MAKE IT COUNT!...JJ

As you open your pockets to give, please keep these facts in mind:

· The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans salary for the year was $651,957 plus expenses

· The United Way President Brian Gallagher receives a $375,000 base salary along with numerous expense benefits.

· UNICEF CEO Caryl M. Stern receives $1,200,000 per year (100k per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS ROYCE. (Less than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the cause.)

GO "GREEN" INSTEAD AND PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE IT WILL DO THE MOST GOOD:

· The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a small salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization. 96 percent of donated dollars go to the cause.

· The American Legion National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

· The Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their
families and youth!

· The Disabled American Veterans National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

· The Military Order of Purple Hearts National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

· The Vietnam Veterans Association National Commander receives a $0.00 zero salary. Your donations go to help Veterans and their families and youth!

Please...pass this on if you wish... God Bless America and Our Fighting Hero's Past and Present...

Thanks for posting JJ.

I will keep my coments to myself except that I am a Vietnam vet and a disabled American.

PREACH IT JJ! I appreciate you sayin' it. I'm sending it out to all my network too!

Any animal charity would appreciate any donations of old sheets, blankets, towels, along with food, $$, etc.

Jimmy, thank you for the VERY informative thread--lets keep it home on US soil, and to those who gave their all for this US soil..

God bless and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

We donate at the local Albertsons that matches and gives it to Camp Pendleton Marines. Our group of friends adopts a family for Christmas.

Thanks Jimmy

Thanks JJ. I choose my charities very carefully because of things you have mentioned.

Even when giving to the Boy Scouts of America, I give to my local troop.

Good luck and good smoking.
