No cost way to raise money for VFW and Programs. GoodSearch.com

[Az_lefty]

I received this email from the VFW concerning GoodSearch.com. When anyone uses this search engine Yahoo! makes a donation to the VFW. Weather one supports Bush's Wars or not, there's no denying the troops are getting screwed over by this administration by endless tours, reduced medical care and so on. The VFW is one way of putting pressure on Washington to get their act together (I know Bush doesn't listen but others might).

The instructions for setting up the donor portion of the website are below. Also, there are three choices for "VFW". The main organizaion, Ladies auxillary and the Children's Home.

If anyone's interested in doing this, I know they can use the support.
Thanks.....

===== Instructions ======

1. The VFW is going to have to start supporting the veterans

before I ever give a dime to them again.

2. As long as

the VFW continue to give bush and cheney standing ovations they can get their financial support from someone besides me. DAV, AMVETS and others will continue to get my limited fiduciary two cents worth. I put American Legion in the same boat as VFW. I sincerely believe they don't give one flying dog fuck about our kids in Iraq.

However, I sincerely appreciate your efforts to support our kids who are in harms way because of a fucking lunatic.

3. You and me both,, We have a VFW here in Russellville

all it is, a bunch of WW2 barflys, wannabe's and Bush lovers, telling war stories

4. There's three VFW's

within a 40 mile radius and they are just dying to get younger blood in their ranks; to the point of bad mouthing each other. I'm 53 but to them I'm just a pup. I'm detecting a very slight attempt to distance themselves from bush but it ain't working with me. If I can give them a buck, I can also give that buck to the DAV (or the SPCA cause I know there will be no doubt about the loyalty and appreciation there.)

5. Same story here...

the local VFW has been practically stalking my husband to get him to join (Gulf War Vet). This one guy keeps telling my husband "Well, if you young fellas don't join up the organization is just going to die!" to which my husband responds "Maybe it needs to!"

6. Here is an organization that actually supports veterans

7. From reading these replies it's clear that the experience of others...

with the VFW has been different than mine. HOWEVER, "GoodSearch.com" will accept any domestic charity or school you want to nominate for support. The charitie/school can be added from the home page. I'm not sure what the verification process is but it's worth a try.

8. Why the fuck would I want to support the VFW?

Or am I confusing the VFW with some other crazy, wingnut organization?

9. Stopped sending them money a long time ago.

The Legion had a Boosh-lover president who had fabricated his war record and let him stay. The VFW has Boosh lovers at the top too. Until their leadership and agenda change, they get nada from me.
