I stopped giving to United Way four years ago, after it was revealed how United Way provides support to many pro-gay groups - including those using the money for school "education" materials on homosexuality.

When I contacted the Dallas organization, I got an upper manager who told me the "local" group tries not to get involved with those kind of issues. I told him fine - come back to me when he gets his own Natl Organization in shape.

>They do not advertise, They do not brag about their work. They just are there when needed.

I never thought about what they did, just always see them around Christmas. I think any future donations will go towards the Salvation Army. I saw the UW NYC President tonight on the Factor, and he seemed very liberal, feel-goody, vague kinda of way, I mean in that way that Clinton would say a lot of things, but not actually say much, if that makes any sense.

On a side note, I'm sure the Red Cross racked in a ton of money and did anyone else notice how many commericals they have been airing after the attacks.

Maybe I've been watching and listening to the wrong channels, but I haven't noticed any ads from the Red Cross itself. Instead, I've noticed many ads from stores and businesses promoting the Red Cross relief effort and encouraging people to come to their stores to make donations (and, most likely make some other purchases while they're there).

I never gave a dime to the UW mostly because once, a very long time ago, I was a Boy Scout. I got to see up close the PC BS the UW foisted upon a once proud orgainization. I have been very happy to see the UW turn on the Scouts. In the end , the Scouts will be a better, stronger though less well funded group .

Disruptor, disruptor!

concerned about politics is hardly a disruptor. I totally agree with him/her. The Salvation Army is much more worthy than the Red Cross.

I won't give a dime to the United Way. I recommend that if any person wants to give then do so directly to the organization they want to receive it. The United Way is a terrible orgaization.
