Have you ever seen an appeal on TV or in other media for the

people of Iraq?

I was thinking about that today. The poor, suffering people of Iraq.

Anything asking Americans for donations to help??

1. I've seen a couple of things online. Mainly asking for shoes, school supplies, or toys

for Iraqi children.

[blm]

2. Good question. I 've only heard Gary Sinise talk about school supplies he takes

over there, but it always came off to me as if it was his way of cheerleading Bush's war for him.

btw, Gloria - I only recently read a piece you did in Sept 2004 on Teresa reHealthcare issue. You taught me alot that I never knew, and felt I was seeing her again for the first time in your words. Thankyou.

Too bad the corpmedia chose to ignore just about everything you saw as important.

3. Thanks for reading it....

But back to Iraq---it is really bugging me. If we're supposed to have "liberated" Iraq, then organizations should be proud and be making it a national priority to get donations over there, right????

[blm]

4. Like I said - the ones I do hear about seem to have a political agenda.

I don't believe Sinise is acting in an unpartisan way about his work, at all, and gives one the feeling that he's 'catapulting the propaganda' for BushInc.

5. Yeah, like where is the RED CROSS????????
