Call Heritage!

Call Heritage and ask them what did they do with rent controled 
tenants of the 70 year old apartment building, adjoining their 
headquarters, three blocks from Capitol Hill, that was donated to 
them by that building's owner!

In the recent solicitation letter, Edwin Feulner, Heritage president, 
brags about acquiring that property, about the ability to house there 
66 interns ("farm team") - the future conservative leaders of America 
- are they going to sleep in rooms from which low-income minority 
tenants had been evicted?

He is also bragging about the media-ready 200-seat auditorium, 
practically on the steps of the Senate, already funded for, expecting 
to double the impact of their messages. And what exactly are those 
messages?

Underlined for emphasis, there is a sentence in the letter: "Heritage 
is still tiny compared to the forces of liberalism who are out to 
defeat us." Is there any liberal foundation so close to the White 
House and commandeering such a large pool of money?

But this goes on: "This LIBERAL foundations spent over $ 7 billion 
last year alone in their CONTINUING EFFORT TO IMPOSE SOCIALISM on 
America..."  This guy got his apples and oranges completely mixed up. 
Since when would liberals want to impose socialism?

"And OF COURSE, we're up against the full force and funding of the 
federal government - your tax dollars and mine at work, against us!" 
Excuse me? Just a couple of paragraphs before Edwin wrote: "In answer 
to the Senator's question, the President suggested she 'Call 
Heritage'."

Call Heritage, and ask them why are they lying in their solicitation 
letter telling you that they're up against the full force of the 
federal government, if in the same letter they readily acknowledge 
that the president of the same government is directing people to call 
them for advice!

In search for more messages that will get higher prominence with the 
new building and the new auditorium, I, also,  browsed the Heritage 
web page. They supported U.S. military adventure in Iraq, yet they 
oppose sending American boys to Liberia. Although, they do say that 
the U.S. has a "special relationship with Liberia" and that America 
has "historical and cultural ties with much of that continent" 
[Africa].

The US literally established Liberia as a country. It is a country 
established by former African slaves from the U.S., so much for 
historical and cultural ties between the US and Africa, squeezed 
between two other failed states: former British colony, Siera Leone, 
now under control of the British (again), and former French colony, 
Cote D'Ivoire, now under control of the French (again). I guess the 
world just expects the US to do its fiduciary duty. Call Heritage and 
ask them why they think that is wrong.
