Open Letter to Vicki Ryder re: Metro Justice Finances and Anti-War Storefront

Vicki,

I wasn't trying to be rude.

Here's the facts as I see them:

Metro Justice's tax return for 2005 lists the
following (I've attached the tax return for your
benefit):

For its publications (including the newsletters) and educational events MJ spent $28,301

Speakouts, rallies, buses to and from NYC and DC all to promote peace, MJ spent $20,084

Metro Justice recieved $385,984 in revenue for 2005 and spent $204,768 in 2005. Metro Justice had an excess of $181,216 in 2005.

It stands to reason, that Metro Justice had an even greater excess for 2006, with the seemingly confirmed rumors of the large bequest of an unspecified amount.

Since Metro Justice already pays for a lot of other peace & education activities and clearly has "money to burn" why wouldn't Metro Justice pay for the Anti-War Storefront that's a part of MJ?

That's what I don't understand. Please explain.

Yours truly,

Andrew S.
