Help needed- number of bad republican charities

[NJmaverick]

I know over the past year we have heard about quite a few of these charities that Republican congressman set up, that then funnel money to various cohorts. I am debating a republican and need a list of these things. Can anyone help me out?

1. Can't help you there but also of interest

is the number of "faith based charities" that have sprung from nowhere once the bushies started funneling money to the churches. Talk about a payoff with our money.

7. Can you help me out with an explanation?? This may seem.......

......like a really stupid question but what do "public filings" have to do with these non-profit organizations? I don't really understand it. Are the "public filings" a list of the share holders or office holders?

Thanks for your help!!

4. Gingrich's ALOF charity for high school speech contests

--snip
Gingrich built a national Republican propaganda machine by misusing a system of nonprofit think tanks and tax-exempt charities. As Westword reported last year ("Newt's Local Link," December 20), a Colorado charity set up by Callaway helped funnel tens of thousands of dollars from GOPAC, Gingrich's national Republican political action committee, to a pair of partisan cable shows. That local charity, the Abraham Lincoln Opportunity Foundation (ALOF), originally was founded to fund high school speech contests.
