Request for money..
werewolf, I think that you're being a bit 'thin skinned' regarding money.
It really does not matter what personal agenda that you subscribe to, those folks are going to ask for help in spreading that point of view.
I'm a Red Cross Volunteer, complete with Photo ID Badge and all the trimmings. I regularly donate blood, skill, and other resources. Guess what, they still ask for more help. I'm on a mailing list. Impersonal computer generated correspondence/phone calls just keep on commin'.
Church activities are the same.
Contribute money to any worthwhile cause, and, guess what, you're gonna hear from them again in the future.
Fact is, gettin' the message out, no matter what the message is, or where your sympathies lie, costs money.
If you wanna ride along of the coat-tails of someone else's commitment and dedication, you are free to do so.
Kinda like other aspects of 'freedom', you are free to enjoy the benefits, but it seems as though you are offended if you are asked to participate.
The term 'sophmoric' comes to mind.
You seem to be happy to let someone else pay for your admission to the picture show, and then complain that you didn't like the movie.

P.S...
It you care to continue this conversation, I suggest we use PMs. The keyboard is starting to get a bit warmed up.
