My cobweds tell me I have heard a short blip on this. Something to do with the way they do accounting and distribution.<br />Guess I'll check back in on this and maybe learn a little also.

I'm not saying that you are wrong, but before I believe that I shure would like to see some proof or credible evidence. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if something is posted as fact, I would like to see it, or tell me where I can confirm those numbers.

Hmmmm. I wonder where the money came from for all of the relief work they (Red Cross) have been doing in the tsunami area for the last year.<br /><br />About the CBC, I don't know, but I suspect both claims are mean spirited creative accounting.

I DO NOT contribute, anymore, to large org's like the Red Cross, United Way, etc.<br /><br />I contribute to smaller org's that disclose their dispersals and are far more accountable.

I'm kind of like you on this one DJ<br />I used to always give everything to the GoodWill because they used to (and might still) train the handicapped and hire older people who might not be able to get a job somewhere else.<br /><br />Got my bubble busted in the early 80's<br />Found out the guy in charge of the Tacoma Store (a dump) had a salary over $100,000 a year! <br /><br />I'm not saying the guy might not be earning it. But I'd rather give to places where there is not so much overhead.<br /><br />I'll check this post later to see if anyone answers to the orginal question to the red cross problem.<br /><br />my .02

Re: Whats up withe red cross and the congressional black caucaus

I have not donated any money to the Red Cross since grammer school, over 100,000 miles ago. I have NEVER donated to the United Way, due to them giving money to some anti-establishment, left wing organization's in San Franwako.<br /><br />My favorite charity is the Salvation Army, to whom I give the most, year round. I also donate to the DAV, (Disabled American Veteran's), Crippled Children and Disabled Vet's, thru My Elk's lodge and the NRA. I also donate to the Boy Scout's and Girl Scout's, during their fund drive's and to Right Wing politicians.<br /><br />...Bob in Calif... Still stuck on the leftist coast.
