14 plus 7 is 21%.

So then 79% went into various program activities, the trust fund which was carefully explained today as required because many of the kids are so young that it will be 20 years before they are ready to go to college.

Red Cross rating is lower by a lot.

If you will check this link, you will see that the Freedom Alliance has a 10 point higher rating than the Red Cross and this report shows that 81% of the money goes into activities with only 19% going to overhead.

If you look up United Way, you will see that it is composed of many small units in each locality and each are rated separately. There are quite a few 4 star United Way units, but most of them are 3 star and a few are 2 star.

So to say that the Freedom Alliance is a scam and that Hannity is a scammer, which is exactly what that nutcase said, is really a bald faced lie.

And also note that the Freedom Alliance makes it clear that Hannity is not even a member of the Freedom Alliance. He donates his public image in order to make their events successful. It is the same thing Bob Hope used to do.

Further, they itemize several very large donations Hannity has made out of his own pocket.

They also state that the Freedom Alliance has never paid for a single plane trip or hotel bill.

Now I don’t listen to him as much as I used to because there are now quite a few others preaching the conservative philosophy, but I do admire him for being a real patriot.

Some of the comments on this thread are shameful in that they were made with no knowledge of the facts.

Calling the Freedom Alliance a scam is the sound of a fool’s voice.

We have a real scam in progress in the congress as I write this. It would be wise to work on that rather than going ape over a nut case’s lies.
