I’m afraid the old “send me your money because it is contaminated with religion” routine is getting old.
The cross is on a military unit patch and is prohibited by Supreme Court ruling pertaining to the First Amendment. You really must take time to look into these things.

I see today that your whining about a symbol for a Colorado Army hospital? Seriously, don’t you people have something better to do? You’re telling us a cross on a hospital violates separation of church and state? Hello, Red Cross? A cross on medics’ uniforms?I will agree to your inane opinion and I will even get behind you and support and back it; I will even get out on the streets and protest and write letters and make phone calls…if you will do just one thing to prove your worth. It’s very simple and it doesn’t take much effort on your part.Give me your money. Seriously, I want everyone in your organization to dig deep in his or her pockets and purses and whatever cash and coin you find there, take it out (you may have to wear gloves so as not to be contaminated), put it all in padded envelope and send it to me. When you’re ready, I’ll send you an address.Why do I say this? Because every piece of currency you have in your possession is tainted with religion. In God We Trust is stamped and printed on every piece of currency. This currency is used by every American, no matter what religion that person is. Isn’t that a violation? Isn’t that against everything you stand for. Aren’t you being a hypocrite if you use this currency? Aren’t all military personnel, no matter what religion they are, violating separation of church and state every time they use this currency? Why are you complaining about this?If you send me all your money and vow to use only debit card, credit card, money orders, or checks to pay for your purchases and state you won’t use any more cash or coin, I will get behind you all the way. Let me know if you are willing to do this.Otherwise – shut up. Your stance against a cross on an emblem just shows the fringe lunatic group you are. Are you worried about Muslims getting all upset by a pointed cross? Do you think they expect another Crusade being planned? That emblem has been in existence for 41 years; I haven’t seen anybody crying and hiding because of it. I swear, you people just search out things to be offended by and complain about. I’m sorry, but there is no statement in the Constitution that says you have a right not to be offended.You have no justification and no support for this stupid stance against an emblem on an Army hospital that the majority of America didn’t even knew existed until it showed up on Yahoo news.But, like I said, I will get behind you if you send me your money. I’ll know what to do with it so you won’t be offended. Let me know you have the currency packed up.Laughing my head off,(name withheld)
