Radical Rick Santorum Falls Short
It appears that even when Radical Rick is trying to do something good, he’s actually screwing it up. In an associated press article in the the Philly Inquirer it shows that Radical Rick’s charity, Operation Good Neighbor, donated a measly 40% of its profits to charity- way under the average amount of a charity of this nature.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Rick Santorum’s charity donated about 40 percent of the $1.25 million it spent during a four-year period - well below Better Business Bureau standards - paying out the rest for overhead, including several hundred thousand dollars to campaign aides on the charity payroll, records show.
The charity, Operation Good Neighbor, provides grants to small nonprofit groups, many of them religious.
The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance says charitable organizations should spend at least 65 percent of their total expenses on program activities.
If I was looking to donate my money to charity this morning, I’d definitely be looking elsewhere…

I hope the good people of Penn. now understand that this fool must be defeated. This “Charity” of his cares more about rewarding staff than doing good works. Just like the Senator.

And what about his children’s education paid for by the state? (http://www.gatewaynewspapers.com/woodlandprogress/38358/?printable=story)
