I posted the following to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society webpage (@ www.leukemia.org):
A statement, rather than a question.
Your telemarketing fundraiser's calls and unprofessional behavior is driving away more past and potential donors than you may realize.
Your managers/executive board should end your contract arrangement with whatever "professional (sic)" fund raising organization you are currently using.
If you want a broad, informal idea of the numbers of donors that the current telemarketing campaign is driving away, I recommend you do a simple Google search of just a few of the phone numbers that have been haranguing people since at least mid-May. 1-208-991-1209, 1-435-294-1281, and 1-866-323-5429 are just three of the numbers.
The telemarketers call multiple times per day, leave no message, and hang up.
Seriously - these guys are killing you!

Perhaps that might help stop this idiocy.
