11/10/05 Edition Stop The ACLU

The ACLU has breaking news for everyone: ACLU and Diverse Coalition of National Non-Profits Win Major Victory in Challenge to Misguided CFC Government Watch List and Contribution Policies I got this information directly from the ACLU's website. This is a press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: media@aclu.org NEW YORK – The American Civil Liberties Union and 12 other national non-profit organizations today said they have successfully challenged Office of Personnel Management’s Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) requirements that all participating charities check their employees and expenditures against several government watch lists for "terrorist activities" and that organizations certify that they do not contribute funds to organizations on those lists.

Now we have proof positive that the ACLU is anti-American. Right down to the core. To make such declarations as the one above, with gleeful tone, should concern people who care about this country. It's well known that Muslim freaks use their Mosques and the charities that are set up as a front to cover terrorist activity. Money is gathered and used to train future terrorists; the money is given to peace loving groups such as Hamas. Yes, the ACLU is looking out for the people of America.

"This is a major victory for non-profit organizations that refused to be subjected to vague government requirements forcing us to become law enforcement officers for the federal government," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. “We feel vindicated. List checking is not and has not been required by law.� Romero was referring to the Office of Personnel Management’s final regulation posted in the Federal Register earlier this week, saying that it is dropping list-checking requirements. The regulation states: “Under the final rule, effective for 2006 and subsequent campaigns, OPM does not mandate that applicants check the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List or the Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL).�

This is major victory for those who want to harm Americans. And the ACLU has assisted these people with open hands and all the legal pull they could muster. This pisses me off, it's exactly what we DON'T need now.

In 2003, the CFC generated more than $248 million from approximately 1,345,000 federal employees, according to the ACLU. The funds went to more than 10,000 participating non-profits that support our country’s health and education systems, the arts and the environment, childrens’ services and religious life. CFC contributions earmarked for the ACLU typically totaled about $500,000 per year; as a result of the policy, the organization lost more than $1 million in contributions.

Yes and I wonder how many of these health and education systems were (and still are) serving as front doors for terrorist groups, using these funds for their dirty work. (Did you read that little bit up there about the funds going for religious life???-the ACLU hates religion!)

“Watch list requirements and other misguided policies of today remind us of the now- discredited anti-Communist list checking of the early 1950’s,� said Romero. “It is no more justified now than it was then.�

I don't believe the anti-Communist list checking has ever been discredited. It's a matter of how one perceives their education about the issue. Oh and let's have a look at those other groups who went along with the ACLU with this:

In addition to the ACLU, the following organizations are plaintiffs in the litigation: Advocacy Institute; Amnesty International USA; Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund; Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law; Electronic Frontier Foundation; NAACP Special Contribution Fund; NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc.; Natural Resources Defense Council; Focus Project d/b/a/ OMB Watch; Our Bodies Ourselves; People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals; and Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.

I need not say more. All these groups are a bunch of socialist, sappy ass, snotty nosed sub citizens who are using issues of American security as a means to gain attention (kind of like little kids do).

The text of the letter from the CFC:

"I certify that as of (date), the organization in this application does not knowingly employ individuals or contribute funds to organizations found on the following terrorist related lists promulgated by the U.S. Government, the United Nations, or the European Union. Presently these lists include the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control Specially Designated Nationals List, the Department of Justice’s Terrorist Exclusion List, and the list annexed to Executive Order 13224. Should any change of circumstances occur during the year OPM will be notified within 15 days of such change."

What's so BAD about that???? This post is part of the STOP THE ACLU Blog Burst...
