing all they can to weasel out of paying that debt.

They blamed us for losing Viet-Nam (The Chicken Hawks like Cheney)

Now the "TROOPS" are his big heroes.

Until they have PTSD are missing a leg etc.

When the War is over he will ignore them.
