Pay Pal aka Iguana Lipped Pay Pal Pinheads

After 20 years in the military and 10 years as a lawyer I have learned to pretty much keep my temper even when people do the dumbest things. However, when you screw our troops for no better reason than you don't like the 2nd amendment, well that just sets me off!

From My Position donated a pistol to be raffled off to help the Solders' Angels fund raising. For those of you who don't know the Solders' Angels organization is, in my mind, the best non-profit helping our troops. They are truly heroes. So far so good, a pistol being legally raffled off to raise money to help our our troops - what could possibly go wrong? Why in 5 words:

Iguana Lipped Pay Pay Pinheads

Seems Pay Pal has a thing about not liking guns and the 2nd Amendment, so when they found out about the raffle they shut down the Solders' Angels account - not just the pistol raffle but the whole account. Since they had other fund raising events going on Solders' Angels had to agree to remove the pistol raffle from Pay Pal - even though there seems to be no breach of the terms of use - before Pay Pal was oh so friggen kind to allow them back on. Unbelievable.

I wish there was another service our there, I'd use them. Instead I am going to switch to credit cards and E checks for purchases - no more Pay Pal for me.

If ya want to let Pay Pal what you think of their support for a non-profit that does such great things for our troops you can call them at: (402) 935-2050 - I am sure they will be happy to hear from you.

Of more import, if you want to take help a great organization, call (626) 529-5114 during normal business hours (PST) and buy a raffle ticket or two - I am.
