I have about had enough. I started reading websites again and ended up on the Veterans for Peace local website. I learned that the local high school has been receptive for working with Veterans for Peace. Arrrrrghhh. pdf report. What really ticks me off is that the Veterans for Peace enjoys a 501 (c)3 tax status. Now a 501(c)3 states that your organization is nonpolitical. Veterans for Peace is nothing but political. They have a few small gestures for charities but I think it's safe to say that most of their funds are spent protesting and trying to bring political change to our country.

I think it may be past time to start putting pressure on local officials to look into the tax status of some of these groups. We also need to start putting pressure on local and National officials to turn around the NEC status on WWP's exception to the rule for reporting contributions.
