You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain |

 Send to email | Give to the Red Cross in Policy and Politics |  By Thoughts
el 17-Jun-2008 | The Washington Post reports that the Red Cross has fallen on hard times:
The American Red Cross said yesterday that it has depleted its national disaster relief fund and is taking out loans to pay for shelters, food and other relief services across seven Midwestern states battered by floods. The Bush economy and high gas prices have led people to reduce their donations as floods and tornados have swept across the nation. As a result "The disaster relief fund today is completely depleted. The balance is zero," according to Jeffrey Towers, chief development officer for the American Red Cross.
The solution is simple. Go to redcross.org, click on donate, enter your information, and choose a number for your donation. I picked $100 because it was nice and round, but the number you put in there may be different. Some people have fewer resources than I do, and should put in less, others have more, and should give more. But each of you should give something, because they people the Red Cross is trying to help have lost everything. Floods destroyed homes they invested their lives in, and washed away photos, clothes, mementos and everything else they had.
So dig deep, and figure out what you can spare, and give it to the Red Cross. And when you have time, click the button at redcross.org that says "Give Blood," and figure out where your nearest donation center or blood drive is. Giving blood is cheap, it's easy, it can save up to three lives per donation, and it'll make you feel good afterward. Read the comments on this post...
