Subject: BS: Sean Hannity's Freedom Alliance a scam?
I wouldn't be surprised if it were...but according to right wing blogger Debbie Schlussel it is. While she certainly does have an axe to grind, it appears she did the research before making her claims. The freedom alliance is a "charity" that donates money to wounded veterans, and scholarships to the children of slain soldiers. However, the money they dole out is rather paltry, especially with the millions they bring in from donations, concerts, and various assets. By the tax returns the vast majority goes for "expenses"...including postage expenses of over a million dollars. Her blog article is here. Her article also links to several tax returns filed by the organisation, and they do look rather damning.
