I have also dropped my policy with State Farm and chose another company...I had tried contacting State Farm several times to discuss their support of ALEC and received NO response...they however had no problem in contacting me when it was time to renew my policy with them.
Really, voting machines rigged for Obama in Ohio? How deluded can you be. See who owns the company that makes the voting machines and you will see a conservative. It would be nice if you would research your facts,so you won't appear to be such an idiot. While you are at it, learn some grammar, capitalization rules, and punctuation so your posts will at least look a bit like one from someone with some education.
CCF and its backers have a vested interest in badmouthing groups like HSUS and sadly many people believe their twists on the truth. They claim that HSUS does not spend any money on local shelters and that if you are donating money to HSUS, you are not helping animals and that you are being fooled. That is NOT TRUE! While HSUS is not the same as your local humane society, they do a tremendous amount of work to help animals to include emergency rescue, puppy mill busts, exposing cruelty in fur farms, etc. and yes helping local shelters.
If anyone out there has ANY doubts as to what HSUS does with their money to help animals, I can tell you as a volunteer on several of the 12 puppy mill busts in the last 18 months in NC that their money is going to help the animals. If it were not for HSUS, the counties could not afford to execute these busts. It take resources - lots of resources, including money, to make it happen. It not only takes a lot of money, but also lots of volunteers like me, that have been trained in emergency rescue and help from many other shelters, rescues, vets and pet supply companies. Do you know who pulls all of that help together? Our HSUS state director. HSUS state directors are not paid a lot - especially for the amount of hours they put into their work. Despite what people think, donations are needed from the public to HSUS to help animals and that includes the people on their payroll to make this happen. Not one group out there runs successfully without operating costs.
My point? Yes some money does not go directly to the animals' care as CCF goes on and on about - some goes to the operating expenses of a much-needed international group that helps more animals than any other group out there. HSUS does not run your local shelter and never claimed to do that, but to say they don't use your money to help animals is a blatant lie. As the article says - look at the businesses that profit from animal cruelty and look at which side they are on because it is not HSUS'. They want them to fail so they support CCF in a big way. I never trust the opinion of groups like CCF that have a vested interest in seeing good groups fail.
