Inititally I thought: they don't want to be seen endorsing a particular religion because someone might complain.

But then I thought: the only people who make such complaints are liberals and they hate all American warriors, wounded or otherwise.

With the vast amount of airtime they use for fundraisning, it amazes me that they can even meet the CFC requirement of spending less than 25% of their gross on administration and overhead.

With their TV air time, I have questions, too. Also with several animal cruelty ads.

Baffling to say the least.
I hope WWP takes the time to explain the reasoning behind the action.

I am so sick of their long-winded and tear-jerking commercials that I will never again donate anything to them.

Unbelievable. They're tying firearms to suicide and drug/alcohol abuse.

They must be rolling in $$.

They won't see a dime from me.

I will be using the contact button on their website to inform them of why.

Thunder Ranch looked into this and they have stopped donating to WWP as well. As soon as I read the post on Facebook coming from the owners of TR I said that I will not give to WWP .

Wounded Warrior Project Reportedly Refused

I guess they did not need the 50K the church was trying to raise......I can't write them a check for 50k....so I am also done donating to them.....they must not need the money. They can kiss my conservative ass that believes in religious freedom.

Quote
Kindergarten teacher Tanya Sue Albritton posted a message on the Wounded Warrior Project Facebook page, explaining that her students were devastated.

“They were very sad,” she wrote. One little girl wanted to know, ‘Why can’t we share with the soldiers?’”

“I was at a loss as to what I should tell her because I don’t understand it myself…Well, WWP, why can’t we share with the soldiers,” she added.

In delivering the news to his congregation, Pastor Cooley penned what he described as “one of the saddest letters I have ever had to write”:


“We are very disappointed that we, as a religious organization, are being discriminated against. But they are a private organization and have and should have the freedom to make their own rules.”

Their logo is plastered all over Under Armor shirts at the PX hell I've got a CamelBak cup with the WWP logo on it I bought at AUSA in 2008.

Makes me wanna toss it in the trash bin now.

And now I'm stuck giving them a piece of my paycheck for the next 12 months.

I know what you mean. I didn't put WWP on my CFC, but enough people asked the unit CFC rep that he memorized their number.

I've seen the DAV, Legion, and VFW reps help vets, all I've ever actually seen of WWP is them asking for stuff from my military posts to put on fundraising events and television commercials.
