ACLU Loses 25% of Its Funding

And wait until you see why:

The American Civil Liberties Union has lost a quarter of its yearly donations after a major donor cut off $19 million in annual donations because of economic difficulties.

David Gelbaum, a wealthy California conservationist, said he was indefinitely stopping the donations that had made him the New York-based group's largest anonymous donor.

"For a number of years, your organization has received very substantial charitable contributions from me," Gelbaum said in a statement. "My investments in alternative, clean energy companies have placed me in a highly illiquid position as a result of the general credit crisis in the American and world financial systems."

This guy not only bought into the anti-American nonsense promoted by the ACLU, but also bought into the notion that investing in "clean energy" is a sound strategy. He's the classic liberal.

By the way, Obama also tells us that investing in clean, green energy will generate the jobs needed to get the U.S. out of its current problems. He should go talk to Mr. Gelbaum.
