I swear tubby's "split grille " reminds me of the 1962 Pontiac my dad owned that I learned how to drive on.🙄

A nonprofit group founded by twice-failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is raking in donations in at least nine states without license to do so, meaning it could face criminal investigations and fines.
Charities such as the New Georgia Project are barred across the country from soliciting donations if they have not filed their tax forms with the IRS. Despite the New Georgia Project failing to file its tax forms by the federal Nov. 15 deadline, the organization is still raising funds nationwide through ActBlue, a left-leaning fundraising platform software, records show.
"NGPAF has already been mobilizing voters, and has big plans to make sure they turn out to elect leaders who will carry the true will of everyday Georgians to Washington," the fundraiser states. "NGPAF’s goal is to hold at least 2 million high-quality conversations with voters across Georgia’s 159 counties to make sure they have what they need to show up and vote in the runoff."
The New Georgia Project's charity license has expired in Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Representatives for agencies in those states told the Washington Free Beacon on Tuesday that the nonprofit organization could end up being fined between $25 and $25,000 for illegally soliciting donations there.
"The New Georgia Project is facing multiple enforcement actions for illegal fundraising nationwide not only for their failure to file current Form 990 IRS reports with various state agencies but also possible misuse of nonprofit assets," Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, told the Washington Examiner.
Kamenar added that his group is planning to file complaints with state agencies.
For instance, the New Georgia Project fundraises in Colorado even though the state's online charity navigator has labeled the group as "EXPIRED-MAY NOT SOLICIT" since Nov. 15, according to public records. Soliciting money through a charity without a license is likened to charity fraud in Colorado, and people who engage in such fraud may be criminally prosecuted, according to Colorado law.
The New Georgia Project, which formed in 2014, raised a whopping $25 million in 2020, records show. It was once led by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and fired half its leadership in October 2022 due to an alleged lack of funds.
The New Georgia Project did not respond to a request for comment.
That’s a slur on a classic automobile.
Shame on you.
She’s a black DEMOCRAT...untouchable.
Silly website, laws are for republicans.
Well, I believe that Stacey Abrams is an evil witch. I don’t think that any Americans need a license to collect money for anything. It is not the government’s damn business unless fraud has occurred. Licensing is just another form of government gatekeeping in the trampling of our God given rights.
She in troubles now! 🤔😁👍
meh
Call me when someone actually **goes to jail** for this kind of “lawbreaking”
Not going to happen.
Black Female Democrat untouchable
Abrams has grift in her genetic makeup. She is immersed in grift, and has been since conception.
Yeah, it’s called crack sales.
Haven’t seen your CrAZy AsS in a while. Hope you’re well!
Sorry to be picky but I loved Pontiacs.
I won’t make a direct reference here to my feelings about Abrams.
lol on the split grill
I hear AOC might be udner an ethics violation investigation soon too-
What was she running a bank, a food bank?
Speaking of grilles and AOC, she could join the DOJ and “take a bite out of crime.”
ouch! that would leave a mark
Pontiacs....
What a story.
Nobody tried all that with the new 1964 Renault Dauphine I had. Not even for use in lemon advertisements.
Example, the heater totally had to be replaced. Waiting time about 2 months to get from France (”we don’t stock any foreign car parts”). Today’s equivalent cost of just the main part in $535. Next was a hole that blew out in the ceramic body of one spark plug. Mechanic had never heard of that position of blow out. And special lube for steering every 6 months or it sounded like a rusty rail car on a siding and took a weightlifter to steer until it froze up totally again. In cold Michigan weather I had to put a blanket on the rear engine every night or wait for spring for it to thaw out.
Later went on to Pontiacs made in the USA.
I remember seeing a few of those Dauphines on the road. Even though they got good gas mileage they broke down so often most gas guzzling Yank Tanks were cheaper to drive. Years later at the 1971 NY Auto Show at the old Coliseum Renault had some R8s on display, one with the Goridini performance package. They were an improvement but didn’t sell too well here.
