I donate to the Salvation Army. Ever since I saw the Red Cross charging for coffee after a tornado I haven't given them anything except for the 9-11 terrorist attack. I still wonder where all that money went.
On Friday night, swing-voters across the nation saw a one-minute advertisement paid for by the Red Cross featuring President Barack Obama.
The ad comes on the weekend before the election, and while the Red Cross does unquestionable good for millions of Americans, the choice to run this ad comes noticeably close to a campaign endorsement for President Obama.

I never saw any aid from the Red Cross, but they sure got the publicity. At the same time, the Salvation Army never sought any publicity. They quietly and efficiently took care of people.
