I am not really sure what to make of this, so Yanoda, if you wouldn't mind interpreting this for me: http://www.aclu.org/american-civil-liberties-union-and-aclu-foundation-what-difference
ACLU Foundation:
- Tax-deductible donation/gift
- Communication of ACLU & Litigation (legal processing)
ACLU:
- Membership
- Non-Tax deductible contributions
- Legislative lobbying
Both Organisations use the donated money to conduct their specific activities.

The aclu wastes time, money, and resources everywhere they go (and they go everywhere).
Please give data verifying your accusation that ACLU solely "wastes time, money and resources".
The FFA may be small and less known, but they still effect people. I showed just one example with the Reality TV show. They also protested against gay rights etc.
Everyone has the right to their opinion.
Both organisations promote their views, they both affect people directly and indirectly, they both have the right to express their views and both use resources, time and money. Both of the organisations do things that seem ridiculous. No apples and oranges there buddy.
