To: TRY ONE

This is a LIE!!! My sister works for Freedom Alliance and I can assure all here that it is an incredibly good group. I donate every year. They exist to do good. What a horrible bunch of distorted dribble.

Doesn't look like dribble to me.

Looks like a bunch of facts.

Hopefully, it's not true and Hannity can rebut it with facts.

Can you speak to the cited documents that show a 9% disbursement? They aren’t things Debbie Schlussel made up.

The tax records speak for themselves. Perhaps Sean can clear up the matter.

What point is a lie? The tax forms show that they took in ten million, and only handed out 300 thousand.

Is your sister a volunteer, or does she get paid? If she gets paid, then the story is actually true. Money is going for administration costs, and NOT every dime is going to orphaned children and wounded warriors.

So the tax returns aren’t accurate?

They might “exist to do good”, but what does that have to do with the “good” they do is a pittance of what is taken in?

She links the tax records for the past several years, so the data sort of backs up what she’s is claiming.

http://www.freedomalliance.org/images/pdf_and_largepics/2008_990.pdf

2008 tax return. Total revenue $8.7 million. Total 2008 scholarships grants: $802k

This is direct from their website. They spent more on contracting printing expenses than grants.

Are you saying the tax return data for the organization that Debbie has in her column are false? That is, out of 10 million raised, less than 400,000 went to the children...

You’ve been had. I doubt they are lying to the IRS about how little they are giving.

You have a different set of tax documents to show us? Put up or shut up.

I dont know a thing about the charity etc but I somehow doubt this story is true.Sean Hannity does NOT need money or anything else....in fact he needs to slow down and not be so driven . Events like these CANNOT help him that much...so there has to be other reasons to do it

Okay, your sister works for FA. But, those numbers are very, very damning.

I can order their returns, which will likely be very professional in appearance, as they are 501C and by law must fulfill requests for their tax statements to anyone who inquires.

If your sister has information in opposition please post it.

BTW, I watch Sean and like his show and have contributed to FA in the past but with Debbie’s reporting on this I don’t think I can in the future.

Is she misstating the figures from their 990 filings? If not, it sure sounds problematic to me.

BTW, I’m no fan of Debbie S. at all.

Did you research their tax returns? You might feel different about them if you had.

Maybe to your sister they do but there seems to be a lot of stuff going on in the background that your sister would not have info about.........

I like Hannity and listen every day but if Schlussel's information is true then Hannity has a lot to explain...........

Schlussel is not a leftist wacko so I can't imagine any agenda she may have........

Let the investigations begin and let the truth be known to everyone..........
