They're "special". Read the comments from readers at the bottom of the page... mostly supportive... just one leftist weenie thinking they're "entitled".

United Way is a PRIVATE charity organization, BTW. NOT funded by the government.

Just the same as in the UK when many people leave it until the last hour of the last day to enter their Tax Return online and then find the site crashes due to overloading. After which, they are liable to penalties and complain about it.

The scout troop that I was in, over 40 years ago raised all of it' own funds, and any papers that needed to be filed were mailed in the day before the were allowed to arrive, so they got there the next day or two. That was part of 'A scout is always prepared!'.

I know. Their office is right behind the local VA clinic so i went in one day to see if they could point me to an affordable law office, or group that helped to incorporate a non profit corporation. I was rather disgusted with how disorganized they were.

Oddly, however, many LEOs and other gov workers as well, contribute to this particular charity. Weird. Weird like the mason thing.

Yep. Motorola in particular. So I always chose to designate the recipient as "The Florence Crittenton League" ;-)
