Make the Road New York is closely involved in a number of anti-Trump campaigns!

A prominent liberal activist group that is closely involved with anti-Trump campaigns has been awarded more than $20 million in taxpayer-funded government grants since 2002, according to a review of the organization's Form 990s.

Make the Road New York (MRNY), a New York City-based Latino immigrant group with 19,000 dues-paying members, has been actively involved with anti-Trump campaigns and is closely linked to an organization that is spearheading a new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span across 32 states.

How many are non citizens interfering in our national and local elections?

The swamp gets bigger. But does the draining attempt get correspondingly bigger?

The Obama Giveaway: From 2002 to 2007, MRNY recorded $1,372,440 in government grants on their Form 990s, an amount that averages $274,488 per year, with no grants in 2005. Government funding to the group sharply increased between 2008 and 2014, the last year a Form 990 is publicly available from the group.

In 2008, MRNY's taxpayer-funded grants rose above $1 million for the first time when the group pulled in $1,052,195 in grants. In 2009, the amount increased to $1,928,863. In 2010, MRNY was given $2,693,885. In 2011, the group pulled in $2,490,540. From 2012 to 2014, MRNY took in $10,996,247 in government grants.

An absolute disgrace. Income redistribution to domestic enemies.

No offense folks, but how the hell does this happen? First of all, why is the government giving grants to anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Trump groups.

What's with this whole government grant thing? I want to know how much the Federal government spends every year in government grants. A loan is one thing, but a grant is free and clear. What in God's name was the basis for MRNY obtaining a grant? What's the Form 990? Are grants commonly given? Is this just another 'work the system' scheme that leftists milk from hard working tax paying citizens? $20 Million in grant money? Give me a break!

I hope Trump et al take a long hard look at this whole grant system sometime during his terms in office. This just has to stop.

Americans are getting sick of seeing the Beltway, the elites and leftist groups all over the country living high on the hog. They all seem to be able to work the system in one way or another. We've had it! Drain the swamp!

Anyone have inside knowledge on this whole grant thing?

This is all being orchestrated by Obama, Soros and Obama's Organizing for Action Now we hear he's buying that home he's been renting. Now that he has it all wired up with his cronies at the CIA and NSA, he's good to go.

We have to Fight this! I hope Jeff Sessions is investigating Obama for his numerous crimes. Hope he start with the treasonous Obama Spying Scandal.

P.S. I just reread it and ran into this:

MRNY has received federal funding from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Labor.

How in sam hill are they getting grants from HHS?? Homeland Security?? And the topper, the Dept of Labor??? Is the Federal government just an ATM for elites, the Uniparty, dems, academics and various anti-American freeloader groups?

Meanwhile, I have to go to work at 7 am.

P.S. II: I want to know how much 'Grant Money' Obama's Organizing for Action has received since its inception. Anyone have access to this information?

And my company forces us to justify each $100.00 for tolling or PC supplies!

And this group of illegal aliens gets millions. Year, after year, after year, after year.

The tyranny and hypocrisy of the left is so disgusting. Tax dollars used for political speech forces citizens to fund things diametrically opposed to their beliefs.

Taxes pay for leftist propaganda, abortion, and attacks on the family.

This is a 1000 times worse than the “taxation without representation” that triggered the Revolution.

Our government is full of leftwing, Satan-worshipping, pedophiles who need to be removed from office, from society, and from the planet.

Revoke their citizenship. I don’t care if they were born here and have family going back 200 years; all leftists should be deported. It’s up to them to find a country that will take their miserable asses and go there as refugees never to return to the country they hate and are constantly trying to destroy; the USA.

End the plague of leftism once and for all and make leftism a felony in which the penalty is deportation and citizenship revocation. It’s obvious we can’t both live in America and they clearly are not Americans except by the loosest definition. The time to play nice with these evil cretins is over with. They are criminally insane and can’t be reasoned with.

I guess we could also have civil war II as an alternative but millions of dead leftists will stink even worse than they do already.

We need to put an end to subsidy of non profits. This is clear violation of my speech, just as it were an established religion.

Why do we break the law and congress unaccountable?

“Anti-Conservatism” is an industry in America.

Well, “O” said he WOULD create jobs.

That is how the liberals do things. Radical groups that support open borders and illegal immigration also receive a lot of grant funding.

We the people need to cut off the $$$.
