I see 78% of income from "Grants and Distributions". How do you know these were "small" donations? And i'm happy to decry right of center organizations, but currently we're sucking the ACLU's shlong, so i'll examine them. Right now, the right wing group i'm most annoyed with, is the ultimate right wing group. I'm sick of getting frickin emails from the RNC about Bush's birthday or why democrats are going to burn in hell. > > I guess that protection of the constitution isn't of interest to you. > Once again, i'll ignore childish statements and address adult ones. >> >>And I'm not sure I agree with your ascertion that you have to go "over the >>top" to get normal stuff done.

No sure why you brought up selective rights.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:162198 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
