Call from 206/988-1692 05/28/09 8:51 PM
fund solicitation for children's id, etc from supposedly police association.  Seemed to be bogus.

I believe a small fraction of what they gather does actually go to the charity they front.  A very small fraction.  I haven't been able to pin them down on what that fraction is.  I'm sure not giving them any money.

caller did not identify self, and caller asked for jessica culnane.
asked wife if she knew someone named jessica culnane.
googled name and found a youtube video of someone with the name.
notified the caller that jessica culnane apparently swam across lake
washington.
at this point the caller told us jessica used to have our phone number, and sorry for disturbing us and disconnected.

Another one of those “Feel-Good” law-enforcement charities, but only the smallest legal fraction of what they take in actually goes to the kids, cops, firefighters, Etc. they claim to represent.  These clowns make a mockery of the term “Non-Profit Organization”.  The really sad part is that they siphon needed funds away from the honest charities.

I don't give to charities I haven't thoroughly checked out first - which is why I wasn't willing to just commit to whatever amount was just asked of me. The lady who called had a really excellent script, putting on just the right amount of pressure when I started to resist saying "You see we were only trying to protect the children in [my neighborhood]".

I told her I didn't like  her tone.
