The city has obviously decided that political correctness is much more important than meals-on-wheels or the Salvation Army's core religious beliefs. Let the elderly shut-ins go without food. How important is that compared to hurting some homosexual's feelings?

Hope the Salvation Army stands on its principles.

This is the problem with taking governmental money. When they are giving you the money, they eventually start to dictate the terms.

As I understand this, the SA can continue to do everything that they are currently doing, they just won't get $60,000 from the city to do it with. A budget cut of 15% would probably results in decreased services.

Sounds like it is time for private citizens to get out their check books if they believe in what the SA is doing.

I have no objection to spending the government's money for them, but always plan that it won't be there next year. Don't get dependent on it.

I think the Sallys will stand on their principle. They have in much bigger ponds than Portland. To tell you the truth, I am all for them just closing shop and letting their services go. Let them and all other chirstian charities do what thier flocks can support and let the government do the rest.

I agree hopefully they won't waiver....

Hope the Salvation Army stands on its principles.

I hope the federal government eliminates every penny of funding to Salvation Army. (And to every other charitable endeavor.)

As far as the Salvation Army standing on its principles...well, I don't really care.
