If you are giving to the United Way, stop your donations and let them know why.

Because it supports planned parenthood is reason enough.

I haven’t given a penny to that extortion mob in my 71 years of life.

I haven’t, since basic training, where they made no bones about it being mandatory. I’m 71 also.

I gave up on United Waste a long time ago. Their Boy Scout stance sealed the deal

I always refer them to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation .... they have billions just laying around and not appropriated for charities currently.

Me, too, decades ago.


Stopped in 1995 when I found out they were a bunch of cross-eyed gun grabbers. Not a dime since.

“United Way” of Otero County needs to change their name to AMERICAN WAY of Otero County and have their raffle. Screw United Way. Don’t raise a penny for those fags.

Some years ago I diverted almost all of my donations to United Way ($400 per year matched by my employer) to a Boy Scout Council in Idaho after United Way dropped the Scouts.

For several years I received nice thank you notes from a group who had no idea why somebody in California would be supporting them.

Years ago I got into a bit of trouble at work. They had a corporate policy supporting the United Way, and they would do corporate matches to the UW. They wanted a 100% participation rate in giving to UW, but when UW began pressuring the Boy Scouts of America about their policy against homosexuality, I decided to stop giving. I told my employers that I could no longer support the UW.

I caught quite a bit of hell over that for the next few weeks.

I’ve pretty much stopped giving to humans. Most of my donated time and money goes to the local animal shelter. We are working on a new building and as a fund raiser are naming rooms after contributers. I am sponsoring one as a memorial to my son.

A picture of him and his dog will be on the wall with this quote:

“If you take in a poor, sick, starving dog. Feed him, heal him and help him prosper he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” Mark Twain.

United Way is a way to send donations to “progressive” causes, that would not otherwise get them.

I stopped giving to United Way decades ago.

A “progressive” scam.
