When is a picture NOT worth a thousand words[?]... when the president of One Cause turns his head from purely factual recorded evidence that his BHO is stealing commissions from merchants as well as other affiliates, AND flatly denies it with lame retort.

We need someone to write a "grassroots viral message" that is aimed at the consumer. Something that gets passed around, Facebooked, and ends up on the news like the Motrin commercial last week.

Let's ask our friends if they would help a crook shoplift from their favorite store and then use the profit to donate a nickel to the red kettle outside the door.

Merchants, why do you continue to do business with this company? Affiliates, why do you continue to promote merchants who do business with this company? Whose sticky fingers are in YOUR wallet?

Thank you for exposing this. This is theft, pure and simple. Theft from hard working affiliates and theft from merchants when this "cause" didn't actually do anything to generate a sale. This entire charade is undone by the videos presented by an unpaid interested third party - who debunks the lies told by the fox that owns the henhouse.
