Shriners To Close Galveston Hospital, Sued by UTMB A top Shriner leader has recently admitted that their endowment has been losing $1 million a day since 2001. Why are leaders just now announcing that the charity is in such serous financial trouble that they need to close five hospitals after apparently failing to solve this problem for the past eight years? Is it really the economy or could this be the result of decades of cororate mismanagement, deception and negligence?

Here's a Solution for this Resolution HResolution 33 recognizes and honors Freemasons for their contributions. But, a few things were left out.. How the Masonic founding fathers and military leaders felt about Native Americans (code word: Genocide)? Why membership rules in 12 southern Grand Lodges still discriminate against blacks? The solution? Congress should urge the IRS to pull these groups' non profit status until they comply with the laws of the land.
