I'm sure you all have heard about the Georgia Bar owner's racist curious george T-shirts. In an interview with CNN yesterday, he said that he intends to donate the proceeds from his sale of those t-shirts to the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association).

I IMPLORE you to email them right now to tell them you do not approve of what he's doing and that they should not approve of how his this money was raised by taking this donation.

Here's their email address: [e-mail]
And their contact page: http://www.mda.org/contact.html
And their phone number: 1-800-572-1717

I'm pasting my own email to them below as a reference, though recommend you write your own. Thanks so much!

Dear MDA,
On CNN yesterday Mike Norman, owner of the Mulligan's Bar in Marietta Georgia, said that he is planning to donate the money he earned from selling T-Shirts which liken presidential candidate Barack Obama to a cartoon monkey. This is a highly racist and offensive thing to do, and I urge you not only to reject this donation, but to publicly denounce any contribution rooted in such hate and bigotry. The Muscular Dystrophy Association has always been an upstanding humanitarian organization, and should not let "dirty money" of this kind taint its integrity and honorable reputation. I would very much appreciate a reply to this email informing me of your plans in this matter. Thank you very much for your consideration,
Jude Morris
