The place is covered in garbage, and it doesn't look like anyone has touched it in several months. So, what's the deal? If you're not going to clean it up, I'm going to petition Caltrans to have your sign taken down again, until you actually show up, and do the work. Or was it just a political statement, like your laughable fence?

Where did you get the idea that they are set up to disburse charitable donations? The SPLC is a recipienmt of such funds, and the fact tht they still hand out a bigger percentage of their funds than Simcox does despite that being what Simcox is supposed to be doing....speaks very highly of SPLC, and well, not quite so highly of the Mini-Men. BTW Chris. If your ever up BC way again, I'd like to offer you that "any toe that comes over our border, stays over our border" offer that I left you last time, once again!

Has this changed? Some more recent information on the SPLC's finances would be appreciated, as would not having this question censored. Thank you.

Next thing you know, expect a “Grand Coalition” of racist and white-supremacist movements to call for a Day of Solidarity with the Oppressed and Persecuted Afrikaner Peoples of South Africa coincident with the traditional “Day of the Vow” observance on 16 December.

THAT will be a rather tasteless event indeed, especially the manufactured emotion when The Vow is repeated….
