I quit giving to united way when that fiasco about planned parenthood was going on about a decade ago. But why would I use United Way anyway? I can give directly to charities myself.


After taking a "tour of organizations supported by United Way" about 11 years ago, I consider them a political organization, pure and simple. I yanked my support right after that tour. My boss at the time understood.

Give to the Scouts directly

For as many years as I can remember, the United Way has coerced people in the workplace to pledge. Several bosses told me that my pledge would be noted in my evaluation for a raise.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the big bosses go to the meetings and pledge to give a certain amount. And then they brow beat their employees to give so that they can get their picture taken with a check in the newspaper.

I loathe this organization.
