69. What is it you are looking for?

Obviously I could post a link that shows where some of the money is going already.. and here it is.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/robin-hood-announces-next-wave-in-funding-for-sandy-relief-182835271.html

Now judging by your posts this is not enough, because after all anyone can make up anything they want. Your post is designed to keep people from donating money to help others, yet you cannot come up with any facts except that you and your neighbors have not been handed any cash.

So what is it you want? You want people to stop doing what they think is right on your say so?

I have seen some mean spiteful things on DU lately, but this, well after being handed the financial reports from RobinHoodRelief and now a list of grants that have been approved you are still going to deny that any money is being used to help people. Anyone can put out a press release, anyone can have a website, anyone can show their financials. True, but it's also true that anyone can come on DU and post whatever they want without a shred of evidence to back up their claims and still claim the high moral ground.

I'd like to wish you luck with your endeavor, but seeing as you are telling people not to try and help others, I really can't.

Have a nice day.
