Pampering For Propaganda

I am not helpless and there is something I can do.  Educate and stand up for the State of Michigan.


Thousands of children are beaten and abused in Mid-Michigan.

You may feel a bit helpless, but there is something you can do.
This Friday -- Shapers Salon and Day Spa, 685 N Center Rd, Saginaw -- will donate all proceeds to the Child Abuse and Neglect Council of Saginaw County.
Money from any haircut, pedicure or massage goes to the CAN Council to help fight child abuse locally.

Contact Shapers Salon and Day Spa for an appointment at 989-793-3771.

Our friends over at Legally Kidnapped approached the marketing children issue from a more unique perspective.  I decided to stand up for the State of Michigan and the work of Ishmael Ahmed, Director of the Department of Human Services.  The following is an email sent to the Saginaw Child Abuse and Neglect Council, which receives funding from the Children's Trust Fund.

Perhaps, you may want to think twice next year before you check that box on your tax return to donate money to the Children's Trust Fund because they fund the promotion of distorted images of children to maintain their organization and weekly paychecks.  Probably a CASA hustle.

Greetings,

Recently, I read the post of a local news advertising for a fundraiser on your behalf and was appalled with the promotion of your organizations understanding of policies of the State of Michigan.

Thousands of children are beaten and abused in Mid-Michigan.

The issues surrounding child abuse and neglect are far more serious than a reduction to distorted images for the purposes of making money.  

Poverty is legally considered abuse and neglect. Does your organization promote this philosophy?

The inability to afford medical insurance is legally designated as abuse and neglect.  Is your organization promoting a political agenda using public money?

I take this time to stand up for the State of Michigan to dispel the myth that child abuse and neglect is solely about violence.  It is also about opportunity and strongly encourage you to partner with the State on its mission to protect and serve its people.


If Sagninaw CAN responds, I will post, but I highly suspect they just do not care as long as they get that dolla'!
