Do you wish to be sure more American's get your message?

Copy
Print multiple stickers.
Apply liberally at appropriate locations (near whereever requests to "give more" are made)
Disapproval needs to be demonstrated or nothing will change.

In future, when you look up "insular" in the Old Patriot's Dictionary and you find "leadership of the American Red Cross" it will mean we have failed to try hard enough to drive the vermin out of our institutions.

Let them hear from you. I just let the Red Cross know they will never get another cent from me or minute of volunteer time. My time and money will go to support the Salvation Army, which is not offended by God or prayer.

"...And, for what?..."

Partially for fundraising, according to the board member interviewed---apparently, if they raise a lot of money, they get to keep it.

The board member said they were "not going to get rid of her."

The reason it is called red CROSS, is because it was started by Christians. The last time I looked it up, I found that Christians believe in God. So what is the red cross's problem? As a matter of facts Moslems are offended by the symbol of red cross, so they went and called theirs a red crescent!

It is too bad that such a wonderful organization as the red cross can get corrupted by stupid management.

Dole is from Kansas. She was originally from NC.

So she's running for the Senate representing SC?
A Republican "Hillary".

A group of Orange County high school singers was recently told by the Orange County Red Cross that they could not say “God” or “prayer in their songs, which were supposed to be performed to honor those who were murdered on Sep. 11. As a result, their brave Group Director, Cherilyn Bacon, has withdrawn the group of students, who hail from the Orange County High School of the Arts, from the program. Ms. Bacon’s own school administrators are now attacking her, as you will read in the article below.

Please take a moment to read the article and if you feel moved to do so, please email your comments to the O.C. Red Cross at PublicAffairs@oc-redcross.org. You may also let the Orange County High School of the Arts know that you support Ms. Bacon by registering your thoughts at their web site, at http://www.ocsarts.net/, just go to the link “Request Information,” which is found by clicking the “Contact Us” link, which appears on the left side of the Home Page.
You may also call the school’s principal at 714-560-0900, ext. 6140. Letters may be faxed to 714-664-0462. In my opinion, the Orange County Red Cross is abridging the Constitutional Right to Free Speech by telling the students that they cannot mention “God” or “Prayer” in their songs. This incident may also be categorized as an attack on religious freedom and it certainly seems to be a restriction on artistic expression.
we need to stand up on behalf of Ms. Bacon, before the school administrators take further action against her. Please take the time to make a difference! – Art Pedroza, Jr., Santa Ana, CA Kids' chance to sing dissolves in discord
A student group bows out of a Red Cross show rather than drop 'god' and 'prayer' from their songs.

The above is a partial e-mail I received. Just wantd to share it. Due to length I did not post in its entirety.

In my days of national service, the unAmerican Red Cross used to loan GI's cash for transportation in the event of a family emergency. Many times the request for payment in full reached the serviceman's comand before he could return to duty.

My father passed away a week after the attacks. In his obituary, we asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Red Cross. I wish I could get those donations back now. My father's memory deserves better than this.

So sorry about your father.
Don't worry about your gifts
You did the right thing at the time.
The Lord looks upon the heart.

Sorry about the NC/SC. I sometimes get them backwards. Whichever Carolina she's running to represent is her orig. home.
