多年来，海外关心民运的人们对美国国家民主基金会的钱的去处有着各种各样的猜疑和传闻。在中共对海外渗透和收买到了无所不在的地步的今天，一些华裔也开始质疑中共对美国民主基金会的企图，各种传闻也相继而来。我最近收到的一个电邮直指中共渗透：“世界上没有任何一个国家能想出如此诡计，挥霍纳税人血汗钱作渗透费，收买曾经的反对派里外通吃，去聚敛西方支持中国民主运动的经费和各种资源，对极权专制真正的敌手孤立残害、釜底抽薪，让不明真相的国民在被延长的黑暗和苦难中再次拥戴奸雄，欢呼雀跃。史上最盛大的假面舞会正在最聪明的华人中上演。”
我们一些人可能没有意识到，美国民主基金会的钱是我们美国纳税人的钱，我们美国纳税人有权利监督他们如何花钱。我们也有权利监督那些被美国民主基金会资助的组织、机构或个人，我们也有权利要求像中国独立笔会这样的拿美国民主基金会钱的组织公开他们的财政年度报表。遗憾的是，这些花着我们美国纳税人钱的中国人不懂他们应该被我们监督，而我们这些美籍华人也不懂自己的监督权利，所以才有对美国民主基金会的资金去处的各种传闻，而不是直接向美国民主基金会当面质疑。
其实，这些钱的去处都是公开的，美国民主基金会有义务提供我们想知道的信息。我们自己也可以去美国民主基金会的网站查找：www.ned.org .
美国民主基金会（The National Endowment for Democracy）于1983年注册登记成立，始于当时里根总统提出要美国研究和推动海外民主发展，后经美国政治基金会建议成立一个跨党派的非盈利组织，并由美国国会每年拨款一亿美元，用以资助海外八十多个国家的民主化事业。这些款项均来自于美国纳税人。
到2007年，在成立十四年后，美国国家民主基金会资助亚洲各国（包括中国、缅甸、巴基斯坦、朝鲜、印尼、菲律宾、马来西亚、东帝汶、斯里兰卡 、尼泊尔、泰国、孟加拉国、越南、柬埔寨、印度等国）的金额共计2201.938万美元，其中资助中国大陆民主运动共611.0531万美元，占亚洲总额的27.75%。大陆、香港、藏运、疆运各获477.4733万、36.9983万、44.4710万、52.1105万美元。
美国国家民主基金会的成员中有数位是国会议员。现时美国民主基金会董事长理查‧杰法特（Richard Gephardt），是美国众议院少数派前领袖，专长经济问题和外交事务；执行主席卡尔‧杰什曼（Carl Gershman），是美国前众议员。基金会董事会包括现任参议员、众议员、商界高层及学者等。
二0一0年十一月二十三日（在我完成这篇文章的当天），美国之音《时事大家谈》的专题节目《美国国家民主基金会及其运作》专访了美国国家民主基金会副总裁路易莎.格雷夫（Louisa Greve），这位副总裁介绍基金会时说到：美国国家民主基金会不支持革命，对国家解体不感兴趣。支持用劝说方式在政体体制中实行变化，追求民主目标的组织。

