This explanation would be a reasonable one. Lots of people make decisions during an emotional time that they later realize will not turn out as intended, no matter how well meaning. However, that does not seem to be the case here.
When their paperback came out, the foundation had already been all but closed, yet they continued to claim that the proceeds would go to this charity.
When asked on LKL, THEY did not provide the above explanation that would have satisfied the curious. Patsy went on to say that the foundation had recently donated money to a children's camp.
THEY did not, as usual, tell the truth that they thought it would be wonderful, but given the nature of the foundation and the controversy, it wasn't successful. THEY instead chose to lie once again when they had a wonderful opportunity to tell the truth, especially since the public already knew the answer and now the very people they chose to impress with the foundation can check and see that they are not of the high moral character they try to portray.
Well said Barbara! Maikai doesn't seem to get the point....if you keep bragging on tv, and to increase sales on your book, about a non existant foundation to futher your political ambitions....you are decietful LIARS. Not grieving parents.

Maikai:The motives for the Foundation were purely a grief-stricken parents reaction to the murder of their daughter. Many others have started various foundations for similar reasons. JR answered that question--he wanted to find a way to honor his daughter. No one would listen to him, though, because of the smears put out in the public arena. How could he possibly raise any money for the Foundation?
John doesn't need anyone's help to smear him.....he's doing it fine on his own. Check out the foundations activities....a few token donations over the years to the Ramsey's church, Ramsey's camp.....nearly all donations went to futher the Ramsey's OWN interest. To hell with the others. Even Mark Klass was disgusted with Ramsey.
It was never a true foundation....only a tax write off for the Ramseys.

The voters in Michigan need to be aware of John's track record.
His non-speak on issues.
His fondness for storing old records in a airplane hanger (which coincidentaly houses his OWN plane) and having someone else pay for it.
His grandiouse praise of himself with his schemes....and his unability to carry thru with his plans.
His finely honed ability to disclaim any responsibility for his actions...others did it or made him do it.
His need to raise up to 200,000 dollars just to win the primary...when the previous representative won both primary and election for 15,000 dollars....WHO DO YOU WANT SPENDING YOUR TAX DOLLARS MICHIGAN? AND WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, 'CAUSE IF JOHN DOESN'T LIKE IT, HE'LL HAVE HIS LAWYER SUE YOU.
