I actually don't have a huge problem with this, since it has the potential to benefit me and my daughter. That said, I won't be able to give much.<br /><br />If it were an organization I didn't support, then I'd feel differently.Laurahttp://geekymomblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-33593758937472548122010-09-26T09:58:33.086-06:002010-09-26T09:58:33.086-06:00Lilian: Yep!

All I feel I can say on the topic at this moment is that we each were asked, at a department meeting, to consider giving a couple hundred dollars to student scholarship endowment funds. While we were told there's "no pressure" to donate, folks were already making a tally of how much we could generate if we all donated. <br /><br />Of course I support students, but. . .

At various times, there's been a little pressure, though less of late.<br /><br />I'd rather donate specifically to the group(s) I really want to support. (Which doesn't include a paramilitary organization that requires a religious conviction and hates gays/lesbians.)Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-81274914004300286692010-09-25T22:33:37.073-06:002010-09-25T22:33:37.073-06:00Hmmm, wow.

Before, that couldn't hurt you much, but now... so much more is at stake, right? Sigh. <br /><br />I have no brains to tackle the subject right now, sorry about that!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902911922952429223noreply@blogger.com
