"Where Is The Money?"

R emember this when it comes time for the United Way Campaign in your work place.

I received this from a friend today .. so Where did the $ go?

A t the latest count, over 1 billion dollars has been raised by donations of the public in the name of helping firefighters, police and other victims of the 9-11 emergencies in NYC and Washington, DC. There are about 6000 victims. $1,000,000,000 / 6000 = $167,000 per family of each victim.

L ess than $3000 per family has been given out or allocated by these do good organizations. As was reported on the O'Reilly report, organizations like United way have not given any money at all even though they have collected $150 million in the name of the victims. They said that they will keep (withhold) 15% of the total monies for their efforts of collecting the money and only pass 85% down to other organizations who will also withhold some percentage of the money for their administrative costs like salaries, offices, utilities and other operational costs of those charities. So this crisis is Christmas for these organizations.

I am outraged at this so I am calling my senator and representative to demand a governmental inquiry and accounting. In my opinion this is a much bigger deal than the few gas stations who have spiked prices immediately following the attacks.

P lease do your part and start to ask where is the money? Who got it, where, when and why? At the same time that some organizations have become unduly rich over this, most other philanthropic organizations have become poor and report that they have not received donations since Sept. 11th.

R ush Limbaugh, Oprah and O'Reilly have said they will stick with this story until all the money is accounted for, but it is clear that it is not going where we had intended it to go.

P LEASE PASS THIS ON, AS I HAVE, TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.
MAYBE WE WILL GET AN ANSWER FROM SOMEWHERE!
