The Union Bosses at Kenosha, WI AMC/ Chrysler, and the Company Bosses used to really stick it to me when I refused to "donate" to the United Fund.  Even after I researched it and found out that some of the money went to homosexual groups !!!  Sorry, I gave freely to my friends, family, and poor folks who were honestly down and out, plus the church.   And...  if you call yourself a Christian and your church doesn't preach/ teach from the pure KJV Bible, you ought NOT give them another penny !    You  are feeding the enemy and supporting Satan's people !  Do the Math-- Do your own homework.  Invest in some Silver for the "rainy days ahead" when our American dollar won't even buy you a baloney sandwich.  People will be killing each other over a can of Pork and Beans when the SHTF...  sorry, folks.   One time I even gave the collecting Union Steward a few bucks and told him to buy himself a beer --- just to show him that I was not a stingy person.  But when one of our guys on the assembly line got hurt or sick, and we all passed around a 'get well card,'  we ALL pitched in, $5, $10, or $20, and when I broke my neck in 1997, the guys gave me such a nice, wonderful card with almost $160., in it !!   I posted a Thank You card on the department cork bulletin board at work.     I still have that care in my office today!  

Don't waste your money !

Warm Regards,
Tom
