AIDS DOLLARS MISUSED

Kathleen Parker ignored the basics in her May 5 on-line column 
blasting Dr. James Dobson for his stand against massive taxpayer 
spending for The Global Fund. The Global Fund controversy is over how 
billions of dollars will be misused in the fight against global AIDS. 
The truth is that President Bush has adopted the Ugandan strategy of 
A (abstinence), B (be faithful) and C (condoms) to lower HIV rates as 
the U.S. strategy. Look at the research: Between 1990 and 2002, the 
prevalence rate of HIV in Uganda in major urban areas plummeted from 
31 percent to 6.5 percent. The ABC model is the only strategy that 
has effectively combated AIDS in a general population. Another truth: 
Once U.S. money leaves our government's hands, taxpayers must expect 
absolutely no accountability for how their money is spent. The Fund 
has and will continue to finance the efforts of liberals, such as 
George Soros, to legalize prostitution, legalize drug use and sponsor 
Advertisementhuge dancing condoms that "educate" small children. 
Soros' organizations have already been awarded more than $80 million 
by the Fund. Enough! Dr. Dobson strongly supports the fight against 
AIDS, but when American money is being hijacked to fund the 
destructive agenda of radical liberals to legalize prostitution and 
drug use, you better believe he'll speak up.
