اجتماع الجالية بمنطقة واشنطون لدعم اهل دارفوربين حماس الاقلية وعزوف الاغلبية،،، 1+1 = 100 الف$

Quote: Our reasoning of working under the Sudanese community organization was as follows: In order to gain some legitimacy when we target American firms and businesses for donations was to introduce ourselves as a drive composed of members from the Sudanese community organization, therefore, it is natural for us (from the country where Darfur is located) to be approaching these firms. As you all know, Americans by their nature are very inquisitive, and also very generous when it comes to such a cause. We were preparing to have members from DRD schedule appointments and meet with executives of companies such as EXXON MOBIL, The American Red Cross, Clark Construction, Whiting-Turner, Inova Hospital and so on. We even thought about preparing exactly what we need to say to these executives, starting with "We are members of the Sudanese American Community in the Washington Metropolitan area, and are running a collective effort called the Darfur Relief Drive composed of diverse American Sudanese professionals, who agreed to come together, despite our ideological and political differences for the sake of our people in Darfur" So as you can see ya ustaz Mannan, although it appears there is very strong opposition to this drive being under SACDO by a few people, we will still carry on our efforts under SACDO because we are still planning to approach these American firms and will have ready answers for them when they ask us: Q: Who do you represent? A: We represent a large number of Sudanese Americans who are members in our community...AND yes... We are a legitimate entity, approved to collect your generous donations, because our community, SACDO, is registered as a non-political, not-for profit organization. AND yes, you can rest assured that we have done our research and have identified several NGO's currently working in Darfur that we have included in a short list of organizations we are considering to send the donated moneys to. Now, if any of these American firms had the time to log on this discussion board and read all the accusations of SACDO'S Executive Board being linked to the Kaizani regime in Khartoum, and they asked us about this. We would answer: There are certainly rumors about this being the case. But please bear in mind that we are a people who believe in the democratic process, and the best way to address this question and resolve this issue, should it be true, would be through the voting process that actually brought these (alleged) Kaizani lovers to power. And another point we would mention to this reluctant American donor would be DRD may be working under this community, but we are only (exploiting) our rights by using the mechanism, the registration, and the street address of our community's organization I would think that these answers might make this American firm comfortable in writing us the check or donating thier extra equipment and so on. Our hope was that you would react the same and tell us OK ya nas DRD, here is my donation, but please when you are done with this drive, expect us to to open a board where we will specifically bring evidence of our accusations, and hope that you would vote these Kaizani lovers out of office. So all of us would resolve this issue in the arena where it is supposed to be fought. Thank you all Respectfully The Dissident Cartoonist HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL, WITH YOUR WALLETS FOR THE OPEN DAY-----JUNE 10TH------DONATE NOW...ARGUE LATER.... .
