Don't give to RED CROSS. 80% of the money goes to administration. Less than 20% goes to relief. Give to Salvation Army or World Vision.

George Bush is the honorary chairman of the American Red Cross.

He has been behind Red Cross initiatives to have each child give a dollar for the children in Afghanistan.

If it's good enough for George Bush, it's good enough for me. They really need the Red Cross there because of the need for blood. In America, the Red Cross meets half our need for blood.

When you make a serious accusation like that, be prepared to substantiate it.

Salvation ARmy has already stated they are going to stay there until absolutely no further need for their presence... they said when the cameras and most others leave they will still be there. Give to them not IRC or ARC. (IMO)

I just a while ago sent our donation to the Salvation Army. They aren't publicized as much as the Red Cross, but from their website, it appears that they are on the scene with aid right now.

Ever since OReilly blew the lid off of them, I wouldn't donate through them either.
