----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Ferrulo, Progress Florida To: Charles Atkins Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 10:55 AM Subject: Our neighbors in Haiti A message from Florida Congressman Kendrick Meek: "I am joining with Progress Florida and encouraging Floridians to visit the Red Cross to aid in the humanitarian relief effort in Haiti. During these times of natural disaster, our first response is to donate food, clothing, and blankets to the disaster zone, but this goodwill often causes delays in the supply chain providing recovery to those in danger. By clicking on this link to the Red Cross and making a contribution, needed financial resources will go directly to the Red Cross who possess the know-how to quickly provide disaster relief and aid in the recovery effort of the Haitian people. Floridians always come together during times of crisis and natural disaster, and our neighbors in Haiti need our assistance." (Rep. Meek represents the 17th Congressional District of Florida, which includes Little Haiti. He represents more Haitian Americans than any other member of Congress.) --- You can also text 'HAITI' to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti. The charge will show up on your next cell phone bill. Thank you for helping our neighbors in their most desperate hour of need. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: catkins@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe, go to: http://progressflorida.org/unsubscribe
