I have started a collection of relief funds in my company. Ten minutes after I e-mailed all employees, they have already contributed $250.00. When the prez gets in I'm sure he'll have the company match the employee funds. I'll split between the Salvation Army and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief...make it $400.00. I just got another $150.00.
"Southern Baptist Disaster Relief..."
I vote for Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Wasn't it the Salvation Army and the Red Cross after 9-11 who had money "distribution" problems? The Red Cross uses its position to be a monopoly at disaster sites to sell stuff that is donated to them. They even charged the rescue workers for the coffee at their relief stands. They simply setup shop and sell, sell, sell. The Red Cross is by far a for-profit entity.
