1000 Stuffed Animals

After I voted, I stopped in a U*S store to send a couple of packages. There were two young girls, and one adult, packing boxes full of stuffed animals. Big boxes, and lots of ‘em. Curious, I asked one of the young ladies, what gives?

She told me that she and some friends, with the support of her church, had organized a project to collect as many stuffed animals as possible, to send to the children in Russia who were victimized indiscriminately slaughtered by terrorists IslamoFascist pigs earlier this year.

There were over 1000 individual cards (one for each toy) written by each kid who had donated one of their animals to the cause, and each card was translated into Russian below the original message. She found a translator. Good job.

She was so proud. You know what? I am to.

Not bad for a small town in North Carolina.

Americans.

How absolutely wonderful!

It makes me wonder how

we can get so caught up

in politics, and, at the

same time, that is

precisely why. To protect

her friends and her

future. Thank you so

such for the uplifting

story! God bless small

towns everywhere, your

familly and you.

Aside from your story, you have a

fantastic site! May I please add you

to my links? They won't allow yahoo,

but that is where my DSL is. I have

dial up at msn, but I check it

occasionally. Just add 2004 dot

yahoo dot com to my other name, and I

will receive your answer right away.

Thank you so much.

(They don't allow yahoo in your

comments, and I was trying to

post with my e-mail

name+2004 dot yahoo dot com.

Sorry it took so many comments

to get it right! LOL)
