farming here in TX and it's a disgusting twist on privatising for profit (whether it's called "non-profit" or not).


"The three DeLay-related charities are the DeLay Foundation For Kids Inc., Oaks At Rio Bend Inc. and Celebrations For Children Inc.

Celebrations For Children was the "charity" that was going to sponsor events at the Republican National Convention to get around the ban on soft money.

...the media thought Celebrations was inactive after it received a lot of negative publicity but Celebrations raised $293K and spent $210K in the year ended August 31, 2004. No money was donated to charity. Cash at 8/31/04 was $96k.

Oaks At Rio Bend is the charity that is building housing for foster children in Fort Bend,TX.
