Court Orders Veterans Fundraiser to Shut Down and Pay $400,000. Pretty scummy, using Veterans to fill your coffers.
The foundation “did not purchase a single phone card to veterans or their families for years — all while it collected hundreds of thousands in contributions from Minnesotans,” read a statement from the office of Attorney General Lori Swanson.
Along with closing operations, Colorado-based TREA (The Retired Enlisted Association) Memorial Foundation must come up with more than $400,000 that will be distributed to legitimate veterans-support groups in the state, according to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, which prevailed in Ramsey County District Court.

Gotta be a special place in hell reserved for people who use charities to enrich themselves instead of helping the people they claim they're helping... ahem, are you listening, Hillary? You listening, Bill? You listening, Chelsea?
This kind of crap is why I never give money to any "charitable" organization. Especially any of that GoFundMe bullshit.
I give my time to charity. I take my rocking horses to charity events and give kids rides. I'm there to A) draw attention to the charity, and B) make kids smile.

Here in Kalifornia, the socialist shithole of the U.S. There are at least two fraudulent fund raisers for the police officer who was killed in Newman...Those people need to be found, and their throats slit with a dull, rusty machete...And I would be willing to bet a months pay they are all liberals...
