I am not sure I get your point.  Working Assets was  once owned by a fellow I remotely knew who I did a little work for many years ago.  I believe it was at one point bought out by the woman who started Soho Soda.  As far as I know it is legit.

The point is the mailing I received was so full of leftist propaganda it was almost joke like... Going to the two sites and seeing the list of groups they fund was enough to make anyone with half a brain totally sick... The causes supported are the ones at the root of most of the evil in todays society...Thanks for telling me about Soho Soda thats another company that needs boycotting.

The guy I knew Jerry Dotson was a big proponent of socially responsible investing (left wing investing).  He wasn't that bad, he was not anti Israel.

Left wing being the key word!
