People also spread facts.
The Red Cross is bad news, IMNSHO.
It once was helpful, and some small and distant pockets far removed from leadership and highly paid positions are still able to sometimes actually be helpful to people in distress.
I used to work part time for the organization.
I give to the Salvation Army now.Or directly to people I know to be in need.
I am not fond of partially funding medical care for terrorists with my hard earned money.
The Red Cross will never have another drop of my blood, or another penny from my pocket.
One might as well donate a box of ammunition directly to Al Quida, as give the Red Cross anything.

Disaster Services has nothing to do with the blood side of the Red Cross. TWO different groups totally.

You already have your facts wrong.

It will be the Red Cross over the upcoming weeks that will be taking care of most of these people. That is just the bottom line fact. Whether you like the organization or not...they are still going to be the ones to get the job done.

Speaking of helping, can somebody find out from Fox News what is left of Jackie's home (the lady at the Superdome who was being interviewed on her way in). If it's damaged, maybe FReepers can take up a collection for her and her children.
