If you live in one of the following 11 states you should be paying close attention to how the program is run in your state and begin questioning whether the federal government has the constitutional authority to pass off a federal program to a non-profit group which effectively eliminates, or nearly eliminates, any state control of how state tax dollars are spent.

Do you live in one of these Wilson-Fish states?

Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee or Vermont.

***Update*** There are 12 W-F states at this time (Oct. 2015): Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Vermont

Every Freeper should review this information. Ann has done a superlative job in gaining understanding of this process, and putting together the details.

Thank you for posting. If I could bump this right up to the top I would.

I recall that during Hurricane Katrina, some of the (American Citizen) refugees from New Orleans were housed in churches in the Baton Rouge area. My parents’ church took in about 200. I also recall that the idiots in congress were adamant that not one penny of government money would go to any church based Katrina aid group, and passed a law saying that. And it didn’t. Only non church entities like hotels and government contractors were reimbursed for taking in Katrina victims. Still, God blessed the churches that took in the Katrina survivors.
