Serve with the American Red Cross!

I sure some of you have viewed the email going around about the Jena 6 and how the Red Cross went down there and set up tents and gave out water to the protesters. I do think the Red Cross has a political agenda and before you give you should check them out and find out just where it is you money is going. I will not donate to them so I choose Shriners which is a very good cause.

Hey Isaac, Check out the Salvation Armys' Ledger it's completely different. This group means business when it comes to helping folks.

I could not agree more. Very good post. The Salvation Army helps people that are down on there luck and has them ringing bells for there money. They use their money for the people.
I will add that I go to Life Share and give blood about four times a year. It is a very good cause along with Shriners Hospital that I support with donations.

Funny that the Red Cross did not come back with a reply and yes just what in the heck were they doing in Jena?????????? I don't recall a natural disaster being declared down there. Those fools CHOSE to be there. If they weren't prepared, so be it...suffer the consequences.

Maybe because it's so obvious that it doesn't require a response.

>I don't recall a natural disaster being declared down there.

A state of emergency was declared by local/parish law enforcement, and the State of Louisiana asked the Red Cross to provide first aid and humanitarian relief so that medical emergencies (for which the town was completely unprepared) would be less likely.

>Those fools CHOSE to be there. If they weren't prepared, so be it...suffer the consequences.

"They weren't prepared, let them suffer" is a direct violation of the charter/mission of the American Red Cross. The whole point of that organization is to help people that are in situations where help is not readily available. How is this any different than showing up after Katrina? Those people chose to be there, too.

Those people did not choose to have a hurricane come through or the levy break down, however these jobless protesters DID choose to get on a bus and create a situation that required responsible people to stop what they were doing and take care of these idiots.

No, they chose to be where they knew that was likely, same as the Jena protesters chose to be where they knew it was likely that local resources would be inadequate.
