When it comes to important causes, things truly deserving, it is likely to attract as many frauds as those truly interested in doing great things. When a scam artist sees a cause attracting genuine attention, when a politcian sees a cause of true concern, when an egotistical elitist sees passionate endeavor, they will jump on the bus, collecting as much of the spotlight, spending, and show as they can garner.
Good causes can be sunk by the illegitimate showboating of egotistical, selfish idiots. Some will market ideas, falsely, to tap into sales of selfless, patriotic Americans.
The RNC and DNC both have Veterans that truly believe in their platforms. There is nothing wrong with
Non-Profits are not always what they claim. We have identified five that we believe in. There are many more just as pure in motivation, but for every non-profit that fulfills its mission statement there is one that is nothing more than a self-serving tax writeoff.
And then, there are run of the mill scam artists. These are bottom feeders trying to convince you to give your hard earned money directly to their filthy little wallets.
Whether you are considering a donation to an organization that fights against Homeless Veterans, PTSD stricken Veterans, for pro-Veteran legislation, or for a company offering a free something to a Veteran, or a Veteran in dire need, INVESTIGATE. If you have questions, ask a Veteran. If he is leery, you should be too.
There are people today, that still don't talk to me because I questioned the benevolence of a particular organization that claims to speak for me. It is a partisan organization that endorses red tape for a political party. I'm still researching my proof. It has fooled many. It's self-appointed leader refuses to talk with me or this publication but endorses Soros and Maddow.
There's an individual calling for your donations to his personal finance, despite receiving $2800+/month of your tax dollars.
I'll tell you straight up: I consider these slick frauds and fakes to be a greater threat than the enemies that directly attack me. I prefer to meet an honorable enemy on the field of battle than find a dagger in my back from one that has fooled my brothers into thinking him an ally.
I don't like politics and politicians. I prefer statesmen and repesentation.
There are many good organizations out there, but always KNOW where your money is going. Always check the organization you are giving to.