我相信，美国国家民主基金会对中共的态度是与美国国会的态度一致的。
这二十年来，美国政府更关心它能以最小的代价在中国获取最大的经济利益，更关心中国能稳定地向它提供廉价产品。正如媒体人格兰.贝克（Glenn Beck）在他二00九年出版的新书《常识》所言，贪婪使美国偏离了美国先贤们建立的根本理念。
这二十年来，我们已经清楚地看到，贪婪使美国忘记了美国为人权和自由而战的光荣历史，偏离了人权高于一切的根本理念。
不可避免地，美国民主基金会在资助中国民主事业的同时也豢养了一些专吃民运饭的投机者。这些投机的“民运精英”精明地领悟了美国民主基金会的“温和”宗旨，他们建立网站和组织以申请美国民主基金会的项目资金，玩的是与中共极权打不痛不痒的花拳绣腿和暗通款曲。从骂“中共六亲不认、油盐酱醋不吃”，一百八十度转弯到提倡大爱的“无敌派”，都可以看到这些专吃民运饭的海外“民运精英”的堕落和投机的影子。
美国国家民主基金会对中国大陆民运的资助涵盖着流亡欧美的大陆民运团体与大陆内各地卓有成效的“非政府组织”（NGO）。十年前，第一批受惠者有：中国战略研究所（王军涛、王希哲）、中国观察（卢四清）、中国劳工通讯（韩东方）、香港职工会联盟（刘千石）、中国人权（方励之、苏晓康、刘青）、民主中国（苏晓康）、二十一世纪中国基金会（刘凯申、张伟国）、中国之春（王炳章）、全美学自联、新闻自由导报（王军涛、吴仁华）、倾向季刊与今天文学季刊（贝岭、北岛）、北京之春（胡平）、华夏文摘（熊波）、劳改基金会（吴弘达）、大参考（李洪宽）、中国民主党、纵览中国、普林斯顿中国学社（刘宾雁）、当代中国（赵穗生、黎安友）以及八个藏运组织。
美国民主基金会资助劳联产联的资金份额相当可观。劳联产联是成立于一八八六年的美国劳工联合会在一九五五年与美国产业工会联合会合并而改名形成，它下设三个专责机构：美国国际劳工团结中心、国际劳工通讯协会、美国研究所。这些下属机构也拨款给中国人组织，比如美国国际劳工团结中心。
下面是民主基金会网站公佈的二○○九年的资助名单中的中国的资助部分：
一、法治与公众参与(Rule of Law and Public Participation，获年资助$458,660)，支持中国境内的各类教育、研究、政策分析以及法援专案。

八、普林斯顿中国学社（Princeton China Initiative，有多个项目，林培瑞、陈奎德、蔡楚等各掌管不同项目），为大陆网民设立表达意见的平台，出版网刊《纵览中国》（陈奎德主管）和《参与》（蔡楚主管），此学社获多项资金总共数额近六十五万美元（详见下面英文原版）。

十四、独立中文笔会（Independent Chinese PEN Centre, Inc. 获年资助 $152,950）。

十七、赛勒拉可公司（Celeluck），出版《开放》杂志，每年获10万美元资助达四年之久，在2009年財政年度中，美国民主基金会已取消对其资助，原因是效绩差、销量少。
十八、对华援助协会(China Aid Association，获年资助$75,000 傅希秋牧师主管），宗旨是促进中国宗教信仰自由，出版有关监察中国法律与宗教现状的半年刊，揭露教徒的人权遭受蹂躏的个案。

廿三、国家民主研究所（National Democratic Institute (NDI)，获年资助$141,830）1983年成立，在全球109个国家或地区（包括中国、香港、台湾）设有办事处，总部在华盛顿特区，董事会主席是美国前驻联合国大使奥尔布赖特。该机构致力于在全球范围内支持与加强公民参与，以建立公民参与、公开问责民主政府。

廿五、魏京生基金会（Wei Jingsheng Foundation，Inc.，获年资助 $54,300**），以互联网联络中外记者，促使国际社会了解中国劳工权益的现况。
NED对香港民运人士的资助仅三个项目。
一、美国国际劳工团结中心（韩东方），以保障中国与香港的劳工权益为宗旨，设有中、英文网站，还在自由亚洲电台设立《劳工通讯》节目，每周对大陆广播两次。建立中国独立工运团结基金，救济、抚恤受迫害的独立工运人士及其家属子女。获年资助12.5456万美元。

另外，美国国务院民主人权和劳工局也自一九九八年开始资助中国项目。
*星号表示该项资助出自美国国务院而非民主基金会。在美国国际劳工团结中心总数中有30，272美元出自美国国务院。
**第二十一至二十五项为2009年新增项目。
美国国家民主基金会这块肥肉使海外中国民运专业户垂涎欲滴，他们以各种方式分得一杯羹。当你听说某位民运人士以不同机构名义得到美国民主基金会资助，每月支取数千到一万美元的薪水时，你不要只把它当成一个新闻。
一些海外民运人士经过二十年的经营到今日已经逐渐蜕变成享受项目资金的人士，他们大多放弃了当年让中共下台建立民主制度的初衷，而蜕变成无敌合作派。他们既吃透了美国国家民主基金会的用意，又摸透了中共绝不会放弃权力的本性，却还在摇着民运大旗，玩着“劝说”的把戏，沾着我们纳税人钱的实惠，又戴着中国民运精英的光环，其所作所为对中国民主运动到底有何裨益，他们心知肚明。这值得关心中国民主前途的人们的深思。
