Please STOP right there. I, and the vast majority of other people in this country, do NOT want you calling us on our telephones and bothering us.
Alternatively, how about you publishing your home phone number and letting each and every person you bother call you right back. At all hours.
Oh, and while you're at it, make sure to give out the home and cellular numbers of the people who run your "non profit". I'm sure lots and lots of the people you canvass would love to return the favour. _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key snipped-for-privacy@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]
