[CS-FSLUG] The Best Way to Help Tsunami Victims

[Fred A. Miller]

ALERT:  We've found what is probably the best way to help 
victims of last week's killer tsunami -- and it does NOT 
involve corrupt organizations like the United Nations. 
Please give now:

The official death toll, five days after a quake below the 
Indian Ocean sent killer waves up to 30 feet high crashing 
ashore without warning in south Asia, now stands at 124,000 
people. Five million people are homeless in the region.

But the worst may be yet to come. New reports say that the 
death toll in Acheh alone, the region worst hit by last 
Sunday's tsunami, may exceed 400,000 as many affected areas 
could still not be reached for search and rescue operations.

Aid started to get through to stricken areas, but not always 
to the right people amid poor coordination and destruction. 
Getting help from regional centers to people cut off in 
coastal lands, with obliterated towns, washed-away roads, 
scant fuel, barely a boat and debris-clogged harbors, is a 
nightmare. Experts are warning that disease could kill many 
more, with children most at risk. Diarrhea, cholera and 
malaria are among the dangers.

These people -- our fellow human beings -- need our help.

What they do NOT need is the kind of "help" that the United 
Nations brings -- but apparently, the United States is 
preparing to turn over millions of taxpayer dollars to the 
UN and its agencies, supposedly to relieve the immense 
suffering of millions of people.

This is OUTRAGEOUS, especially given the latest scandalous 
news about the United Nations, including the "oil-for-food" 
scandal in which UN officials and their designates received 
millions in payoffs, the way the UN oversaw the genocide in 
Rwanda, and the way UN officials in the Congo have turned a 
"relief effort" there into one giant sex slavery ring.

We don't need to give our money to the UN to help the 
tsunami victims. We need to give to an organization that 
has people on the ground there NOW -- people with a heart 
and passion only to serve... people who are ACCOUNTABLE.

We believe we have just the right organization: the Advancing 
Native Missions Organization (ANM). ANM stands behind 3,500 
indigenous or native missionaries who are reaching their own 
people in more than 60 countries of the world.

Headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, the Advancing 
Native Missions Organization is an inter-denominational, 
evangelical, non-profit missions organization founded in 
1992 that serves as a bridge between native missions 
organizations and the body of Christ in North America. In 
the Asian area alone, they are partnered with over 50 local 
ministries, including Indonesia, India and Thailand.

And unlike the United Nations... ANM is actually 
*accountable* for all of its funding. THIS is the kind of 
organization that can help the tsunami victims -- NOT the 
UN.

So let's show the real soul of America. Let's give from 
the heart, where it will do the most good.

TAKE ACTION:  As Joseph Farah wrote about the UN at 
WorldNetDaily.com, "Giving these predatory monsters our 
money and a new relief mission is tantamount to giving them 
a new license to rape and pillage people who need love and 
compassion."

As long as the UN exists, "it will siphon off vast amounts 
of money, manpower and resources that might otherwise 
accomplish some good."

No matter what horrors the United Nations perpetrates on 
innocent people, there is no accountability, no punishment, 
no consequence. That's why it is inevitable that we will 
only create new victims of this global monstrosity by 
sending more relief money to the UN.

PLEASE, help us get REAL assistance *directly* to the people 
who need it most, on the ground in the devastated areas. 
Make your best contribution right now to the Advancing 
Native Missions Organization:

NOTE:  All gifts given to the Advancing Native Missions 
Organization are tax-deductible, which means that your 
online donation TODAY -- before the end of 2004 -- can 
still be deducted on your 2004 taxes. In addition, ANM 
is a member in good standing of the Evangelical Council 
for Financial Accountability, and 92.5% of the funds 
received by ANM go directly to people on the ground in 
the devastated areas. Each year, ANM obtains an independent 
audit by a certified public accounting firm. Each group 
supported through ANM is researched and verified, and its 
financial methods validated. Regular assurances are made 
that all gifts given are being used appropriately.

Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants 
to help the victims of the tsunami, and wants to make sure 
their donation is actually USED in an accountable way. 
Thank you!
