I just don't know how to thank you all for keeping this going!      We have been on the road and trying to get the camper set up and I have a new iphone and voting from there daily BUT not been keeping up with all the other stuff.  Thank you for keeping the reminders going and the new recruitment's!  We REALLY NEED THE HELP!  LIKE YOU SAID TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND WE MUST BE IN THE TOP 10!!     The number one thing in that $25,000. is teaching hip hop to kids!?  hat that is important cause why?   ???

[Donna]

25,000 to teach Hip Hop, they can't get volunteers  to do that? I don't get it but hey, it is what it is. My first priority every morning is to vote for causes, if there are any, do my sweepstakes, yes, I have a few and then forum. I hope they can get in the top ten soon. Would be nice for the troops to win. Keep plugging away.

Because someone probably told them they are special AND those teaching are probably going to pocket it, sadly. 

Troops defending us or hip-hop?  Let's see those kids hop in the desert!

Gee, I wish someone had taught me Hip-Hop when I was growing up in the inner city so I would have a such a valuable skill as an adult. Those worthless math, science, and written language skills I was taught have really hindered me. 

And why does anyone need $50K to stop healthy animals from being fed antibiotics? Simply raise the price of antibiotics and use the surplus money to educate people on the effects of giving antibiotics to healthy animals. The higher cost alone will force farmers to stop doing it. They will only be able to afford enough of antibiotics to give to the sick animals that really need them.

Re:  H$U$ in the #1 spot for $250K...  Long, but worth the read.  Frank Losey is the attorney who is carrying the effort to expose the H$U$ for the fraud it is...

"Maybe?  Maybe not?  But Maybe!!!

Today I received a call back from a Pepsi Representative
after I asked last week to be connected to someone in the General Counsel’s
Office.  Although the call back was not
from the General Counsel’s Office, I believe my 20 Minute conversation was with
someone who had supervisory responsibilities. 
While at first I was politely given a pitch about how Pepsi would not give
the full $250,000 to any recipient in one lump sum, and that Pepsi would
monitor the grant to make sure it was used for its intended purpose.    At that point in time, I made reference to
the IRS Tax Fraud Case File Number; the excessive lobbying  activities of
the  HSUS; the potentially missing
$500 Million from  the  HSUS Tax Returns  for the Years 2005-2009; the potential
laundering of  money;  and the RICO lawsuit filed  by the Parent Company of Ringling Brothers.  I further mentioned several examples of how
the PEPSI “Due Diligence� review of the HSUS may have failed to detect the well
masqueraded acts of deception. At that point, Terri became very receptive to my
suggestion that I E-Mail a copy of the Background Paper entitled the HSUS
“Lobbygate� Cover-Up, which I did.
Fifteen minute later, I received a “Thank You� acknowledgement from
Terri.
 While this is no assurance that
the Background Paper will make a difference, it could become an Uncle Remus
“Tar Baby� that may give some at Pepsi a pause that will not refresh!

The text of my E-Mail is as follows:

Terri:



Thank you for getting back to me.

Attached
is a summary of how the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) has misused several
Hundreds of Millions of Dollars of donations that it has received on
excessive and prohibited lobbying, as well as an insight on how it launders
money through its "family" of affiliated organizations in
order to mask the magnitude of its lobbying activities.

With
respect to the use of the word "laundering," your outside
due diligence auditing firm may wish to review the lawsuit that was filed
in the District Court of the District of Columbia on February 16, 2010 by the Feld Corporation, the Parent
Company of Ringling Brothers Circus.  (Civil Action No.1:07-01532-EGS).
Here it is significant to note that not only is the HSUS named as a defendant
in this case, but that the allegations include references to a violation of the
RICO Statute (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act - - 18
U.S.C. 1961) because of alleged “money laundering� by senior employees of
the HSUS. Included within this lawsuit are allegations that the “HSUS’s
participation in the illegal, improper and fraudulent payment
scheme,� included specific references to Bribery, Illegal
Witness  Payments, Obstruction of  Justice, Mail Fraud, Wire
Fraud, Money Laundering, Conspiracy to Harm a Business, Malicious Prosecution
,  and Abuse of Process.

The Tax Fraud Case File Number is 29-92012.  The Office
of the Inspector General for Tax Administration in the Department of the
Treasury has also assigned a Case File Number (55-1005-0025-C).



Once upon a time there was a major auditing firm that did not catch the
irregularities that doomed Enron.   And once upon another time, no
auditing firm was quick to recognize the Ponzi-like scheme that was
masterminded by Bernie Madoff.  "Lessons Learned" from those two
episodes would suggest that when a RED FLAG is waved, there may be some BULL
behind it! 

I have copies of the more than 1,400 pages of documents that
were submitted to the IRS in the event your due diligence auditing firm
would be interested in reviewing them."

Bottom line:  H$U$ is about to get $250K more with which to fight the "Animal Rights" agenda, at the expense of Animal WELFARE :-(

Pretty sad huh Carol? I knew you would not like this one. I can think of better and more needy ways of spending 250K. Yes, animals count but it needs to be legit. Thanks for all your input on HSUS.

That $250K will ALMOST pay Wayne Pacelle's salary 
Each and every one of us should be taking food, towels, bleach, kitty litter, cat and dog toys, etc., and whatever $ we can spare, to OUR LOCAL NO-KILL Shelters!  We all love animals, let's REALLY help them!
