Katrina and Nasty Marketers

I feel the same way ...
This was sent to me by Armand Morin:

you have to speak up about things that are just plain wrong!

I have been watching the news about Hurricane Katrina as I am sure
you have been too. My heart goes out to these people and I pray
they get the assitance they need as fast as humanly possible.

What makes me sick are the emails I have been receiving over
the past few days from people "claiming" to help. Maybe they
are sincere maybe not. I don't know.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Case #1 - A Scumbag Marketer
-------------------------------------------------------------

One marketer sent out information about how you can help. I
clicked on the link because I want to help out as much as I
possibly can.

Here's what made me sick to my stomach...

He had the nerve to actually require you to enter your name
and email address into an optin box in order to get the info!!!

What a marketing SCUMBAG! I normally don't talk like this, but
this one really got on my nerves. Why not just give the info?

Is this guy really that bad off that he has to profit
from these poor people? That's about as low as it gets!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------
Case #2 - Buy My Crap and I'll Donate (I don't think so)
-------------------------------------------------------------

I am certainly not going to buy anyone's stuff and HOPE that my
money goes to these people. Think about it, it first has to go
to this person and then they have to take out their supposed
costs and then, MAYBE, they'll forward they money on to a worthy
charity.

I DON'T THINK SO!!!

What is this person thinking? Hmmmm... if I use this DISASTER
which has left thousand of people HOMELESS... I can get my
product into the hands of more people... YOU IDIOT!

Again... another person who seems to be high on crack!

If you want to by a product, then buy a product. If you want
to donate, then donate directly to the source. PERIOD!

You don't have to buy a product in order to donate your
money to worthy charity or organization. Just do it.

Let me make my stance PERFECTLY CLEAR!

YOU DON'T PROFIT FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S MISFORTUNES!

These people are devastated, they lost their jobs, their homes,
some lost their loved one's lives, or maybe even their own life
due this major catastrophe...

How dare these people try to profit from this distaster!

I urge you to NOT support these SCUMBAGS!

If You Want To Help The Hurricane Efforts
-------------------------------------------------------------

Here's two links to legitimate organizations to donate you
money to if you want to help.

FEMA - http://www.fema.gov
Red Cross - http://www.redcross.org


Feel free to pass this message on to someone else.

Take my name off of it... I don't care. I just want to make
sure your kindness goes in the right direction and you are not
putting faith in people who are trying to profit from this.

Help someone and donate what you can today.
