Ads"
December
10: Recent fundraising
letter by the Salvation Army included was a separate card
with the
bold headline:
"Equality."
The letter states in part, "We at The Salvation Army, want
you, our cherished
donor, to know that

Salvation Army
Picketed
December 6: The
picketers demonstrating outside the Salvation Army in L.A., did so in the
name
of equal
benefits. And without any
ill will, some even hoped donations would still be made to the
Salvation Army, during this
holiday season. Even the picketees', had no ill will toward the
picketers,
a few came outside
offering donuts to the picketers. Be it as it may, nice is nice. However, equal
opportunity in receiving
insurance benefits for all employees isn't just the nice thing to do, it's the
American Family Association, [AFA] to Buy
Back fake 5's with real Fives.
December
2: The AFA
labels GLBT Salvation Army protest against their discriminatory policy
"an untimely campaign
of anti-Christian bigotry." But, their campaign to exchange five
dollar bills
for fake ones being
put in Salvation Army Kettles by gay activists is dubbed "Redemption
for the
Intolerant."
Incidentally, the price of Redemption has a $1,000. limit.
Now, keep dropping those fake
five, so, we use up
every penny of their buy back campaign.
