2. NOPE

It's true.
Bush even mentioned "faith based" charitites and or-gan-eye-za-tions are helping with food and shelter.

Second selection down from the Red Cross too.

3. It says this "Operation Blessing" is one on a list....

We just avoid sending them funds...

Give to Red Cross, instead. (??)

4. No, it says thats its on the list of other site the FEMA recommends

you can donate to. Like the Red Cross, they're ALSO on that list. Money you donate To FEMA does not GO to Robertson's organization.

6. A note: FEMA doesn't take donations. You're right, though, they refer to

Pat Robertson's organization as a donation choice on their web site.
Hopefully, folks make good, informed choices with their donations.
