“Is she misstating the figures from their 990 filings? If not, it sure sounds problematic to me.”
She is purposely misrepresenting what the figures mean. For instance, she pretends that the education grants and the checks to wounded soldiers are the only or main programs...Freedom Alliance has more programs.
Charity Navigator Rating, an independent charity rating organization rates Freedom Alliance four stars out of a possible four stars. About 80% of the money they spend is on program costs. This is very good and efficient. Here is the URL for Charity Navigator:

Please try to have some faith in good Americans who work hard to do good things.
Thanks. I later saw more as I read more posts on this thread. I’ve never been a Debbie S. fan, as I stated, so that wouldn’t really surprise me. I’m not sure what motivates her, but it doesn’t often seem to be coming from a high place.
We do, and thanks for being the voice of reason on this thread. Debbie Schlussel is a nut case digging up accusations made in 2006. She isn't smart enough to even be original.
