"Why did you pick on UPS?"

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-01-31-cover31_N.htm

The author of that story said on C-Span, airing twice today, that UPS was picked on because:
A: They had a large number of fundraisers.
B: They reported everything they did.

Also, he said that Fed Ex has parties too - and is proud of using an obscure exception to not have to report them. They give their house for non-profit use sometimes. Is it because they love charity? No, it's so they don't have to report.

I'm happy UPS plays by the rules. I'm happy they lobby. They deserve to be able to as long as everything is on the up and up. Fed Ex has not been on the up and up with a lot of things - especially since they went into Ground Service. Courts have said so from the East Coast to the West Coast.
