"POW FOIA Litigation"
Tax Return for 2000
Cash position improves
The front page of Roger Hall's IRS Form 990 for tax year 2000 (October 1999 - September 2000) is displayed below. Note the entries on Line 22 - - Cash, savings, and investments:
- Beginning of year: $17,487
- End of year: $30,226
Thus, the cash, savings, and investments of the "POW FOIA Litigation" project increased by $12,739 in one year. Not bad for an organization that is constantly complaining on the "MIA activist" websites that they are about to run out of money.

Accuracy in Media $2,500.00 Task Force Omega of KY $1,250.00 Lima Area MIA-POW $1,000.00 JW Laeufer $1,324.00 Chained Eagles of Ohio $1,118.00
Other Expenses

Let's examine some figures on this form
As pointed out above, the cash position of the organization increased from $17,487 at the beginning of the year to $30,226 at the end of the year -- and increase of $12,739 -- a 72 percent increase. I wish I could increase my cash position by 72 percent a year.
Note that donations were $26,047. The $12,739 increase in the cash position represents 49 percent of the donations. I thought donations were supposed to fund operations, not increase the organization's bank account.
But wait -- it gets better -- check out the figures for 2001.
