To put it into perspective:
Since 2003, More than $48 million has been collected. Less than $2 million has been spent on Veterans and their families.
There is no possible justification for this.
i may have missed this, but do you have a link for that? if that is true and this is non-profit charity, i'm pretty certain that is illegal.

If you look at the actual 990, it breaks down its program expenses. They actually spent more money this past year on postage than they did over the past 4 years on scholarships. They paid 60k to an air company, millions to consultants, marketing, fundraising. Their actual expenditures on funds for children of killed/disabled veterans is far less than what they paid themselves or their consultants. Having a large capacity (4 stars) should not overshadow a cumbersome efficiency rating (2 stars).
Schussel is a con and normally an ally of Hannity's.I just went through the tax returns, you're right it's despicable, just when I thought Libs could not get any lower.
Sean is going to eat Debbie Schussels guts for lunch tomorrow
You should probably apologize now Dog

You betcha! By golly...WoW!!
We might have to agree to disagree about that claim. Or we might get back to it later. But as just one example, Page 25 reflects over $1 million spent on intended recipients in 2008, alone.
But Dogbert's complaint is still misleading.
In 2008, of all of the "assets" reported by the Freedom Alliance, over 15 Million were at least temporarily RESTRICTED ASSETS (see page 11 of the tax filing, line 28).
And then, there are the 2008 Freedom Alliance tax forms, which were signed in November 2009 and filed only recently. That year, Freedom Alliance took in $8,781,431 in revenue and gave $1,060,275.57 totalor just 12%to seriously wounded soldiers and for scholarships to kids of the fallen. Remember, this is well below the 75% required to be considered a legitimate charity. And after claiming in written letters to donors that 100% of the money donated, via the Freedom Concerts or otherwise, to the scholarships would go directly to the scholarships and not to expenses, the Freedom Alliance decided to do the contrary and charge expenses anywaycharging a whopping $436,386 to give out $802,250 in scholarships. That means that 35% of the $1,238,636all of which was supposed to go to scholarships for these kids of the fallenwent to Freedom Alliance.
Freedom Alliance spent $5,375,654or 61% of its total revenue earned in 2008on expenses, but actually 80% of the total revenue spent and given out for that year. That includes $1,055,791 spent on postage and $925,392 on printing. It spent $157,041 on travel. Is this the item that includes the money for the alleged Sean Hannity Gulfstream flights?

Charity Navigator Rating - Freedom Alliance
That comment was posted in September of 2009. And you can clearly see this being reflected on their own IRS 990's.

That's from November 2008.

Even if its a fund for scholarships for kids who are 6 and 8 years old now????

"In fact, the Freedom Alliance response doesnt answer any of the questions I raised and goes on to lie more. They dont address why they gave a triple amputee only $200and in fact there are many of these examples provided in their tax return addendum, but I only cited a few for brevity's sake."
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL: HANNITY/NORTH SCAM TROOPS WITH FREEDOM ALLIANCE : Veterans Today
I gotta say I really respect Hannity's consistency and his camp's unwavering commitment to keep butt fucking troops with no vaseline.
On a side note, I accidently passed by Fox last night while they were discussing Healthcare and to keep it balanced they had "UNIVERSAL NIGHTMARE" in fairly large letters across the top of the screen. Looks like they've given up on trying to hide their agenda.
