As you are rushing to close to quarter
and to send more donations to your candidate(s), won't you send a matching amount to your local food bank or homeless shelter? Or even the local chapter of the Red Cross?

Please?

1. I always donate to food bank. Not to Red Cross.

2. Yes, I did not donate to the Red Cross
last year, after their scandals. However there were several local fires here in apartment buildings where people escaped literally with only the clothes on their back. And it was the local chapter of the Red Cross that provided for them. So I donated last month.

4. I give blood to the Red Cross
Blood is something money can't buy, and a person can donate every 56 days.

5. I've never given a thing to the Red Cross nor will I.
The bastards were selling donuts at firebases in Nam. No $$$, no donut.

I do however, support many causes up here in my neck of the woods. Project Bread, Rosie's Place, MS Society, the Veterans Sheleter, etc.

Never again to a mega cause like the Red Cross.
