They are afraid it may offend someone.....

Is it just me, or does anybody else find the Red Cross's position offensive?

It is time for a big time campaign to end this nonsense. Who has some ideas? How about a FReep of one of the exec's houses? Let his neighbors know what he is doing. Or, leaflets in the area to let his neighbors know what he is doing. Who has some names of the execs who are making these decisions?

We only get to vote for President once every four years, but we can vote against the Red Cross with our dollars every day. Today I voted against them, and tomorrow I will do so again.

So much so that I will not contribute as much as one penny to them. In addition, I direct some clients' charitable giving and I assure you and them, not a cent to the American Red Cross. They are out of touch with the real America. They sit around in meetings in their lavish conference rooms and ornate offices feathering their own nest and french kissing each others' a$$es while real needs are not being met. They are no longer a charity.

Let's understand that the reason they take these absurd positions is because of who they are. The people who run the Red Cross (and virtually every other charity) are left-wingers who are out of touch with reality. Too bad we can't get more conservatives involved in these organizations. I'm not sure why not. I volunteered to be a board member of Second Harvest Food Bank. They did not make me take an oath, or anything like that. You rub shoulders with a lot of liberals, but get over it! Get involved, and change the way these organizations think.

[Catspaw]

The Red Cross...you mean the same group who forced their former president to quit because she wanted the Israeli version of the Red Cross to join the International Red Cross, but the Israelis were denied because the Islamic chapters of the IRC objected? You mean THAT Red Cross?

Wouldn't give them a penny.

[samtheman]

I have given money to the Red Cross in the past. I will never give money to them again. And I will urge all my friends to likewise abstain.

[good1]

No, I'm with you all the way.

I wonder if the Red Cross cares that I am offended by all instances and occurances of political correctness?

[Gritty]

It's about time this idiot organization changed it's corporate emblem from the red cross to something they understand and agree with,... the Red Star!

As for "not offending" anybody, they have failed. They have offended me, plenty! No more money for these guys. I can easily find some sane organization to contribute to.

My father told me about paying a dollar a pack for cigarettes while laying in the hospital during WWII.

A friend of mine fought in Korea. Ten years later he got a bill from the Red Cross for a sweat shirt he thought they GAVE him. If they don't want to hear the word God, then I suggest they never accept any more money with "In God We Trust" inscribed on it.

[MI_too]

When I received this same e-mail, I fired one off to the American Red Cross which told them how stupid they are to flip the bird at God and the people who hold Him in higher esteem than anything else. I also told them they were never going to get another cent from me. The automatic reply that came back said they were so inundated with mail that it might take a couple of weeks before they could respond to my letter. I hope that every letter they get tells them about the same thing mine did.

[AnnaZ]

Yeah, they stink.

Offensive is putting it mildly.

Maybe they're just trying to purge any sense of Judeo-Christianity so they can merge with the Red Crescent.

60 Minutes and CBS just ripped a new one on the San Diego CA Chapter's president. Seems they tried to make off with 100s of thousands of dollars of donations after last years San Diego area fires with out helping the local victims.

[EternalHope]

Well, it's a good thing they didn't offend the Atheists, and various America haters.

Anybody care to make a donation? ... Anybody? ...

[vaudine]

Know what's worrisome? Eliz. Dole headed the RC for a long time and made some very PC policy statements. not quite as blatantly PC as this mess, now, but pretty darn liberal. And to think she is running for Jesse Helms seat. That is very dissappointing.

What the heck do they think the cross part of their name refers to? Perhaps they should just change their name to Red

[.45MAN]

I find it offensive, however I have issues with the Red Cross that go back to the late 50's. I have never given money or blood to the red cross and never will..

[Texbob]

The Red Cross has stolen so much of the donor's money, they do not want their conscience awaken with the name of God being used. If I was as crooked as their souls are, I would run from God also.

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.
