Challange

I have donated $50.00 to the red Cross for hurricane relief. I challange other members to donate whatever they can.

red cross donations

Challenging us might be more effective. But well done. I will do the same.

Sorry, the 50 bucks was suppose to go to spelling lessons but I figured this was more important

Taken in stride....I stand in admiration.

That's an admirable sentiment.

I just donated as well. Good idea.

I don't know about the $50, but I'm going to see if I can't get my unit to send me there to help with the relief efforts.

Done. I donated $200 to the Red Cross this morning.

During the Tsunami, I donated money to WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals).

This time I am donating money to either American Human for Animal care, or United Animal Nations. I have to look into both before I donate later today.

I feel for the people (hell, I lived in Biloxi for a year and have family in New Orleans, Biloxi, and Alabama), but most people overlook the animals!

I feel that.
I spent all day calling and emailing different Animal Rescue places ask about volunteering. I'll even pay to fly to LA/MS/AL to help the animals (and people).

Unfortunately, even though I have some training, because I haven't paid for specific classes those organizations offer, they said I probably won't get called back.

Yes . I was more worried about the animals, to be honest. If I had the money to donate to these I would

Sorry to post so much!

I wanted to ask about this:
Comment: The Red Cross kept half of the 9/11 donation money they received after the attack. They are a Globalist front at the top of the chain and any donations to them are useless. We encourage people to donate to the smaller charities that are infinitely more trustworthy.

Red Cross Pocketed 1/2 of 9/11 Donations.

Does anyone know if this is verified?

That certainly looks like a credible site.

Pshhh.. the reptilian illuminati want you to doubt that site's credibility.

If I had extra money It would probable go to

humanitiary
http://www.citizen.org/

Natural
Union of COncerned Scientists
or
Seirra Club

Don't me wrong I feel for all the misplaced people in the South

But I'm more worried about global food shortage from some virius wipping out a monoculture of corn or potatoes

Or a polical state america from the riots over gas prices... this is nothing people the gas prices are a mountion going to infinitie and we're still on the foothills

sigh

PS the TV lies

I think there are some other threads about this, but if I recall correctly, the dispute was not that the Red Cross was pocketing the money for themselves and buying Ferraris or anything, but that they chose to use a part of it for 9/11 relief, and then hold onto the rest of the money for the other humanitarian efforts that happen like this hurricane in the South.

There was quite an uproar about this from a lot of people though who wanted the money they donated to go toward the crisis they wanted. I'm not sure if there was some official change after that, but I noticed today when I donated on their website, they asked me toward which relief effort I wanted my money to go, so I'm assuming they made some changes over there.

Wow, thanks for rolling your eyes at me.
It was the first site I could find on the subject. I admit I could have dug a little deeper. This site is probably more legit.
CNN

the point of the challenge is to donate. It doesn't matter to me who you donate too. There are millions of people if not tens of millions of people that need help right now, so come on and give a little.
