A few days later I was asked to donate to some veterans thing.. I contributed, gotta support the vets

Yesterday It was some program that helps children in need.. can't argue with that got to help children

Today it was some stupid narcotics awareness thing.. I told them I am done contributing

See I made one small donation and now they got me on some calling list. I don't mind helping good causes.. but come on everyday..

How do you guys handle these types of calls?
I had a similar situation. I gave money to the oregon cheif of police drug awareness/DARE program and within a few months I was getting hounded. I would get 3-5 calls a week from people wanting me to donate.
