“RECKLESS LUNACY!” screams dark letters on the envelope.
Which reckless lunacy? TARP? Infusion into the economy of billions of dollars we don’t have? Hundreds of millions to Egypt’s ruling Muslim Brotherhood? Aid to Al-Queda in Syria?
Well, no. The letter from Fox News employee and retired from the Marine Corps because he admitted lying to Congress, says in a six-page letter that his organization – Freedom Alliance – needs money to fight President Obama’s plans to disarm America.
Included in the large, bulk mail envelope, is an “EMERGENCY PERSONAL REPLY” for the “2013 ANTI-DISARMAMENT PLEDGE OF SUPPORT” to be signed and returned in a (not postage-paid) envelope to North “c/o FREEDOM ALLIANCE” in Merrifield, Va. And, oh, yes, please include a small donation of $25 or $1,000. The courteous North even has a place for writing name and number of whichever credit card the supporter wishes to use – Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover.
Never mind that in addition to lying to Congress and shedding hundreds of documents that would have implicated him in Iran-Contra, North was indicted on 16 felony charges and convicted of three – “accepting an illegal gratuity; aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry; and ordering the destruction of documents” (Wikipedia). Although the convictions were overturned, this American decided never to trust anything North said.
North will not get any of my mother-in-law’s Social Security. All her mail comes to my address. Over a three-year period, she gave somewhere between $10,000 and $15,000 to so-called lobbyists who, like Freedom Alliance, constitute “a fully qualified organization under IRS regulations.”
A “fully qualified organization.” That is a phrase those people use to make people believe their donations are tax deductible. It is a lie.
