I got a phone call a few days ago asking for support for the California Organization of Police & Sheriffs. I tend to just say yes to some of this crap because I don't mind getting the tax deduction and I tend to be a giving guy. At the end of the conversation the telemarketer says thank you for my donation that is not tax-deductable. That sort of irked me because I wanted to write it off. Oh well.
I get the letter for the pledge and sure enough it says it is not tax-deductable. The I start looking and really this appears to be the lobbying wing of the PRK police forces. I read where they are a non-profit organization, but I can't deduct the amount. Then I start to thinking, I bet these are the liberal administrative schmucks that most of the rank and file cops hate and don't have anything in common with.
Well I don't feel like honoring my pledge much anymore, but more importantly, I need a reason. I go to their website and find just what I need to cancel my pledge.
"After visiting your website and seeing that your organization supported AB50, I cannot support your attack on the 2nd Amendment. Please remove my name from your list. I will find other organizations that support our Bill of Rights, not destroy it."
It will cost me .37 cents for them to get this note, but I think it is worth it to let them know why they are losing my money. What I ought to do is wait a few months and then send this note so they can spend some more money trying to get my pledge before I finally tell them to shove off. Nah, I will be nice though they don't deserve it.
