501c3

501c3 is a non-profit charitable organization occupying the highest rung of tax-exempt groups operating as a public charity.....according to Paul Pringle, a Los Angeles Times writer.

The fact that an organization like this, that doesn't require disclosing of any information, is used to help finance political individuals....can't come as a surprise to any one who even remotely watches the political process.

The interesting part of the ARNOLD story is that he probably uses that charity as one of his tax write offs. From 2002 to 2004 ARNOLD gave $2.5 million to charities. And in that same period in showed about $55 million in income.

Everybody knows that he doesn't take a salary. I think there might be something amiss with this use of public funds for travel to international destinations, I'm also extremely realistic in knowing that the State of California doesn't have anyone who even comes close to his notoriety.....and when speaking in political terms he might easily be the most admired politician in this country.

A little flag waving promotion by a popular politician from America...in foreign countries....can't possible be a negative thing. And he never seems to put his foot in his mouth.

His traveling to foreign countries probably should be paid for by tax payers....but using a charitable organization does smell a tad bit funny....and the old saying is...if it smells like.....well you know the rest.
