Tell you what. Rather than hurling insults, why don’t you just provide a link or three?

Want a link? Here ya go. Usually $2.95, but you can read it for free as a trial.

Here you will learn that The Declaration Foundation, just one of Keyes' charities, admitted to state authorities in Pennslyvania that it:

• made false statements in seeking to solicit donations
• failed to properly administer money it had collected
• withheld documents sought as part of an investigative subpoena
• failed over a four-year period to submit audited financial statements
• gave false information when it said it did not share revenue with other nonprofit or tax-exempt groups
• misstated the truth when it said none of its officers or employees was tied to any vendor providing services or goods

Enlighten yourself. Quick, before you send him any more money. A charity that "misstates the truth" about whether its people are tied to its vendors deserves a wide berth. That is the trap door through which donation dollars end up in the pockets of the principals. Here's how it works: you donate to the XYZ cause. The people running it spend 60 or 70 per cent of donations on fund-raising. Those same people own the direct mail outfit, the list broker, etc. that are used to do the fund raising. Your dollars end up in their pockets. By the time "expenses" are covered, very little ever goes to the cause you think you donated to.

The fact that the Keyes organization stipulated to doing these things ought to give anyone pause.
