Wait a Minute… Nobody Told ME that Jointogether.org had Left the Field!

I just popped over to Jointogether.org to see what they had to say about Sam Alito’s nomination, and found this:

THIS IS AN ARCHIVE WEBSITE

This site was last updated May 27, 2005. Although Join Together’s gun violence project has ended, we encourage those interested in the issue to visit the action center and national directory to locate national, state and local organizations working on this important issue. Former subscribers to Join Together’s email news service on gun violence prevention may be interested in similar services from the Freedom States Alliance.

Michael Barnes is leaving the Brady Campaign because of continuous legal setbacks, the Million Moms are losing chapters for lack of interest, Jointogether has ended its “gun violence project,” next thing you know, the Violence Policy Center will be shutting its doors!

(Well, one can hope.)

I can’t help but wonder if Jointogether’s decision to end its gun violence project had any relation to these two stories on their archived page,

Nonprofits Cry Foul Over Government Scrutiny

and

IRS Reports Widespread Tax Abuse among Nonprofits

Y’think? I do have to wonder if the VPC has anything to fear from an audit…
