I realize you're on the "have-not" side of the digital divide, and you won't have access to read this, but I still felt a need to apologize someplace, so maybe this will 'trickle down' to you.
I won't be giving any more handouts on the street this year. I simply can't afford it.
I gave $2346 in handounts in 2005, as near as I can figure it, and it turns out i was supposed to give the money, not to you, hungry citizens, but to charitable organizations such as:
2002 US Figure Skating Championships Inc.
22nd Bomb Squadron Association
Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose Inc.
Advanced Tennis Research Project
Donnie Moore Ministries Inc.
Flaslight Productions (yes, i realize they spelled that wrong)
Grand Council of the Iloilo Circle
Human Potential Research Institute
Life in Him Ministries
Nigerian Association of Central California
Research Institute for Buddhalogy Light and Color Energy Incorporate
Stockton Mavericks Inc.
Uss Ranger Museum Foundation
by giving you money to eat, I have to pay another $986 in taxes, rather than getting a $282 refund.
For the rest of the year, I will keep a list of these organizations, and when you need a cup of coffee or something to eat, feel free to call them; I am willing to loan my cell phone or arrange for a pay phone to be used. I'm sure they can and will serve your immediate needs as well as $4 would.
Yours,
Taco Rubio
