Save The Children-Do not wish to be associated with Michael.

Deborah,from the UK who is part of J4MJ and a general all round hardcore Michael Jackson fan has been running this event on FB,'holding hands for Michael'.
She has set up a website for it and is aiming for the Guiness book of world records.
She wanted to involved Save the Children and include a donation button on the website page for MJ fans to donate whatever they wanted to the charity.
She was sent a reply that not only shocked her,but proves that even though Michael is innocent has always been innocent,charities such as this who should know better have been brainwashed by the trash and lies of the media.
They want to protect their 'reputation' by not being associated with a name such as Michael's because of the 'bad press' in 2005 and they have to consider carefully who they associate with.
Even though Michael has spent all of his life giving to childrens charities and helping them in other ways this is the thank's and gratitude he recieves.
I guess the term proven innocent in a court of law means nothing to them.
I do not think boycotting the charity is the answer,or sending them lots of angry emails.Neither will do any good.
They do help children which is their purpose,but they need all the help they can get and passing up an offer of having donations made by many a MJ fan passing through the website Deborah created to 'protect their image and repuation' is IMO selfish and
inexcusable.
They are ignorant and clearly need to stop listening to the media's BS,wake up and get with the programme.It's 2011,that whole period of Michael's life was 6years ago and counting,he was proven innocent and if they bothered to research would see he was clearly set up to start with.
Money makes the world go round,it funds their organisation,no offense but who are they to pass up offers of donations when they are constantly putting commercials on TV showing us how badly they need help to give aid and support.

Hopefully this works.The image is too large to fit on here.

WHAT??
I'll just zip it. Whatever will come out of my 'mouth' right now would be far from classy and not suitable for minor's to read. Simply baffled...
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Unbelieveable and as I said...selfish and ignorant.How many children could benefit from it?They aren't bothered because they might end up being in the media themselves and that would be tragic wouldn't it...morons.
Maybe they are just pissed they aren't already on this list of charities he has helped in the past...

LOVE Always!
They are truly ignorant and pathetic to me <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Some folks just can't let the past stay in the past and the present stay in the present.
I don't think hate mail is right either because the time I spend typing hate mail I could be doing something better in my life than trashing what's already garbage <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Now I see its alllll about the $$$.....people talk down about you when you pass and never have the guts to do it when your here...sad <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
It is beyond logic or understanding
If they could just think of all the children they can save with all the donations from Michael's fans it would be incredible!
Some people need to look at the bigger picture and be able to look past some things.
I hope one day they will open their eyes and notice the amazing opportunity they passed up <!-- s:sad: -->:sad:<!-- s:sad: -->
I agree with you Souza....

I wonder if OperationSmile feels the same way because I have been seriously considering donating to them. I think it’s something Michael would have endorsed. I really need to research that because I did not know that there were still large, reputable charities that were of that mindset <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> Any charity that feels that way doesn’t deserve a cent of my hard earned money. I’m sorry but NO. That gives me a sinking feeling. I mean really <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
Save The Children needs to stop listening to lies and see the whole truth. That Michael is 110% innocent and is only guilty of having a BIG heart for all children, especially those less fortunate.
I would not get all wound up over this. Simply shake the dust off your feet and let them find a WORTHY charitable organization to put as a hot button on the website. There are <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> millions of worthy, honest charities. Also, the charity on the button could change regularly, in order to spread the donations around...You can't go nuts over every ignorant person on earth. Choose your battles carefully. In this one: just turn the other cheek and move on.
Don't you think MJ had reasons for their not being on his list?? <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
I have SERIOUS doubts about the integrity (let alone the intelligence) of any organization who is more afraid of losing funds which have already been committed to them, than opening their hands to future contributions, possibly of gigantic proportions, in comparison. This tells me they have gotten QUITE comfortable having their ADMINISTRATIVE salaries covered, and they do not want to rock THAT boat, EVEN for "The CHILDREN".
This also tells me they don't even believe in their OWN cause!! They don't believe they CAN convey enough passion for the temporal needs of the world's children, in order to secure future funds. They are too interested in preserving any PRESUMED ignorant sensibilities of their static mailing list...
If they are doing anything good, leave them to it. THEY, themselves, have decided they want nothing to do with the Name of the man who spoke about LOVE more than anyone on Earth <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> ! You can't change frozen minds. Only God can. It is none of our business.
Please, remember who it is you would be representing, before you fire off rabid comments to them! Just saying... <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
I appriciate your thoughts and comments,but please do not tell me what to and what not what to do.I know you mean well but I don't need to be told who I would represent to turn the other cheek to,and how to feel about certain things going on in the world.
I am a grown woman.
What rabid comments?I haven't said in any of my posts I was contacting anyone,I have stated my feelings on the organisation and their comments/behaviour regarding this matter.Which I am entitled to do as someone who supports Michael,and also gives to charity.
I have shared a piece of information that is being shared and talked about within all circles of the MJ community-nons,believers,fanatics,supporters.I never wrote the thing and I have never projected a wish to try and change their minds.It is more than clear they are set on staying in 2005 with the media's BS lies and can't move on.
With that all in mind,although they appear to be frozen minded and unable to think for themselves,I do feel it is my business.I they were to put a donation envelope through my door and I never knew what they had said about Michael,I would happily be giving them money under false pretences and I'm not ok with that tbh.
As I said I appriciate your comments and point of view and I do question their integrity myself so I'm with you 100% on that but I don't appriciate you directing your comments soley at me.99.9% of everyone commenting on this thread feels the same about it so please direct your thoughts to everyone as a group or as your opinion =]
As for my SUGGESTIONs (I thought that the purpose of these boards was to express opinions) I wasn't even talking to you, let alone "solely" to you, and you know it. Your post doesn't say anything about retaliation, and you said you had no intention of making rabid comments. Why would I direct comments to you???
A couple of posts mentioned writing scathing comments to the actual charity. As you can see, I didn't quote their posts, even as examples of what I was talking about.
My point was that for all everyone's talk about the "Army of Love", I was concerned that lambasting charities by MICHAEL JACKSON FANS is seriously counterproductive, as well as another thing I won't mention.
You insist on being treated like a grown woman (where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, Deb French, is that YOU? Hello, again.), and then you proceed to disrespect me in the manner you perceive I have disrespected you. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
I NEVER mean any disrespect to anyone on these threads, and EVERY post of mine is OBVIOUSLY my opinion, as anyone can see by my screen name on them. Offering my opinion is meant to be conversational, for fun; helpful, not divisive. I appreciate the "heads up", though. The last few months, here, there has seemed to be a very harsh, hostile element of unrest.
And, btw, I am not intimidated at all by your mention of the "99.9%". Whether you meant it aggressively as, "the mob rules" or just to demonstrate solidarity, those 99.9% are entitled to their individual opinions as well. They do not alter mine. And there is no animosity.
<!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> I love reading them. <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: --> <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: -->
Anyway,
To quote TS: "The clock is ticking, and there is no time for unimportant or unkind controversy." I don't have the time for any more controversy than has already been generated by MJ himself. <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> My plate is full. Peace to you ALL <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> .
This is true they killed Michael,..destroyed his reputation and as we see the damage is so great that yet to today endures.
There are yet donations to Save the Children USA made by fans:
