As if you didn't already have reason enough to NOT give to united way. I was constantly in hot water at work every year when the company, needing to "check the box", went on it's united way campaign drive. I always declined the offer to participate. Despite a lot of pressure from the bosses. My money, my choice. I remember that you could specify which "charitable" organization would receive your donation from a list of acceptable ones but none of them ever fit my criteria.

They can start by putting criminals in jail and LEAVING THEM THERE.

The “United Way” has become the secular version of tithing. The “charities” selected are politically very one sided.

All promoted by the State, and radio and TV stations have to carry the ads as a “public service”.

Very nasty. The whole FCC should be eliminated, except for keeping track of spectrum property rights, just like we keep track of real estate.

I quit giving to the United Way back in 1982.

So they are going to spend Saturday night’s on any given Martin Luther King Blvd handing out pamphlets? Didn’t think so.

Despite a lot of pressure from the bosses.

Back around 1969, where I worked it was absolutely mandatory -- under threat of getting sh*tcanned on the spot if you tried to refuse.

I happened to need to visit local school district administration offices recently...my husband pointed out the TWO united way RESERVED parking spaces right next to the building...since I was appointed to the district budget committee...I will be looking at where they are in the budget

Ahhhhh.... the usual 2nd Amendment-hating leftists’ use of the anthropomorphized “gun violence,” which is as meaningless as “rock violence” “knife violence,” “baseball bat violence,” “cliff violence,” etc.

[WorksinKOP]

Yeah, me too. Until I found out once they determined the fund I choose was, well, full. They’d move the funds to where they deemed fit. Not to mention the salaries of the execs.. The Salvation Army transfers over 90% to the intended. St. Jude Hospital helps our kids.. Just Say’in.

I would hope the first thing they do is to open an initiative in Chicago to curb black-on-black violence in general.

The fact that they are not doing anything of the sort tells me all that I need to know.

[Terry L Smith]

Every federal employee has participated in giving to The United Way, as part of their Combined Federal Contribution Campaign.

So, as of right now, every federal employee is complicit in monkeying with YOUR 2A RIGHTS!!!

[IronJack]

NO to United Way!!! Boycott, boycott, boycott!!!

[Mastador1]

Do you really want to make a serious dent in gun violence? I have a liberal solution for liberals.............late term abort all the gangbangers!

[TYVets]

Funded by the "bloomberg foundation/ school of public health".

NO THANKS

[Red in Blue PA]

How long before being violent is deemed a “sickness”? And shooting them becomes a hate crime?

Sadly, I am not joking. This is what the leftists would love to make.
