Seeing Red in SoCal: FReepers Take On The [American?] Red Crass (Pics inside!)
3/10/02

Posted on 03/10/2002 1:27:09 PM PST by AnnaZ

Fed up FReepers got together on a flawless (sunny, breezy, warm) SoCal day (as planned: Kids' chance to sing dissolves in discord MY TITLE: Red Cross Double Cross) to let The (American?) Red Crass know how some of us feel about their exclusionary philosophy.
 
(Which, in case you just got out of your Y2K bunker, can be explained even further by following these links):
**UPDATE** Red Cross BANS Declaration of Independence and God Bless the USA
Red Cross nixes 'God' from 9-11 program [also Call for Boycott]
News Release: American Red Cross Statement Regarding Orange County High School Music Program

 
FReepers BadJoe and WillaJohns provided signs and refreshments and FReeper seenenuf gave up five years of lurking to finally sign up, log on and join us.
 
We were photographed and interviewed by the Orange County Register, and received pretty decent support from people entering the Hyatt parking lot. (Okay, and one guy who yelled at us to "get a G*dd@#^ life.)
 
As a bonus, when we were leaving, we met a man approaching with his own sign, a man who had called around and found out on his own where these people could be protested. A FReeper in the making! Love the self-motivation.

Please don't use "American" when describing the Red Cross.

Cool. Gotta love it! Freepers ARE the best!

Can't wait to call my local chapter tomorrow (and I'm a good friend of the director) to get her take. Don't know if this came down from their national or just an idiot liberal leaning chapter.

It started at the local level, but the National office sent out a press release that supported the Orange County Chapter.

Another poster said the national sent out a press release supporting the local but the national website is plastered with patriotism.

I can't believe I missed this in my own backyard. Thank you for standing tall against the PC machine. This one is truly outrageous and has NO defense. The Declaration of Independence may offend someone? "God Bless America" may offend someone? Too friggin bad!!!
