now I love it when the News-Press gets all misty over the war veterans, yet is constantly denigrating their rights, pay and benefits, and printing their public salaries...and trying to turn benches around so the homeless vets can't sit down on State St....or fence off parks....what hypocrites... of course there are many veterans of war working in the public sector in management and rank and file capacity....now why would anyone begrudge them their salaries and benefits? or the right to bargain collectively?
the News-Press has many guestatorials by Lanny Ebenstein who resides in many shady non-profits with his pal Joe (Descent of Man) Armendariz, a Carp citycouncilman, but for how long, I wonder..anyway these two have been railing against public employees, lecturing on how to balance budgets, yet they can't even balance their own checkbooks as I've explained here many times....
so there are tons of non-profits who say they want to help the veterans, but instead help themselves and their friends to huge salaries and perks when dummies send money to them..it's like the churches on TV..send you cash, sow a seed with Christ...
now.... I've seen what some charities do..Operation Family Fund who had Dr. Laura and FOX NEWS as cheerleaders was steeped in fraud..now they are pushing the Wounded Warrior Project..a rightwing charity that is on my radar....I saw them hold war rallies at the old Harley shop down the road, and I don't trust them one bit....FOX NEWS..the same company that spies and hacks on people...Veterans Charities Ratings

you'll notice that "Wounded Warriors gets a (D)....
Alleged Misuse of Money Donated to Wounded Warrior Project
Wounded Warrior Project is supposed to have misused a $200K donation from an active duty unit and used it for a managers only luxury retreat in the Shenandoah mountains. The 3-star commander is furious over this and no doubt will not allocate any funds to the them in the future.
It doesn't surprise me, based on what I have read here and heard from others. So much for helping the injured troops. The news agencies need to check this charity out.
if we stayed out of countries, stopped waging war against poor people in the middle east who keep kicking our ass, then we wouldn't need al lthese people starting all these charities...every war after WW2 was unnecessary....except maybe the Gulf War...
Ohio Gov John Kasich tries to remove collective bargaining rights from public workers until Ohio voters caught on to him....and Wisconsin Gov Scott Walker snuck up to the security of Reagan's Ranch to give a speech to the Young Miss America Foundation..it seems Scott was afraid to attend Wisconsin events due to the protestors, so he's hiding out at the Reagan Ranch!
the recall effort of Scott Walker is in full swing as he attempted to remove rights of veterans, too...I'll deal with wussie Koch Bro Walker a little later
