Must be another Republican crook.

Find him and take all his $ give it to the veterans and throw this bum in jail... better yet ship him off to Iraqs frontlines

I saw the show when they outlined some of the shady stuff this charity does, it's my opinion that defrauding the public when it affects veterans should be viewed as treason and treated as such.

Sounds to me like this guy is busted! I hate these "charity groups' that raise money for vets, kids, whatever and pocket the vast majority or use it for any purpose other than the stated cause. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.

Why an I not surprised!

Keep investigating! Do a piece on government no-bid contractors hiring illegals! You can start in Mass and in Texas!

I am appalled that the monies, we Americans are giving to Veterans charities, is being STOLEN. In a time where we see 100+ Vets per week committing suicide, and at a time when we are seeing more battlefield injuries than any time in the last 30+ years. Patriotic, hard working Americans are doing all that they can to tell our Vets, thanks by donating their hard earned money. The net result is that our Vets are once again casualties of GREED of unscrupulous con-artist. Shame on everyone that has perpetrated this fraud on the heroic Veterans of this nation. What is even sadder: It is highly doubtful that anything will change, because our politicians today are wrapped up in their own petty bickering and self interest. Oh for the days of old, where tar and feathering was the rule of law. We could use it on the con-artist and the politicians.

on the evening new 12 13 07 @6 30 brodcast we were not sure if the D A V was noted as one of bad charties please advise and state say it isn't so the D A V does outstanding work. thank you js

Most republicans are like this guy...money is their IDOL and their greed is legendary. They support an administration who passes out cash right smack dab in the middle of the killing fields. The yield????? a dead soldier and a foot or two of concrete blocks in a rectangle or square or something that might resemble a building if you had a contractor that knew his job.

why is it only the democrats seem to care about veterans? The republican scum only help the rich and only make noise about helping anyone else. Yeah less than 12 months to finally dump the worst of the worst. Bush.

I am a Vietnam Vet, This is about as bad as Clinton signing NAFTA & CAFTA .. It makes me sick to see stores carry products ( Made In Vietnam ) Our politicans have sold Americans OUT for GREED and BIG Bussiness and call it FREE TRADE !! Eighty years ( 80 ) America has been figthing WARS to stop Communist Aggression, Our leaders sent us to war with North Korea and North Vietnam, both supported by China who shipped weapons and soldiers to kill and wound American GI's . Now we are supporting them THANKS to our politicans who SUPPORTED NAFTA/CAFTA for thier own personal GREED............

Greed Politics..lately this is the bottom of the Top...Veterans have been swindled through the coarse of its Office in command...Assistance is two fold..but never on the side of the vet..Many vets and their families go without..For one I am the wife of a VietNam vet..who shared a great deal of military comraderie with the wars that have been indignate to its offspring..My husband endurred cruelty from his family and friends he came home to..Even working for the Veterans Program, he still received just as much bureaucratic red tape...this is why he would not support any organizations for help..he believed it to be a set up for a fall..hope for ever, yet, never cometh..Jail would not serve these two..for they are old..let them live in the desert..for this is where most must learn to endure suffering..Let them go and be abandoned there..this punishment would fit the crime for all veterans...Apachecheynne

Big money does ugly things to people not just Republicans or Democrats. This guy is looking for a high priced lawyer to get him off. The way the courts work nowdays, if he does make it there, his big money probably will get him probation (with time served). All in the name of money. The congressional hearings mean little except for a sound bite for the Politicians tirades.

I am pleased to get this opportunity to have a say on bad charities , especially ones that claim to be helping Veterans. And , blow our own horn. Any Individual that make this claim , collects money in the name and blood of our nations Veterans and don't deliver should be hung in the "town Square ".

Fourteen years ago I founded a charity called Veteran's Haven , Inc., that headquarters are located in Wayne , Michigan.For the purpose of helping our homeless and needy Vets. We provide many services Three years ago Channel 4 in Detroit did an expose on bad Veterans Charities in our area. Many were exposed and according the AG of Michigan , we came out on top , 90% of every dollar collected goes either directly to or provide our services to Vets. They came to our Center and interviewed me , afterwards I even received some death threats from another Veterans Group in Wayne that was making a ton of cash with a car donation program and giving back very little to help Vets. They thought I sicked channel 4 on them ,that's ok ,they ran for cover and left the City of Wayne.In 2002 , this one particular group collected $466,000 and gave back to Vets $10,000 .It angers us to see this type of abuse and "smucks" taking advantage of the people that provide our Freedom and Protection.

We operate on a shoes string budget and do more for Vets than the other groups or Veterans agencies do with a large operating budget , where the Vets get short changed and they provide the least. They send clients to us. We work with the VA hospitals and other services organization that can't provide our type of services to Veterans.

This guy should be hung in a town square . Anyone that collects money in the name of and blood of our Veterans and doesn't deliver should be subject to the harshest punished allowable by law , but they usually walk with a fine and slap on the hand. They hire an expensive "mouth piece " with the money they stole and it's lets make a deal!

I gave alot of money to these f graded charities. We have been robbed!Raped and lied,to! They sent us blankets,calendars,coffee mugs,greeting cards,address labels,pads with our names on them.This always bothered me.The money for the item,shipping and labor cost etc, etc...Turns out we got more then the men and women who fight for our freedom. I feel violated. How do they feel?

Bush and Cheney are making more money off the spilled blood of our troops than any charity!

Judgement day is here Mr. Chapin.

ITIS TIME FOR ALL VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS TO FACE THE MUSIC FOR THEIR ILLEGAL BENEVOLENCE????THE REPORT DOES NOT LIST ALL OF THE VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS THAT COLLECT IN THE NAME OF THE DISABLED VETERANS.THE VFW AS WELL AS THE DAV BOTH COLLECT A MULTITUDE OF DOLLARS AND WOULD LIKE ALL OF AMERICA TO BELIEVE THAT THE VETERAN IS THE BENEFICIARY.SOMETIMES THAT VETERAN IS EMPLOYED AND HIS "NEEDS" ARE MET BY THE LOCAL TILL.NO ACCOUNTING AND THE GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM IS ENTRENCHED AT THE LOCAL CHAPTER.I HAVE SEEN IT ALL AND COULD NOT QUIETLY PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CHARADES.YOU CAN WELL IMAGINE THAT SPEAKING UP ONLY PUT ME ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN.

As you can see, this blotter does not mention the name of the Charity.

Thus, this report is designed to debunk all Veterans charity groups that create a bad image [of all] Veterans groups.

Uh--Yes it does. The charity is called "Help Hospitalized Veterans".
