According to a confidential memo obtained by the Washington Post, the Salvation Army has agreed to spend between $88,000 and $110,000 a month lobbying in favor of George W. Bush's so-called "charitable choice" initiatives. In exchange, according to the Post report, the White House will issue a federal guideline - thus bypassing Congress - that will override local and state nondiscrimination ordinances and will allow taxpayer-funded religious organizations to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.
