... If anyone is interested a membership in the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties (which automatically makes you a "card-carrying" member of the national organization) is just $35 The membership is not tax deductible but any additional contributions you make to the ACLU Foundation are 100% deductible since they are restricted from lobbying activities. The membership is paid, but is NOT deductible, just so you can contribute and GET a deduction? That's it! I am starting my own organization, like pronto! I'll call it the AGLU: American Gigolo Liberators United. You in, DJ? I always wanted to be a gigolo and I would rather flush $35.00 down the toilet than give it to the ACLU or better yet buy Jack a case of beer

Awww, Saints preserve us. Now you're just being a pill and provoking people. Of course ! Most of the other pills have left. If anyone is interested a membership in the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties (which automatically makes you a "card-carrying" member of the national organization) is just $35 The membership is not tax deductible but any additional contributions you make to the ACLU Foundation are 100% deductible since they are restricted from lobbying activities. The ACLU has had quite the fall from grace over the years, but I have to say that shelling out 35 bucks for the next year to read their poopaganda they are selling might be worth it since they are otherwise quite secretive. I will have to think about your offer.

If Obama & Co. continue down the path of destruction the ACLU may be the last bastion of HOPE to offset the Change. Still not going to detour Children's Hospital $$ to them but hell it was a flash ROM.

Clarification if you misunderstood my post a little: You don't have to pay for a membership to donate to the tax-exempt ACLU Foundations.

ACLU Collapse or wishful thinking? We should all (except JD) sleep better tonight. ACLU loses its biggest donor: $19 million a year Previously anonymous giver says economy has taken toll on his financesNEW YORK - The American Civil Liberties Union has lost a quarter of its yearly donations after a major donor cut off $19 million in annual donations because of economic difficulties. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34364175/There must be 1000’s of anti ACLU stories out there Not likely to ever happen! I can hear "BAILOUT" before it even comes close to failing. Obama has all those millions from ACORN that needs to be "redistributed". Obama may be in need of their services come the end of his administration.

The ACLU is still around. They joined with the NRA is suing a public official who tried to keep banks from doing business with the NRA, I believe. Such is why I’m an ACLU member.
