They seems to be doing that a lot lately
Sorry Red Cross .. you lose .. 3 Strikes and You're Outta Here
Well they aren't gonna make money off my blood anymore
I donate free and I'll find a Hospital that will take it for free
BTW .. did I mention I have the rare kind of blood the RC is always looks for
At the time I just didn't believe it, but I have learned a lot in the last thirty years.
Amen. The Salvation Army--or the Bay area part of it--got squishy for a few weeks last year, but the national leadership fixed the problem promptly and completely. The Salvation Army is my favorite charity.
LOL ... Well now I feel stupid .. maybe I need more coffee
Thanks

Pledge of Allegiance?
God Bless America?
VERBOTEN!
:
Don't forget the whole name of the organization:
RED CROSS/RED CRESCENT
Donations help fund organizations like the Palestinian Red Crescent Society,
which cranks out propaganda like this:
Israeli Army Shoots at Innocent Pregnant Women & Children
Isn't it comforting to know that the selfless contributions
of well-meaning Americans are going to support these "Red Crescent Societies"?

AMERICAN RED CROSS APOLOGIZES FOR CENSORING RELIGIOUS SPEECH
In a news release March 11, the Catholic League pledged to contact the leaders of over 100 organizations asking them to join us in dropping all support for the American Red Cross. We did just thatwe faxed all of the organizations on our list. And also we contacted the Red Cross.
Our complaint centered on the decision of the headquarters of the American Red Cross to defend its Orange County (CA) chapter in prohibiting students from Orange County High School of the Arts from singing God Bless America and America the Beautiful at a Red Cross luncheon this past Sunday. The Red Cross opposed the songs citing its sensitivity to religious diversity and its preference for a music program that would be inclusive and not offend different populations participating in this particular event.
Yesterday evening, the American Red Cross issued a statement saying the judgements we made in this case in applying our principles clearly offended some in our community. It mentioned that it is important to use reasonable judgement in applying principles to the everyday circumstances we confront. The news release continued saying the judgement we made to exclude certain songs from the Sunday program was a mistake. It then apologized for its decision.
Catholic League president William Donohue remarked as follows:
We are delighted that reasonableness prevailed at the American Red Cross and we have no interest in continuing our campaign to discredit the organization. While we accept the apology we do not buy the line that this was a mistake. No, it was a calculated decision designed to punish religious speech. The statement, therefore, is intellectually dishonest. But the bottom line is they got the message. One more point. We expect the organization will soon change its name: any group that has Cross in its name is clearly being insensitive to religious diversity.
They don't need a message they need to be replaced. There have been too many times since 9.11 that they have showed very poor judgement. If it hadn't been for Bill O'Reilly and others they would still be going along their merry, staid, self satisfied way and people needing help wouldn't be getting it.
Do away with them except maybe for the blood collecting etc but then can they be trusted with that? Don't think so.
Hey Red Cross: "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200."
High Church agreement.
