Good point, Hawkflyer. In this case, reported to be parents of VT student victims, it wouldn't be appropriate to use the employer. However, if we seeanti-s with corporate or agency logo's, ID's, etc.we could toast them a little by a blistering letter to their employer about their employer's support for gun-control.

I dont' think that particular guy was a parent, though. There were two sets of parents, and he wasn't one of them.

Subject: Red Cross Employee at Protest?


Hello,

I recently attended the highly controversial "Bloomberg Gun Give-Away II" sponsored by the Virginia Citizen's Defense League (http://www.vcdl.org) at the Mason District Government Center in Annandale, Virginia on Thursday, May 17th from approximately 7 PM to 9:30 PM.This event attracted local, national and international media coverage.

While there, I noticed a protester who was standing directly in front of the cameras, both still cameras and video news cameras, holding makeshift poorly scribbled protest signs while wearing a black Red Cross t-shirt, black pants and still wearing his employee identification badge.Pictures of the event have already been broadcast all over the news and internet and I've attached four photographs of this protester to help you identify who this person is.

Politics aside, he most certainly has the right to protest, but to do so while in his work uniform and wearing his Red Cross employee badge does not reflect very well upon the American Red Cross and is likely a violation of the Red Cross Code of Conduct.His protest signs, nothing more than manilla folder after folder, seemed to have been made at the last minute using what are likely Red Cross resources and office supplies.Is that how my donations are being spent?Not to mention the poor grammar and syntax he used, the whole picture reflects extremely poorly on the Red Cross.

Thank you for your time.I look forward to hearing from you.

Most Sincerely,
Bob Cavalcante

Well, I did say, "next time," or meant it anyway. Oh well. Keep a copy of the letter as a template for the nextone. It was a good letter.

There's your next attack line, "You can get cookies from the compassionate Red Cross, but not the "compassionate" MMM."

If there's anyone that's good with graphics that can enlarge and crop and refocus the image, it might be possible to find out the company name on the badeg, if there are any good shots of him, either in still photos or motion.

Just a thought.

Good thought. I tried it, though, and none of the images are deep enough to get clarity once the image is enlarged. I suspect at that range you'd have needed 6-10 megapizels to get that depth.

I used ot have a great program that would "rebuild" graphics, kind of like you see on CSI and shows like that. I'll have to see if I still have the program and play around over the weekend.
