Have you been solicited for donations every year by the Paralyzed Veterans of America?

We are solicited for donations every year by the Paralyzed Veterans of America. This year, I finally got around to checking them out on Charity Navigator. Below, I've briefed-down the info I found, but the bottom line is -- no more contributions from me. Fully two-thirds of their income goes for fundraising and administration. While I believe some veterans may have derived benefits from PVA's work, many, many charitable organizations out there run a much more efficient, effective operation.
(Starting up a non-profit like this one is a great way to guarantee a cushy job and good income for life.)

I looked up Paralyzed Veterans of America on Charity Navigator. They scored a miserable NO Stars = EXCEPTIONALLY POOR rating ("Performs far below industry standards and below nearly all charities in its Cause.") After going through the analysis, I decided to send PVA a thank-you note for the free address labels.....period.
Here are a few measurements I picked out of the lengthy report.
