Here's a great opportunity to help others!
The Christian Children's Fund's Friends of Children Society has
received a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID) to help the millions of children victimized by the war in
Angola.
For every dollar contributed, USAID will match it with $4.70 (up to
$4,000,000).
That means a personal contribution of merely $10.00 is actualized to
$57.00.
If you wish to contribute, please let me know immediately, as I plan
to send my contribution this week.
You can make a payment to me via PayPal, and I'll
include it in my contribution OR contact CCF directly at:
http://www.ChristianChildrensFund.org
or
1-800-776-6767
The Christian Children's Fund has been helping needy children for more
than 60 years.
Please email me offline if you have any questions.
Regards,
Gary Greenberg

I've gota question for right here: why should ANYONE send you money to pass on
to a charity with YOUR contribution?
My suggestion for anyone wishing to donate is to get in touch with the agency
and make a direction donation.

I'll answer you both right here. Some people do want to make a contribution,
but don't want to become part of a regularly solicited group
of potential donors. And, contacting CCF directly is, more than likely,
going to result in becoming part of their mailing list. For those people,
here's an opportunity to make a differnce without any long-term
commitment.
I'll state that this has nothing to do with my tax deductions.
As a long-time contributor to CCF's programs, I simply saw this as a
way of helping fully use the USAID grant they got.
You'll notice my original post included all of CCF's contact info.
Now, I sincerely DO hope y'all will contact CCF and make a contribution.
In fact, I hope you'll visit their website and learn about all the good
they're doing and the beneficial difference they're making in this world.
Perhaps, just perhaps, you'll even sponsor a child!
And, for the record, I have personally contributed to other people's
contributions on rare occassions when the issue at hand is one which I
thought worth of a one-time donation but wherein I did not want to be
added to a mailing list for solicitations.
Kind regards,
Gary

It's known as sending a money order. Doesn't have to go through anyone but the
charity and there is not address to add to their solicitations.

For the same reasons as in Charlie Wilson's private war:
in the real world, good & evil walk hand in hand.

It seems like you are one of those people that know things the loudest.
If you don't believe what I say I suggest what you check it out. In nam
I had a buddy who went to work for the USAID. He produced propaganda
leaflets for the war effort. When he went home I was recruited to take
his place. I even flew on an Air America to Saigon for an interview with
a Marine Colonel. Fortunately some moron sergeant is usarv screw things
up. Said I didn't have enough experience. I wasn't interested fighting
it. So I came home. What did you do to serve your country.

WTF does that have to do with suggesting your facts might not be factual?
Whether or not he served in the military, when and where, has zip to do with
his questioning what you wrote. If you're so sure it's factual, provide a cite.

I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.

Do you really thing the CIA advertises that it uses American aid to
influence the outcome of political events in foreign countries. I was
there and I know what I was told. I suppose that you would deny that Air
America belongs to the CIA. If you choose not to believe it that is your
problem not mine. Get a life.

It's easy enough to understand how your sergeant decided you didn't have the
experience to write.
