!?!?!?!?Horowitz illegally collecting $ for Katrina, supposedly for Red Cr
Cross?????

(found in post #555 in 'Katrina, Myths and Fact' at
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx?50@668.RaSRa79iC0M.1@.773b3724
BTW, this is a very good discussion with links.....highly recommended)

....

“Please take a moment,” Horowitz with his newly-found compassion pleads, “to click the link below and make the most generous contribution you can to the American Red Cross.” Click on the link to give money on Horowitz’s site and you will not see a link to the American Red Cross’s donation page or any of its approved collectors. On the web page is a form to fill out name, address, and credit card information and various suggested amounts that go up to $5,000 dollars. Located at the bottom is not a mailing address for the Red Cross or their toll free number (1-800-HELP-NOW) but one sentence: “Paid for by the Center for the Study of Popular Culture. All contributions are processed through an encrypted, dedicated, secure server.” The CFSPC, a right-wing foundation Horowitz co-founded to fund his reactionary attacks on reparations, the anti-war movement, and now, as Bill Berkowitz has recently pointed out, immigrants. Horowitz’s organization is not only paying for the fees it is supposedly accruing by supposedly collecting money for the American Red Cross, but the CFSPC paid ten percent of its over $3 million budget to Horowitz in 2003 according to the own organization’s IRS forms. <4> Horowitz’s CFSPC is alleging that they are paying for the collection of the donations, but who is doing the collecting?
