Apparently Women In Black (WIB) and Code Pink (CP) has lied and scammed the Rape Crisis Intervention Services of Carroll County, MD (RCIS). WIB was NEVER licensed to show the Vagina Monologues. Someone complained to the makers of VM about what happened and discovered this. The original show was to last at most an hour and a half. The WIB and CP scam went on for well over an hour before the VM even started.
Second, WIB has never paid Carrol Community College (CCC) for their security. Now CCC has asked the RCIS to pay.
Third, WIB told RCIS that they would get about $10,000 for their participation. But the auditorium only held 400 people. At $20/ticket, that amounted to only $8,000. When RCIS questioned WIB about the other $2,000, WIB told RCIS they would have other fund raisers. Only only about 200 tickets were actually turned in that night. There is no way to find out how many were actually sold.
WIB said that we Eagles, Freepers and concerned locals scared the others off. But I told RCIS that one of our group had no problem reserving 20 places on the Wednesday before the showing.
Fourth, relative to No. 3, WIB was giving tickets out before people got to the door, telling them to pay at the door. The people just presented the tickets and walked in.
I want to take a minute to defend the Rape Crisis Intervention Services. They are a cash strapped organization, especially with Maryland's Governor O'Malley cutting their budget, but all the while taxing the hell out of Marylanders to help illegal aliens. A gift horse came along and they jumped at the opportunity. From what I've learned, RCIS has learned a painful lesson. And I was told they will probably break even on this whole scam.
HERE is the RCIS of Carroll County's web site if you want to contribute. Help RCIS so that they don't have to be put into this position next year.

The article in the Carroll Co. Times is HERE. The article and the following comments makes for some very good reading. Just be sure to start at the earlier comments, at the bottom of the long, long list of comments.

wtf is “WIB?” Just when you think it’s gotten as weird as it’s gonna get...
What exactly is going on here?
Looks like RCIS lied down with dogs and woke up with fleas. Tough to feel much sympathy.
Read the links and you’ll know more.

I do what I can.
Smack me upside my head. No excuse.
Yea, but RCIS does good work. The Vagina Monologues has always been an outlet of immoral values supported by the likes of Jane Fonda, but VM feeds on those organizations struggling with budget problems.

where's McCarthy when you need him?
I hear ya, and I don’t really disagree.
But they’ve muddied and bloodied themselves by unnecessarily associating themselves with pigs and dogs.
AND, it appears that you guys WARNED them!
I’m sorry, they have only themselves to blame. I hope they take a hard, painful hit, and suffer for a good long while, and then are able to come back. The pain will have, one hopes, taught them a valuable lesson: don’t deal with scum.

RCIS has admitted to learning a hard lesson. They are still putting out fires over this. Carroll County is one of the few conservative bastions remaining in Maryland.
“RCIS has admitted to learning a hard lesson.”
I hope you’re right. I just figure, the greater the pain, the longer lasting the lesson.
Their collusion with these outfits is despicable, and if it weren’t for the women that they help, one would hope they’d all fall into a black hole.

Agree to everything you posted.
Troop - Thank you for posting this. RCIS was blind-sided. They didn’t know until it was too late what these organizations stood for. RCIS intentions were good and as you said they are financially strapped. They do what they can for the victims of Carroll County.
A lesson has been learned. Now it’s my job to make sure that the rest of Carroll County finds out what WIB/Code Pink did to this very necessary organization.
Time to start drafting another letter to the Carroll County Times. I wonder what ‘poop’ will get flung at me this time... although I am getting used to it... I think I’m finally developing that thick skin!
The seem to mostly identify with terrorists groups and anti-democrat organizations.
Peace organizations are always the most lurid and violent.

I wonder if some computer artiste can put O'Malley's face on one of those Gringo de Mexico Pesos?
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
