They cancelled out on her [Drudgereport] but jesus, 15 grand? This from an organization thats supposed to be helping people that are "down on their luck"? The people that run this must be living well from all the donations.

This kind of crap pisses me off. And Patti Davis no less. WTF has she ever done to deserve a paycheck like that? Shit, I'll do it for ten.

"Professional speakers" who headline fundraising events have fees.

I can't fault her on that.

What I do fault her on is promoting the myth of embryonic stem cells.  All of the positive results in research have come from adult and umbilical cord stem cells.  Tests with embryonic stem cells have yielded zero results.  Maybe that's our Creator's way of telling us something, like we shouldn't go down that path.

And what qualifies her as a professional speaker? Her "tell all" book about her family? Is she a scholar, a journalist, anything? Being the daughter of an ex president automatically gualifies you for fifteen thousand dollar speaking engagements? With the Salvation Army no less?

Its a joke and a ripoff.
