* * *PETITION DELIVERY TO UNITED WAY         HEADQUARTERS SET FOR MAY 2!

With 350,591 petitions in hand, Grassfire.net will be delivering YOUR petitions to the United Way headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia on Thursday, May 2! This is the moment we've all been working towards--the opportunity to voice our concerns, and disappointment to the United Way for their discrimination toward the Boy Scouts of America.

BUT OUR WORK IS NOT FINISHED!!!

Our "Official Report" graphically demonstrated to us the importance of continuing our efforts. And although the petition delivery will have a great impact on the United Way, we can't stop there.

Your support and commitment has been nothing short of amazing, but until we get the United Way to stop discriminating against the Scouts, we need your to rally at least 10-15 additional people to take a stand for the Scouts. We know this is a difficult request, but we are counting on you to forward this message to as many people as you can. Click below to sign:

We would ask that on Thursday morning, you keep us in your prayers as we deliver a very clear and powerful message to United Way, that the American people will not allow them to trample a proud organization like the Scouts.

On behalf of the Boy Scouts of America, thank you for your tireless support.

Your Friends at Grassfire.net

Time for the American people to stand fast De-Fund the United Way.

Years ago I refused to give in to their strong-arm workplace money stealing tactics.

United Way and the school PTA organizations killed funding to the Boy Scouts in San Diego. When thay happened, I ceased any further involvement with United Way. The Friends of Scouting fund raising drive happens annually. I donate directly to the scouts via that mechanism. United Way saw the error of their ways after some major complaints. Even after they restored the scouts as a funded organization, I've opted to avoid UW and just donate directly.

I really do not understand why a petition is needed at all. United Way is a scam. They collect money for worthy charities, take a cut for themselves, and give the balance to the charities. They are nothing more than a middleman. Why bother signing a petition. Simply give your money directly to the Boy Scouts, and cut out the middleman. If, say, you give $100.00 for the Boy Scouts through United Way, they skim off 20%, and give 80.00 to the Boy Scouts. Why not, than just give the full $100.00 directly to the Boy Scouts. Even if there were no political correctness or politics involved, United Way would still be a scam. I, for example, give a donation to Catholic Charities. I would never think of going through a middleman. I give direct.

I think the Scouts did OK before the United Way came around. This is one of the dangers of depending on big organizations. I keep my kids in Scouts, and send ZERO dollars to the United Way.

The Boy Scouts of America require people to have certain religious, sexual, and political views to join. A lot of people here would throw fits if they supported say a Muslim group, or a Pagan group, so I don't see why Boy Scouts should get special treatment just because they represent a majority.

Mighty PING for the Boy Scouts. We did our part in Sacramento. We freeped those United Way creeps TWICE!! But they still spit on the Boy Scouts. Can't say we didn't try. Perhaps these petitions and field survey will cause Sacramento United Way to reconsider. One can only hope. For victory & freedom!!!

The Boy Scouts of America require people to have certain religious, sexual, and political views to join

I don't know about 'certain' views. As far as I know, as a Scouting Mom for the last 10 years, the Scout has to believe in God, it doesn't specify Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Hindu. The Scout must be of good moral character; they don't ask about sexual preferences, but if any immoral character is shown, they're shown the door. And as far as political views, I have no idea what you're talking about. Scouts are not ALLOWED to take part in any campaigning for ANY candidate while in uniform. Out of uniform, they can support anyone. Scouts have taken part in political activities, in a non-partisan way. For example, a group of Scouts presented the colors at the Democrat Natl. Convention in 2000 and were BOOED by the idiots in the audience! The only folks showing partisanship there were the STOOPID delegates!

HOLY COW WAKE UP!!! How many times must this be said ???

You have missed the whole point. The point IS NOT about giving.

What we are trying to do is spread gutwrenching, nightmare producing fear among the American homo loving socialist liberal democRATs here at home.

It’s about putting strong pressure on the enemies of our constitution.

Now if you agree, stand with us, if you’re a fence sitter, get the hell away from us.
