And they keep trying to tell me there is no Gawd.
From TFA:
The American Civil Liberties Union sent out an emergency appeal to card-carrying members and donors this week after realizing it is a victim of Bernard Madoff's self-confessed Ponzi scheme.
"We've been hit hard in a way that no one could forecast," Alma Montcla, director of administration and finance for the left-leaning advocacy group, wrote this week. "Two foundations that have been incredibly generous and longstanding supporters of our national security and reproductive freedom work have been victimized by the Madoff scandal - forced to close their doors and terminate their grants," the plea said.
"That means that $850,000 in support we were counting on from these foundations in 2009 simply won't exist."
The ACLU reported $80 million in income in 2007.
