I respectfully ask that you read and respond to the following call to action from Cheryl Ford, RN.

 

With the course of Hurricane Charley, a good many Floridians have lost homes, family, body and soul.  Ms. Ford and I (on her initiative) will attempt to get much needed supplies to some of the thousands who have been left homeless by this event. If you can assist in any way, your help is tremendously appreciated.

 

If you are outside of Florida or unable to donate goods, we encourage you to contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the Missions of St. Vincent de Paul for information on donating blood or making financial contributions that can help people get back on their feet again.

 

For those who would like to contribute goods, a comprehensive list of much needed items follows. Packaging and marking your donated goods will ensure proper handling and quick distribution to the people who badly need them.

 

I realize that we are all taxed. But our neighbors to the south are in need of the kind of help that we may all be in need of some time soon. If you can help, please consider doing so. If you have friends in Florida, I respectfully ask that you circulate this email to them as well.

Gordon: OK, "phenn." I shall.

 

Notice of drop-off locations will be emailed within the next day. Thank you for your kindness.

 

Inquiries are welcomed to fight4terri@aol.com and phenn@zimp.org.

Get Truth.

"First, they [Nazis] came for the Jews. I was silent. I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists. I was silent. I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists. I was silent. I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me. There was no one left to speak for me." (Martin Niemoller, given credit for a quotation in The Harper Religious and Inspirational Quotation Companion, ed. Margaret Pepper (New York: Harper &Row, 1989), 429 -as cited on page 44, note 17, of Religious Cleansing in the American Republic, by Keith A. Fornier, Copyright 1993, by Liberty, Life, and Family Publications.

(Actually, they may not have come for the Jews first, as it's far more likely they came for the prisoners, mentally handicapped, and other so-called "inferiors" first -as historians tell us -so they could get "practiced up;" But, they did come for them -due to the silence of their neighbors -and due, in part, to their own silence. So the general idea is correct: "Speak up now, or forever hold your peace." --gordon)
