SPECIAL POST
I’m sure we are all
getting our share of calls from charities and political organizations looking
for money. I have a few select charities
and organizations that I donate to, but it seems that they have shared my name
with every charity in the United States.
I specified to every one of them that I didn’t want to get any calls,
but that obviously fell on deaf ears.
And, of course, there’s
the endless list of political party committees.
Then, there are political committees of organizations.
I tried being polite and
telling people I didn’t accept requests by phone, by that got me nowhere. Then, I started telling them why I didn’t
want to donate and that got me into arguments.
So, I finally decided to simply hang up on them. Why have the aggravation?
Now, they’re calling
right back. This new tactic transforms
fund-raising to domestic terrorism. I don’t
know about you, but I’m now afraid to answer the phone!
Look, I recognize that
fund-raising has gotten tough. We have a
rough economy and people just don’t have the spare change. But, that fact doesn’t give these
organizations the right to bully and intimidate. They should be complaining to Obama about the
economy. They should be joining forces
to force a change in our government that will lead to better economic times.
They sure as hell should not be dialing my number, because I am
sick and tired of it. What say you?
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION,
respectfully submitted.
