Refusing donations from a Christian church is unacceptable.
Let me get this right: let’s say a girly bar has a lap dancing fundraiser for WW... they’d take the money, right? But a Christian school has a fundraiser and they say no. The world is upside down...
The problem isn't that the church is "religious in nature". The problem is that WWP's leadership is anti-Christian in nature, and they've just exposed themselves.
They have had some high-profile supporters until now. I wonder what happens to that high-profile support now that they stand exposed.
I, too have given to WWP. This policy seems so misguided that I feel certain it will be changed.

WWP has become just another two-bit racket that only wants lib money. They can go pound sand as far as I’m concerned.
I quit giving to WW months ago.....they send SOOOOO much mail, that I told them I would NO Longer give if they didn’t quit sending....they did not quit. Altho, seems I haven’t gotten anything for a couple weeks now....maybe they finally got the message.
I hope you’re right. I have seen them do good work in the past. I hate to see it all squandered over simple minded pc bs.
Unbelievable! I thought they were the good guys, but if they can reject Christian charity because its Christian they’re not who I thought they were. I’m very, very disappointed.
Didn’t the Wounded Warrior Project refuse to allow anyone to go on Tom Gresham’s radio show last year because of his support for gun rights?
This is the Mother of all Whiskey Tango Foxtrots! The whole world has gone INSANE!
I don’t know.
They should give the money to the Fisher House Foundation. A better organization that does not waste the money on bloated overhead.
If I’m not mistaken, WWP is endorsed by Beck, Hannity etc? When I give money to a Beck endorsed project I expect that some research has been done. This should come as a shock to Beck...I would assume.
I just looked over their website, and it does have a new-age vibe to it. No talk about using faith to overcome obstacles in your life.
It’s just crazy, and very disappointing.
Our staff donates to the USO and Paralyzed Veterans of America. The only thing they send (PVA) our company are free mailing stickers with our company address on it, around 250 which helps of course but not that we need it. Just once a month.
I agree, Fisher House is a fine outfit.
I would like to know why the President of WWP makes a salary of $314,000.00 per year. Thought this was a charity. I am sure there are many retired military flag grade officers or retired business people, Mitt Romney comes to mind, who would do this job for a great deal less and also have enough sense not to turn down donations from Christian organizations. Someone needs to investigate the WWP and see how their contributions are spent.
Saaaaaaaaaaaay a praaaaaaaaayer for Peace!
IIRC, they refused their logo to be associated w/ “Gun Talk”, because the show was a firearm sponsor. Or something like that. Can either m & Clint set this straight?
