It's a good thing that you've had a change of heart! So many Americans sit in front of their computers and type out complaints that "somebody should do something!" Well, "somebody" is often "us." (That's the way this government was intended, but that's another discussion.) And sometimes it's so easy to do something that there's no reason not to, you know? Like the breast cancer thing....I don't know how much of the profit goes to research, but let's say it's only a measly 25 cents per bandana. Not much, right? I prolly have 20 quarters rolling around the floor of my truck and don't miss 'em. But if only 1% of the total US population bought one that would mean an additional 3.75 MILLION DOLLARS that would be generated.
Maybe that would help your Mom but probably it won't, I don't know. But maybe it will help you, or someone you know, or someone that hasn't even been born yet. Maybe even, in the long run, it could help thousands or millions of women. And all I have to do is wear a pink thing on my head and explain it when asked about it? Shiiiiiiit...easy.
BTW, I was impressed that your name seemed to be the contact info for that ride. A little effort and you are making a difference! Rock on, my friend!

thank you for the support. and as for the breast cancer thread, yes, I said that I wouldn't, however, I have changed my dance tune. My mom is now in stage 4 of breast cancer and she has sided that all women, including illegals, should have help. After a strong ass chewing from my mom, even at my age, I have had a change of heart, and have donated generously to the breast cancer society. As for the military letting illegals enlist or commissioned, I do know that is and has been happening, however, on the army side, an illegal or one with a green card, must become a naturalized citizen within 7 years of their enlistment or they must ets. Again thank you for the support and I truly hope that you see I have had a change of heart and mind set. Thanks again.

Good info, and thanks for the link! It's a good cause. I won't be on the ride but I did look up the link and will send a check tomorrow. I admit, it will be a pitifuly small check, but I don't have a lot of money and I think even a little bit can help, no?
Now let me ask you friend, on the breast cancer thread you said you would not support that cause until it was proven that the money did not go to illegals, right? Do you feel the same way about the Fisher House?
(Hint: 5% of the people serving in our military are illegal immigrants. One in ten of those who have DIED in Iraq have been immigrants. In fact, one of the FIRST Americans killed in Iraq, Lance Corporal Jose Gutierrez, was an illegal alien.)
Ride safe, and ride free.
