This is what happens when you drift ever leftward.

Sweet.

Let’s hope that number increases.

They have had a 5-year deficits of $75 million? How are they staying afloat? Are the USA taxpayers being forced to subsidize them?

The Anti-Christian Lucifer Union has 93 percent more to go.

Well, that’s only 93% to go, then. It’s a start.

I used to get fund-raising letters from them all the time. Instead of donating, I would take several fund-raising letters from conservative organizations, stick them in the pre-paid envelope, and send them to the ACLU.

Although I figured that the act would, at most, cost the ACLU pennies, it was emotionally satisfying.

That’s a good idea. I think I’ll do the same with the continual AARP solicitations we get.

LOL, that’s what my Dad did. He even stapled an article about the AARP supporting obamacare.

They are having trouble because their govt funding is going to even more radical outfits.

Just make sure you don’t put any personally identifying information in with the letters. :)

I wonder if health insurance costs had anything to do with this.

There’s an old joke. What do you call three dead lawyers?

I suspect their leftward drift has really hurt their fundraising.

Socialists live on Other People’s money. That’s why they insist on Big Government coercion if OP don’t want to keep contributing to Socialists. They are the tape worms, living off the body politic until it dies.

I used to like to fill out the bingo cards I got from the Boston Globe with the address of neighbors with Obama or Dukakis lawn signs. A pox on both their houses.

Obviously, there are no more civil liberties to be sought out and “protected”.

Their job is done, they may all go home.

Or perhaps they have just lived on beyond their time.

Drift? The ACLU has been stuck to the far left side of the spectrum since its inception.

When you have completely corrupted the morals of the country, destroyed its Constitution, and turned all of its traditions upside down, what’s left? They worked themselves out of a job.

The ACLU is targeting foundational institutions of western civilization....

They are running out of targets...

Mainline churches...corrupted
Higher Academia...completely sold out to progressives...
Traditional government conservative entities ...neutered by fear

Its too expensive for the ACLU to target individuals to move them leftward...

That's the job of the federal government though the IRS, piles of laws nobody can keep, mandates, E.O. and such...
