Patrick- I think you are on to something here I posted at LGF some thoughts on the subject

LGF friend Patrick Poole shines a bright beam of light on CAIR.

Fact 1- CAIR has less than 2700 dues paying members down almost 50% in a year!

Fact 2- This means CAIR's core support from its own constituents is way down. Either they don't represent the people they claim to represent or their target community disagrees with what they are doing.

POINT 1- With such a small membership, and CAIR is such a BIG organization (it seems to have as many employees as members!) WHERE DO THEY GET THEIR MONEY? If the members are not not supporting these characters, who is?

POINT 2- Follow the money and count noses- it is almost humanly impossible for CAIR to be as active as they are without a lot more money than they are claiming to have. They have about 40 offices all over the country plus their DC office. Offices require two things- a building and people to staff them.

Assuming an average $20,000 in rent for each non DC office and at least 2 $30000 staffers, upi have a budget of $3.2 million not counting phones, computers, printing, legal etc. Their budget would not be out of place for just their DC based advocacy operations.

Is CAIR committing fraud in its filings to the US government? On the face of these facts and their own admissions, one would be inclined to at least question how much money they are actually taking in and how much they are spending.

I have been around non-profit organizations all my life and can state with certainty that CAIR's report looks false on its face.
