Grateful Red Cross...

The Red Cross is very grateful for the $117 million donated to them to be used for the victims of hurricane Sandy.
However, there's a problem with these donations being solicited on every TV channel and by well known personalities including President Obama and N. J. Gov. Chris Christie.   We all have a soft spot in our heats and have sent money to the Red Cross because of these pleas.
So far, the only thing that the Red Cross has done for these victims is to send out lunch trucks with sandwiches.   Well, that's nice but where is the rest of the money ???
Remember hurricane Katrina ?   Of the hundreds of millions of dollars donated for that disaster, only 4 cents of every donated dollar was used.
The Red Cross is claiming that 91 cents of every dollar is being used for Sandy victims.   That's an outright lie.
I remember, from my own experience many years ago, at the site of a military plane crash, the Salvation Army was there immediately, giving out sandwiches and coffee, helping clean up rubble, and providing transportation to nearby hospitals.   The Red Cross had a van there and were selling coffee and donuts.   That's when I decided to NEVER give the Red Cross one cent ever...
They (Red Cross) have a sweet deal.   The top earners on their staff get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to "push paper" while most Red Cross workers are unpaid volunteers.
I'm not asking you to not donate; I'm saying that there are more ethical organizations to donate to, such as The Salvation Army, your church or charities that you're more than familiar with.
What I as saying is that you're throwing away your money by giving it to the Red Cross.
