Tiahrt Calls on Kansans to Keep Kansas Red by Donating to the Red Cross

MINNEAPOLIS—U.S. Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-Goddard) today called
on Kansans to donate funds to the Red Cross in keeping with his "Keep
Kansas Red" theme at the Republican National Convention. Tiahrt hosted
a lunch for Kansans attending the national convention and urged those
gathered to give donations to the American Red Cross Midway-Kansas
Chapter or the American Red Cross to help with relief efforts from the
after effects of natural disasters in Kansas and the Gulf Coast
states.

"In keeping with my theme of Keeping Kansas Red this election season,
I have asked my fellow Kansans to consider donating funds to the Red
Cross Midway-Kansas Chapter or the American Red Cross to assist those
suffering from natural disasters," said Tiahrt. "Many Kansans and Gulf
Coast residents have been hit with destructive tornados and hurricanes
in the past few years. The Red Cross has been there to help those in
need, and I hope we as Kansans can lend our support to make sure the
Red Cross has the resources it needs to respond when disaster
strikes."

Donations to the American Red Cross Midway-Kansas Chapter can be made
by calling 316-219-4000. Donations to the American Red Cross can be
made by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or by going to www.redcross.org to
donate online.
