while stiffing NY City school kids. Phony, cheap, thieving putzheads!
Here's an e-mail I got from the NY State Republican committee:
On July 7th the 2004 Republican National Convention officially announced the Compassion Across America Program. This is a community service program in which Republican leaders across all 50 states will organize service projects in their communities. Compassion Across America events will begin the weekend of July 24 and culminate with service events in New York City the week of the 2004 Republican National Convention. Each delegation is responsible for organizing a service project within their state. They will also participate in a project that the convention will assign to their delegation during the week of the convention.
For our state project we have chosen Operation Iraqi Children, an organization that collects and distributes much needed school supplies to children in Iraq. During and after Operation Iraqi Freedom, American soldiers found that Iraqi schools were in very poor condition, needing repairs and supplies. Through the reconstruction of Iraq the soldiers have been helping to improve schools and began requesting that friends and family send them school supplies to give to the children. As a result of this movement Operation Iraqi Children was formed by actor Gary Sinise and author Lauren Hilldebrand. For more information on the project please go to www.operationiraqichildren.org.
We are asking members of our delegation, county chairs, state committee members, and other friends to assist us in collecting supplies to donate to this project. School Supply Kits can be, mailed to State Committee Headquarters in Albany, the Metropolitan republican Club in New York City, or dropped off at your local County Committee Headquarters. A kit guideline sheet is attached. \ We encourage you to collect kits and supplies at your events over the next 2 weeks. The project will culminate on July 26th with “packaging parties” at State Committee Headquarters in Albany and at the Met Club in NYC where volunteers will gather to prepare the kits for shipment to the distribution center in Kansas City. County Committees that collect goods should contact Melissa Schwarz at State Committee to arrange shipment of kits to State Committee prior to July 26th.
I hope that you will all help us with this great project. If you have any questions please contact Lolita Jackson at lolitaj@aol.com or Melissa Schwarz mschwarz@nygop.org.
Sandy Treadwell Chairman, New York Republican Party
