This is exactly why I haven't given to UW in more than 30 years. It is also why I give directly to BSA, Salvation Army and Catholic Charities.

Eff the United Way.

I believe United Way will rue this action. The will see a drop in their donation receipts. Many people will stop giving to United Way.

Our United Way campaign is about to begin, in October, and I am sure the commitments will drop throughout the nation.

Geez, I thought United Way had parted company with the Boy Scouts decades ago. It was followed shortly thereafter by a campaign to not give to UW, and instead give to the Boy Scouts directly.

I recall it was a big success, with the Boy Scouts getting a lot more money than usual, and UW getting all whiny that their donations had plummeted.

This happened in PA years ago. Husbands work insists donations to United Way. So we have designated directly to the local Boys Scouts. They have to send the money there if it is designated to a specific organization by the donor.

“Officials with United Way of Greater Cleveland announced Tuesday they are moving to pull their funding next year from the Boy Scouts of America...{

This isn’t rocket science; it’s war. Publish the pictures, addresses and telephone numbers of these traitors and make it known they will not be given water, gasoline, food or clothing by any business in Cleveland. Any business that breaks the boycott will be run out of business.

Both Romney and Obama support gays participating in the Boy Scout program.

Odds are very high they will lose way more donations than the cost of the scout aid.

I send all my money directly to places like BSA. Stopped giving to United Way because they support abortions.

Sorry to confuse you my point is that both Romney and Obama support gays participating in the Boy Scout program.

OK. Fair enough. I also assume that you disagree with both of them.

I have known since the mid-1970’s that United Way was a giant, leftist scam on the American people.

Some highly polished, slick fascist showed up at the company where I worked and spent the day speaking one at at time to small groups of six or seven employees. I heard that he humiliated anyone who questioned his $100,000 car or his many gold rings or very expensive suit.

My supervisor said he wanted 100% donors from his department, but I did not comply. I was surprised because he was against “collective bargaining,” and I thought he was a conservative. There were threats in the air for those who did not contribute, but nothing ever came of them for me. I still got my raises and good performance evaluations. I realized he was a good guy after all.

United Way? It’s a scam.

...the Boy Scouts of America is the only organization in the more than 100 programs that the local United Way funds that has a discriminatory policy.

Well, that is a crying shame. It seems that our country had more humanity and decorum back when people were discriminating in their behavior and their choice
of whom they called their friends and associates.

Now the leftists (who should be carefully screened if spoken to at all) insist that we must open our arms and our wallets to any old marxist rat bag pervert who
walks in with his hand out and an eye on any children in the vicinity.

This is another great reason to refuse to donate to the United Socialist-Pervert Way.
