There are scads of great charities out there. Lots of good folks and causes to get behind. I am all for giving. I am all for helping. BUT I do think one needs to do the homework too. Find out if the foundation supports what you support. If a charity sends inner city kids to camp-YAY! If it also gives millions to Planned Parenthood to aid in the killing of babies then you may want to second guess giving to them.(I am just supposing here that most, some, a few of my peeps are pro-life.)
www.fightpp.org is the website of Life Decisions International. They have a boycott list they circulate and surprise! Who supports abortion? K-mart? Sears? The Rotary? Susan G Komen? Ebay? PayPal? The GirlScouts? Yep. You be the judge. You decide. Consider yourself informed.
We can give. We can also discern.

Wow, Carla. I had no idea. Thanks for the info. Susan G Komen, too, eh?
I am pro life. No abortion for any reason. This is why I do not buy anything with a pink ribbon on it. They are popping up all over! Susan G Kommen (sp?) gives thousands to Planned Parenthood every year. I don't want to support that.
I just found your blog, and I like it! :-) Thanks for the source..definitely warrants further reading.
I've been lurking around for a while and really enjoy your blog. Thanks for this tip!
Hi Mich and Sarah,

Wow, thanks for the heads-up!!
I did rather an extensive post on this a while back. I'll go find it, send it in an email and perhaps you could post it?
