Wrong. Elisabeth the b!tch (she does not and never will deserve a last name other than that) had landed the position as head of the Red Cross in the mid-nineties. From which lofty position she was extracting a heavy amount of graft money.

After the Oklahoma City bombing, people from the local area began to pour gifts of food, clothing, household goods, even some cars upon the families of the victims.

Elisabeth’s Red Cross ran an add urging people to stop sending things directly to the families, and give to the Red Cross, which would then handle distribution. They then sold everything and put the money in their general fund.

When this came to light, Oklahomans were naturally incensed, Elisabeth was defiant, and Bob Dole refused to comment. When Bob later ran for president, people in the plains states made sure this was not forgotten.

you raise a good point if not a tangent.

NEVER donate to the red cross. They do not give direct support.

They have their red cross vests for photo ops and after every disaster they beg for money to go to their general fund.
