Southern Poverty Law Center Takes Aim at Justice Moore
January 27, 2015
Unbeknownst to tens of thousands of donors a year,
however, is the fact that millions of their donation dollars never reach the SPLC’s coffers. Let’s look at the numbers:
First,
the Good News: According to the SPLC’s tax returns, (shown below), over the
past three fiscal years, third-party
telemarketers raised
$5,156,337 toward the SPLC’s worthy goal of “fighting hate” in
America.
The
Bad News: The SPLC
actually paid $5,750,295 to the telemarketers over those three
years, for
a net loss of $593,958 donor-dollars!
One
telemarketing firm, Grassroots
Campaigns, of Boston, charged Mr. Dees an incredible $3,883,469
to raise $1,644,804, for
an astonishing loss of $2,238,665.
Not only did Grassroots keep every dime they raised from well-meaning donors, they completely wiped out the $1,644,804 turned over to the SPLC by all of the other
telemarketers combined AND scooped an additional $593,958 out of the existing SPLC donor pot!
The
Other Good News: “Sound
Steward” Morris
Dees could not be happier with the results.
How
can Mr. Dees condone this rampant hemorrhaging of desperately needed
donor-dollars? To recycle the old vaudeville punchline: “He’ll make it up in volume.”
