Thanks Chris. I saw that in the Washington Post earlier this week. The Sure Foundation is awfully suspicious. It was founded and funded by military contractor Stephen Wade and his MZM Inc.
William Bennett of the North County Times reported on 6/17/2005 that Cunningham's subcommittee authorized a $100,000 grant to The Sure Foundation. See

Also, "The Sure Foundation" religious objectives are made more clear with an obvious reference to the popular Christian hymnal Christ is Made the Sure Foundation.
While the Christian charity appears to be legitimite, it certainly shows another tie between Cunningham and Wade, and possibly others.
It's interesting that The Sure Foundation webpage http://www.the-sure-foundation.org/ used to have a PDF newsletter with pictures of Wade and the Cunninghams at a party, but it has mysteriously disappeared from the website (June 2005).
Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
1. Christ is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the Head and Cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's Help forever,
And her Confidence alone.
2. To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, today!
With Thy faithful lovingkindness
Hear Thy people as they pray.
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
3. Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain;
What they gain from Thee forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.
4. Laud and honor to the Father,
laud and honor to the Son,
laud and honor to the Spirit,
ever three and ever one;
one in might and one in glory,
while unending ages run.
Text: Unknown, 7th Century; translated from Latin by John Mason Neale, 1851.
